  3 or a 4, mines about the same spec m8. hehe ;  A 6.Thats what my computer was before I upgraded.  ;  7. Apart from the 3D card it seems fine.   [edited by - Me about five minutes ago];  Depends what you want to do.. if you want a gaming system, upgrade your GFX card. If you want to be a developer, it''s great, much better than mine.Oh and 8. I rated it this high, because it can run almost eveything you want, though not as fast as possible.  ;  Far, far better than mine. I'm still running on an old 700mhz athlon. It's got to the point where many new games simply don't work at all.I'm going to do a complete upgrade shortly though. [edited by - Sandman on May 28, 2004 8:56:35 AM];  Thread: I rate it e^2. Just gfx card needs upgrade.Yes I am going to upgrade aswell.I should start researching again sometime soon.Gone are the days when my 1.4gHz Athlon and Geforce 2 gts pro were kings of the road... ;( ;  RAM always helps. ;  My machine is only slightly better:Athlon XP 2400+640 MB DDR PC2100 Radeon 850021" Hitachi Superscan 811~240GB (200+40)LiteOn CD-RW 48/24/48NuTech 8x DVD+RWI run new games fun (though not on highest settings, they still look very good). I get around 60 consistent FPS in UT2004 deathmatch with most settings on ''normal'' at 1024*768. Of course, it did take some tweaking, but it runs very well now =-) ;  Well if you compare yours to my current system:P4 3.0Ghz1024 400mhz DDRGeforceFX 590080GB SATA (I dont download crap or pirate so I rarely even fill over 40GB hehe)I would rate yours pretty much equal in real world use.. because there is barely anything that mine can do that yours can't... if anything, except cost more which is a bad point B-)  Both will play games perfectly fine, develop fine, high productivity, etc.   [edited by - Imperil on May 28, 2004 10:43:28 AM]
