Awesome New Rig
Posted 17 Sep 2008 by
I finally built a new computer system after much waiting and speculation. I initially intended to go with a Quad Core CPU (Q6600), which I already have, but since I was unable to find a motherboard that supported it at a reasonable price locally, and importing felt like too much trouble, I decided to just go with a Dual Core CPU for now. Of course, obligatory specs:Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2180 2.00GHz (overclocked to run at 2.40GHz)
2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 RAM
PNY GeForce 9600GT graphics card with 512MB DDR3 memory
Seagate 80GB SATA hard disk drive
LG DVD-RW drive
Pretty sweet rig, to be honest. Got a Vista Experience Index base score of 5. And I can now play my games on max settings without breaking a sweat. I finally got around to playing and beating Call of Duty 4 (sweet, but short) and Half-Life 2: Episode Two (although longer than Episode One, still felt like it ended too quick) over the past few days. I'm currently replaying S.T.A.L.K.E.R. since I never got around to finishing when I played it on my laptop. The games look so beautiful! I'm going to add a 750GB or 1TB hard disk drive, eventually, once I can find them around here at decent prices, or maybe I'll have to resort to importing. We'll see.
