Computers & DOD:S

well its that time of year again where my machine may get an upgrade

all sparked by the breaking of my headset

what i am wonderin what do you guys run comp wise.
what peripherals??

really main concern is new headset i had a 40 buck logitech headset but if there is anything heaps better you guys know of i would like to know!

while i am at it what are most of you getting fps in dod:s i am not content with average of 40 to 60 and max of 90ish but i could just be a whinger

ahahha i get 20-60 at the most man what are u complaining about ? lool

7000 series gForce cards are so cheap these days, you should be able build a cheap box that can pwn source.

Make sure you get at least CAS 2.5 RAM (if you're upgrading the RAM) is only other thing I'd make sure of. Otherwise any caveman can build a decent box cheap.

Mine old as these days though, I will probably upgrade at the end of the year. Mine's A64 4000 (I think), 1 gig CAS2.5 RAM, crappy 6600GT card, and a silly amount of HDD space (700 gig).

If I was going to upgrade I'd get the same amount of RAM at 533 or 566 MHz or whatever it is, the fast one these days, the best Core DUO chip I could afford (with 1 GHz FSB), and the best 7000 graphics card I can afford (no less than 7900GT, since they are cheap anyway, or they are in Korea anyway).

Biggest thing for a fps gamer has got to be a fast and big TFT screen though. Sleep's is leet, 2ms 19 inch. That's pretty much exactly what I'd want.

I don't know much about the latest AMD chips though, apparently they are better bang for buck for gaming, but they annoy me because the one I have now is shitballs at multi-tasking. I prefer my old HT P4 (which unfortunately melted).

meh i got an amd 3200 a gig of ramm 500 gig hdd space and 6600 gt so yea mite get a new screen or gfx instead

Nice comp sleep. Except for graphics card, but it's impossible to keep up these days.

Im waiting till next year to upgrade...

As the quad cpu is coming out and the 8 series nvidia cards... oh and vista (which can take 8 gig of ram)... so yeah... Im waitin

yea i decided that i could go det the bst.. but i could pay 300 dollars and get the one down ( when it came out).. so meh

Yea top of the line is always a rip, one down is usually the bang for buck. I so wanna get at least a dual-GPU card next time though. Dual GPU/Dual or quad CPU... mmmm multitasking madness... I love multitasking.

its cos u cant do it so u make ur computer!!

Well... yes...

I can't do 3 billion floating point calculations per second in my head...

I've failed at life! Oh, the humanity!

hehehe dumb ass!!

yea no shit exchangable mouse weights are a waste there is no point

what a bunch of geeks ! i have a amd athlon 2.1ghz , 1 gig or ram like 300 gigs HDD space and a gforce 4 mx 440 64mb and i pwn u all hahahahahahahahahahahaha

lol that was the g card i had b4 i came over!!.. it rocked!!
