GTATHUG77 Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 P4 3.06GhzAbit Bh7 Motherboard 1Gb DDR RAM ATI Radeon 9800PRO THAT SOUNDS SWEET, but, you must have money to burn, and ponder this to yourself before you buy, am i just upgrading my pc so that i can play Vice, is it really worth it, you are CERTAINLY going for a high end gaming machine, but is the amount you are going to spend on this thing worth the rewards. Well in my opinion YES, but hey, it's not my money so you decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwanda Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 let me put it this way........this is gonna be my second comp after 5 yrs.....my current comp is a 333 celeron, with a 32Mb Riva TNT2, and 256mb ram... i'm planin on building a comp i wont have to upgrade in another 2 yrs...so i guess it'll be worth the bread!

Purple9 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Damn, your (to be) comp is easily good enough for Vice. It fits nicely under the "recommended" specs for it.. Glad you're gettin' rid of your Celeron tho...geez, they've had it! The Precinct - We're upping our standards, so up yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldmine Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I'm 29 so I can't go running to mommy everytime I need a new PC. She'll just tell me to get a job again and move out of her house (so she can "Get Some God Damn Peace and Quiet!" as she put it). Oh well, I'll soon hit the big 30. I bet I can ask for it then. It's one of those special birthdays, so I better not miss this opportunity. -cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKHAM Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 my cpu is ok amd athlon xp 2000 Ram is plentiful 1.25 gig DDR ram Audigy sound, 5.1 speakers, blah blah but my graphics card sux. GeForce 2 Ti 64mb God damn need at least a GeForce 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjake88 Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I would get an ATI radeon instead of a geforce. Radeons are faster. I never liked the geforce's for some reason, but that is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistic Jello Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Hey jake, ya got another star already? Sheesh. My current specs: Athlon 1700+ XP (1400 mhz) 2 20 gig 7200 rpm hard drives Geforce2 MX400 (32mb) 256mb sdram My new computer (in the process of buildage at a local computer store) P4 2.53 Radeon 9700 or 9800 Pro (trying to convince my dad to get the 9800 ) At least 100 gig hd space 512mb DDR ram Sound Blaster Audigy Live XP Pro Boy, I see that, and then I look at my PS2 specs. That video card is definitely going to help, with the massive draw distance on Vice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACA Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Methinks this belongs in General Discussion. Oh, and itsjake88, the reason those stars havn't been removed is because of posts like that. You could have PMed a mod/admin. .:[MOVED]:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
