What computer are you using?

I bought this one a while back for my birthday..

Macbook Pro 15" 2010
Inter Core i7 2.66 GHz
4 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
NVidia Gefore 330M

It's actually the best laptop I ever had and it's performance is above great.
 
I have a Dell Latitude D600 (I don't know much about computers but I do know that this is my dads old work one.) xD

Something similar to this actually. The only difference is the HDD and I don't have NVidia (I think).
 
I'm using a custom computer from cyberpowerpc =3.

It's all beast and stuff. Runs any game on high. Lag is not a problem.

I do love this computer.
 
I`m using this laptop :

ASUS X57VN-AS025C
- NVidia GeForce 9650M GT, 1 GB VRAM
- 4 GB RAM
- Intel Core 2 Duo, P8600, each core : 2.40 GHz
- Windows Vista Ultimate, 32-bit
- 320 GB in description, 288 GB (C:149, D:139) in real-life xD

Other facts :
- Got it on January 9th 2009
- Failed on 4th August 2009
- Fixed on 8th August 2009
- Working ok/good till today
 
I am not wiz at computers and computer structures ect; but all I know is that I go on PC the msot with my quick yet rubbish old netbook that I got given by my school. It's got windows 7 installed and it's actually quite groovy. I am thinking of installing it onto my large computer. :?

Multiple Displayport monitors must have set you back a bit, what screens did you get? And a 5970 is going to be better for driving multiple screens.

Also, what voltage did you require for the 4.1GHz on that Phenom? Model and Stepping would be appreciated. If you're feeling up to it, what CPU block and rad do the WC setup use? I'm going to assume that you aren't water cooling that GPU, as the non-reference PCB due to the extra VRAM means you'll struggle to find a block.

Oh, and 3.25GB of RAM must be fun. What kit are you using? Also, no reply pretty much guarantees that you don't actually have this machine.

For the LOVE OF GOD put a proper graphics card in that. With those peripherals, you clearly intend to play games.
 
Yeah, lol. I plan on it. But money's been tight. I'm gonna build a new machine, and tweak the parts according to your comments.
If money's tight, then I'd be upgrading what is otherwise a perfectly good system. You'd have to check that the Power Supply could cope, but you could just fork out under $150 for an ATI 5770 and you'd be sweet. Alternatively, you could get a less powerful, hungrier Nvidia 250 for $120.

I'm not suggesting that you must go and buy a new graphics card, but if money's tight, definitely go with a new graphics card over a whole new system.
 
Yeah. I mean, the new system was for when I got a job. Lol.

I think my PSU is 500W, but I'm not entirely sure. Thanks for your help, by the way.

Then it depends on the brand used, but you could well get away with a 5770 on that. And it's best not to plan a specific system for too far ahead, as the industry changes in a matter of months.
 
Well, I'm using two of them. One's a custom machine with a Gigabyte MA75GM-US2H motherboard, and has other specs I don't feel like posting. The other's a Sony Vaio FW350J. I'm satisfied with both, as they meet my needs at the moment.

Now I feel like posting some specs:

Desktop
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit/Ubuntu 10.04/Windows XP Pro
RAM: 8 GB DDR 2 800 ('Cause I won't be running too many NEW games, just a lot of virtualization for school)
HDD: 500 GB Samsung HD502IJ, 80 GB Hitachi, 80 GB Hitachi
Mobo: See quoted post of mine
Processor: AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black (gonna enable that 4th core one of these days)
Video: Onboard (I'm just largely running older games or lower resolution new games so I don't need much, but I may look for recommendations on cards or just sell this to my brother and go out and build myself a better one next summer).
PSU: 750W OCZ (forgot the particular model)

Laptop
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
RAM: 4 GB DDR(?)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
Video: Onboard
HDD: 320 GB (manufacturer unknown at the moment)

I may tweak these as I rediscover a little more about the components in each.
