"L, did you know that, shinigamis only eat apples?"

Good for what?

Stop using caps, it's annoying.

<3 www.adultsheepfinder.com

obviously copied and pasted not typing all that.

If you get mad, lol

Gaming :D

and ya pasted

"L, did you know that, shinigamis only eat apples?"

what company is this from ?

#Maingear

www.VigorGaming.com

"L, did you know that, shinigamis only eat apples?"

of course its "good" but you're paying 2500$ for it...

so?

thats why its called "Work"

so this is a decent system?

and what do the "Data Hardrive" and the "Operating Hardrive" do?

and having Raid 0 Improve benefit Gaming?

Same has Dual Graphics Card; i know it decreases the stress on the cards; but anything else?

thnks XD

"L, did you know that, shinigamis only eat apples?"

It's definatly good but... get bigger storage data.. 2x80 gb is nothing these days. and windows xp 64 bit isn't stable enough. Just get Win XP 32bit

wing it

win xp 32bit wont see all 4gb of ram

unless you're smart ;)

Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement. Mark Twain

Xp doesn't see 4 gb, it see's 3.25 gb but it still uses the 4 gigs.

wing it

uhh this computer will only have 1 or 3 games on it thats IT!!! ( and lil other programs; 80 gig will be plenty)

i have my other computer to do all the other s****

this computer is to play at MAX performance with no BS; like this Dell i have; thats EWW but decent

so thats y only 80 x2 for harddrives; or lowest drive it can go

so ya....and i thought 64-bit was alot better than 32?
better data transfer and such

and im NOT going Vista....

and wut Xp is better?

Media, Pro, Home????

thnks

"L, did you know that, shinigamis only eat apples?"

Your spending $2500 and you went with AMD? WOW.

AMD Opteron 180 @ 2.8ghz Air | Evga 8800GTS | 2GB G.SKill DDR

ehh wanted to go with intel; but thatll be 3500$ instead of 2500$

and i wanted my limit to be 2500$

so ya....

"L, did you know that, shinigamis only eat apples?"

try cyberpowerinc.com out

AMD Opteron 180 @ 2.8ghz Air | Evga 8800GTS | 2GB G.SKill DDR

no its not

Intel e6750 / Asus p5k / 2GB Patriot / 8800 gts 640 / 250GB / Antec 900 Case / Corsair hx520 PSU

Go with Intel and nvidia.

Either e8400 or q6600, then a 8800GTS 512.

edit: might want 9800 GX2 but i dont know if that any good.

hi

Well, that whole system is worthless if you're getting a 17" monitor. You need at least a 22" to utilize "crossfired" cards. Find someone who can build a system for you, otherwise you're wasting your hard earned money on that.

ehh ive look at cyber just seems kinda Expensive but ill try to slim it downz....

ill either order from Vigor or Cyberpowerinc

actually that monitor is for my other computer; i use a RTS for fps games :D but 15 inch

so dont even bother with the monitor, mice or keyboard...i alrdy have that stuff

just need helpz with system info

so y a 22" to need to utilize the "crossfires"?

meaning y it matteR?

Ehh what about this one?

Which one is better?

"L, did you know that, shinigamis only eat apples?"

i'm recomending some...AMD Phenom 9600BLACKBOX, 4GB DDR2 Mushkin, G.Skill or GeIL, 2 video cards - nVidia eVGA 9800GTX SSC, and hard-drive, and power-suply and others, search on the internet...

i would seriously consider trying to customize your own computer rig. you'll be surprised how powerful a 1,000 dollar rig can be nowadays.

Xbox LIVE: CknSalad

e8400
asus striker maximus formula II 780I
4gb Crucial Ballistix
dual 9800GTX
antec 900
Corsair 620hx
Raptor 150GB X2
some other storage if needed

Intel e6750 / Asus p5k / 2GB Patriot / 8800 gts 640 / 250GB / Antec 900 Case / Corsair hx520 PSU

uhhhhhhhh 2500$

DO NOT get a phenom...worst choice ever. Windows XP 64 is perfectly fine, I am using it right now. The only real trouble with is, trying to find an anti virus for it. About the monitor, what he is trying to say is, you need a bigger monitor to utilize higher resolutions. However, you don't "have" to have a bigger monitor, a smaller monitor will allow you some leeway in using AA and AF.

way to expensive can find a better build for like $500 less.
