We have every console, we need a thread about the best way to play games, da pee cee.

Use this thread to discuss the best (and maybe worst) games for da pee cee.

Ask of your computer can run Crysis! Ask if your computer can run Half Life 2! Ask if your computer can run GTA4!

Discuss gaming builds, find out what GPU to buy, find out if your new processor sucks, get told that you can't stick a Core 2 Duo in an AM2+ board!

Find out what we think of the latest and greatest games for da pee cee!

Well, here's what I have at home:

CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz 3MB Cache 1333 Mhz FSB
MEM: 2GB PC6400
HDD: WD Raptor 10,000RPM 80GB
VID: VisionTek ATI HD 4850 512MB

Not crazy, but it's exactly what I need. :)

What OS is it running? If it's vista, you don't have a gaming rig at all, but running XP that thing would rape just about everything.

I have XP in my machine. I would only need more RAM if I had Vista. Vista really doesn't bog down the processor or video card to much. Anyway, what really defines a computer as a gaming rig anyway? According to ATI I have a gaming card:

QUOTE
Enthusiast
  • ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4870 Graphics
  • ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4860 Graphics
  • ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4850 Graphics
  • ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4830 Graphics
Performance
  • ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4600 Series Graphics
Mainstream
  • TI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4500 Series Graphics
Value
  1. ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4300 Series Graphics

According to Corsair I have a gaming power supply:
QUOTE
The Corsair HX620W/HX520W power supply is versatile and robust. Utilizing superior triple +12V power rails and a whisper quiet double ball-bearing 120mm fan, the HX620W/HX520W is ready for today’s most power hungry components.


I have a fast HDD, I have a fast CPU, and I have enough RAM. I can play crisis on high without a blip. I have a gaming rig. It's just not overkill. A.k.a. I didn't waste my money.
