hey,

I would like to call all my pc's gaming ones as i plays games on all three.
But, the games i plays differs. he heh. So I would call all the three gen.purpose. Although i use my laptop for most of my works, and the remaining 2 for games. Note the config below.

IBM Thinkpad,P3 1 ghz, 256 mb sdram, 30GB HDD, Trident Cyberblade AGP, addon wifi pcmcia card. -------> this is my primary workhorse, as i used to work on it most. I plays small games occationaly on this, and watches movies and music and kinda stuff, if i am away from home.

Athlon 64 3000+ , 1GB DDR,FX 6600, 120 GB hdd, DVDRW,DVDrom, Hitachi 19" Flat CRT...This is my Entertainment centre....Uses for playing games, music,watching and copying movies and dvd's and all other general stuff...

AthlonXP 1600+,GFX 5200,512BM SDR,80 GB HDD, CDRW,CDRom,15"Philips CRT...This was my previous entertainment centre, was reluctunt to sell,So just keeping it as standby unit..Uses it to play old games and experimenting linux mostly.

(By the way, i have a p100 mailserver, which serves as a basic mailserver,so leave it alone!)

AND , belive it, as u may think, I Aint son of Ambani or Tata !!!!!...Very basic family,had built all these systems from my hard earned money, and was tooo keen with computers !!

The definition of a gaming rig depends on many things and obviously varies person to person. One might call his PC a gaming rig if he can play play all not-so-latest games in his PC having a onboard graphics option. On the contrary one might not be happy with his system if he cant play Doom3 or HL2 there instead of having a dedicated graphics card. It totally depends on how hardcore gamer you are.

I have also seen guys having decent mid-range graphics card who dont play games (They have it for animation s/w and video encoding). Do you call it a gaming PC?

How ever, in my home, I have AMD 3000, 512 MB ram, 160 GB, 6600GT card, 17" monitor. And I play lot of games there. So I can call it a gaming PC.

Ya, Keith was right. Average PC n office PC's r almost the same. But many use average PC's as an all-in-one PC.

I have a quite good pc but i use it for games

Celeron 2.4 ghz
512 mb ram
Geforce FX 5200
120 gb hdd

all games till date play in my comp. even battlefield 2

Well, if all goes well, than i am gonna buy a Dual Core PC in january, consisting a MSI Board, 1GBs of Samsunbg Ram and a XFX GeForce 6800U, just wait and watch

Well, If we can overclock infinitely and if we have ultra cioolers withus then i wud have 5-6 ghz processor, still i wouldnt be satisfied coz DX9.0c doesnt support it :lol:

i Updated my system with XFX GeForce FX 5200 and increased the Ram to 640MB

Here's a screen of FarCry at it's Maxium Settings@1280x1024 it looks awesome, check it out

Not yet. Its completely stable at 2.8Ghz.
Anything over 2.88 and prime fails so i am keeping it at 2.8Ghz keeping 80Mhz buffer.
I have XP-90 cooling this CPU so temps are preety good. Less than 50C under load.
I have a CM wavemaster cabinet with nice airflow inside so no no problems till now.

Average pc

1.6 ghz

256 mb sdram

sis 650 onboard graphics

I got a average pc
See my siggie for details

according to what u guys have described above as normal pc- one which can do everything except play game then i must have an abnormal pc....one which can play doom3 :lol:

My Specs,

AMD 3500+ (64 Bit)
ATI RADEON EXPRESS 200G (A58K9-MLF) MOBO
X850XT PE (256 MB) GRAPHICS CARD
2 GB RAM (DUAL CHANNEL).

Well... mine is PIII, 64 SD RAM ,1 Ghz, DVD ROM and CD RW,40 GB HDD...

Am getting fed of this PC lately.. as no longer am able to play any good games on it...Still can do lots of things... (except Gaming)....

Yeah i have even installed Win XP... and should say its running quite smooth..if properly configured...

Dipen

i have sumthing near to super computer :wink:

P3 550mhz
191 mb SDRam
No AGP slot
bad speakers
But it runs vice city(Actually it gets stuck after an hour or so while playing)

B

i was with a Pentium III till last year.. and could not even play games like Hitman 2.
now i got enough of saying no to high end games and got myself a P IV, 512 Ram, 128MB graphics card, DVD writer.. and loads of games..

A

home pc
3.06 Ghz, 915Gv Intel chipset, 512 Mb ram, 80gb hdd, intel extreme graphics
i don't play too many games other than CS-cz of course

I would like to know how do u define a gaming PC.

I have X300 GPU integrated, and i can play all the games right now, but, not all at high settings, i cant play doom3 at ultra high settings, can play Far Cry at huighest settings.

So that's basically a question of definition,

I have

AMD 64 3000+
MSI RS480M2-IL
1 Gb DDR 400 ram, running Dual Channel
250 Gb SATA Seagate Barracuda

I find it hard to believe that you can play Far Cry @ Max Settings with an integrated X300 ...... and I'm assuming that AA and AF are off ...... what resolution do you play at and what kind of FPS's are you getting? Anything above 35 at a minimum of 800x600(preferably at 1024x768) is playable in my book .... If you do manage that, then you have a highly optimized system

i agree wid kniwor as even i hav exactly the same rig wid 512 ram but still i can play FARCRY wid medium setting at 1024x768 widout any problem hav neva tryed high settin as thought it mite not work properly but now i will try it as kniwor said he is able to play in high settings.cant play DOOM3 in high settings but ya low to medium.

looking at the configs posted, my PC might match to be a slightly-above average PC for gaming, but I ain't got no gfx card yet, so I don't consider my PC as that gr8 of a deal for gamez. but hell, it's powerful for vdo/audio rendering n' stuffz. Let's not mention what it does to wordprocessors n' browserZ......
