What are your computer specs?

[letterone 1,203]

The computer which I use is the family computer. It's rather meh. It has a quite good graphics card (I don't know any specifics off the top of my head) and is running on Ubuntu. Dat's about it.

YAY for Ubuntu!

 

My working box is following:

Core2Quad 2.4GHz

4GB RAM

ATi HD6770

2x 24" Asus FullHD monitors

Kubuntu 11.10 //Makes the awesome!

 

At home I've got a 27" 2.8GHz i5 iMac

Funny. Me and Feld0 have the same exact HP laptop dat pavilion

you can find out your graphics card name by doing this in the terminal

 

lspci | grep "VGA"

As long as I can watch Ponies on Youtube, it can be called a computer. Even if it's a PC. And even if it's Vista.

 

So true my friend.

 

I run two Mac OS X's. The laptop is slower than Tank, but the desktop can compete with Rainbow Dash.

[Dark Sky 3]

I run "PieceofCrap OS x"

[Creamy Arty 6,251]

Phenom II X4 955 (was going to get a Bulldozer but everypony knows how they turned out)

Asus Sabertooth 990FX motherboard (more on that in a minute)

Radeon 6970

8GBs DDR3-1600 (G.Skill Ripjaws - great value, but I had to set the timings manually because they defaulted to 1066)

NZXT White Phantom case (wanted the black or red but white was on sale at Newegg at the time)

OS: Kubuntu 12.04 for just about everything, Windows 7 for all modern games and most of my Steam library; and Windows XP for some older stuff that doesn't work well with Win7, Wine, or any other emulation technique. Triple-booting is a bit of a pain, but I can live with it.

 

 

I have one problem with the motherboard: it has a Realtek 8111E network adapter. This is only a problem with Linux. The Linux kernel includes the r8169 driver and as far as I know it works well with all NICs that require it, but it doesn't have the r8168 driver that I need for this NIC. So I downloaded the latest driver from Realtek's site. The installation script doesn't work, so I extracted it myself and added it to my kernel modules list for it to load at boot. My network adapter is still using the wrong driver. I completely delete (or so I thought) the r8169 module and blacklist it. It's still using it. No matter how much I struggle I can't get it to use the proper module. Most of the time my network connection works normally, but at times it gets dreadfully slow or unresponsive. I happened to have a PCI 8169SC Realtek network card laying about so I installed it, resulting in kernel panics I haven't been able to solve. I also have a wireless Realtek adapter plugged into a different computer running XP that constantly drops the connection and needs a frequent driver reinstallation.

 

The moral of this story is don't buy a Realtek network card under any circumstances if you're using Linux, and even if all you use is Windows and Mac you should probably avoid them as well. Always check what kind of NIC a mobo has before you buy it, and if it's a Realtek 8111E, BUY A DIFFERENT BOARD. I can't tell you how many forums I've crawled through looking for a solution, and many others are afflicted with this problem too. Realtek has always sucked. We use a PXE at work for imaging computers and using many other useful utilities. We just bought a large quantity of laptops with Realtek network adapters that won't pixie boot properly and we've been struggling with reconfiguring the driver to make it work.

 

If you're thinking of buying a cheap, store brand network adapter of any sort, you should probably pass it up for a reputable brand like linksys or netgear. Most of those products, Newegg's Rosewill network adapters for example, are cheap, re-branded Realtek devices.

 

 

thats the downfall of playing on pcs

 

when you finally get something put together its already virtually outdated

oh ya, it'll definitely be easier. At least you know if you buy a xbox this year it'll still play games designed for it next year

Well, the computer can become a bit archaic, but a rig that can smoke a new console when it's launched will always vastly outperform it. I built my computer sometime near the end of 2006, and it could decimate the PS3. Obviously the same was true five years later. I couldn't play everything "maxed out" anymore, but what I got was still far superior to the console experience. I wanted more, so in November of last year I rebuilt it with modern hardware, but there was no need if I was content with my already superior visuals; I wanted more, but I didn't need it. I don't know where people get the idea that just because newer hardware exists than what they have that they must upgrade. Or that computers require constant upgrades to keep up with the consoles, whose hardware never changes.

(This computer i pay for through my school. So no OC or dualbooting here)

 

And that's it.

 

pfft, windows 98? wish owned a working piece of old hardware.

 

I run XP on my desktop back home.

It's a decent machine, though it can't really run newer games on anything but low.

However I plan on getting another PC when i'm back , so hopefully i'll have something that'll be ready for "Next-Gen"

 

windows 8 is coming out soon. Windows 7 is a really good OS though.

[GrooveBroove 680]

I think I might stick with Windows 7.

Mainly since I know its reliable already, and I know games are going to support it for a long while.

(hell most games STILL support XP)

[Zelorin 10]

I run a custom rig i built about a year now. I never really gave it a name of its own, maybe I will some day.

 

Dekstop Specs:

* OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

 

* Cooler Master HAF 932 Case

* AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition 3.2Ghz

* ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AMD 890FX AM3

* 6GB of Corsair PC12800 DDR3 Ram

* EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SE 1GB GDDR5

* Razer BlackWidow Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

* Razer Naga Molten MMO Gaming Mouse

* HP 24" LCD Monitor

 

I am really in love with this new keyboard I recently bought, The Razer BlackWidow Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, it was $80, but i feel its an investment worth while since a good keyboard is important when you spent as much time on the computer as I do. That and I really love the clicky sound it makes whenever I am typing. I never want to stop typing because of it hehe.

 

I also have a HP DV7 laptop, and a Dell Mini (Inspiron 910) Netbook.

[EryDash 26]

I have an Acer Aspire 5742G. With a crappy fan and a computer that becomes to warm if I play something harder than Minecraft.

[DerpyBrainz 3]

Laptop specs (mostly taken off of my control panel since I can't remember everything off the top of my head):

• Model: HP Pavilion dv7 (3063-cl according to the labels on the bottom)
• OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Processor: AMD Turion II Dual-Core M520, running at 2.30 GHz
• 4.00 GB of RAM
• 500GB hard drive

I don't think it's anything special, but I think it boots up and runs at a nice pace so I'm happy. At least right now it's not my mom's old desktop computer, which is some HP machine with Windows XP and (last I checked) 256MB of RAM. It takes forever to completely boot up, or at least to the point where it can open up and run Firefox; she's timed it at over half an hour.

[Rochambo 88]

This is just my opinion, but the way I see it; not knowing your computer's hardware is as stupid as not knowing what you drive to work every day.

Well that really depends on how computer savvy you are and how much you care about computer specs. The same goes cars, some people might only know the make and model and that it's because they aren't interested in the finer details.

[Carbon 57]

I bought a Sony Vaio laptop last year, mostly to cater gaming and portability.

 

Specs:

• Windows 7 64-Bit
• Intel i7 2630QM @ 2.00Ghz (2.9Ghz Turbo Boost)
• Nvidia GeForce GT540M Overclocked @ 800Mhz 1GB DDR3
• 500GB Hard Drive + 1Tb Portable Hard Drive.
• 4.00 GB RAM
• Blu Ray Disc Drive

It is pretty decent for what I need it for, comfortably runs Battlefield 3 at medium settings and runs most games pre-2009 at max settings.

[Kaneki 1,072]

I'll go first.

 

Regular laptop:

2.9GHz AMD Phenom II x2 N640

320GB HDD

4GB DDR3 RAM

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250

160GB HDD

3GB DDR2 RAM

nVIDIA Geforce 8200G M

Unwind Linux 2013 (soon, now it's just Arch Linux)

 

I know my developer laptop sucks, which is why I'm going to look for a new one LOL. You?

[Anonymous~ 588]

2.6GHZ AMD athlon X2 dual core Processor 5000+

1TB+ HDD

2GB RAM

32-bit OS Windows 7 ultimate

A pretty crappy PC when it comes to gaming, but it has a lot of space.

 

Oh.. and the OS is legit.. I SWEAR!

[Vicke 3,187]
