Asus P5K
Intel Core2Quad 6600 2.4GHz
4GB Kingmax DDR2 1066 memory
Asus Nvidia GeForce 8600GT 256MB DDR3
2x 320GB Seagate SATA drives
1x Acer AL1951 19" LCD monitor
1x Samsung 932GW 19" LCD monitor
Windows VISTA Ultimate 64 bit

I prefer two screens instead of one big screen - more usable for me then I can open a program on its own screen eg Excel on the left with price list and Word on the right when typing quote. My wife play a DVD on the left screen while editing photo's on the right in Photoshop!

[twinscythe12332]

amen to that. I plan on getting a second 22" sometime (hopefully the same type exactly), because I miss being able to have a DVD going while chatting online.

chrismine: No I just keep it around. It was really a good little computer for its time. And the fact that is still working fine just adds to the faithful little piece of tech that it is. “I think it is smiling at me”

Well I cannot help but wonder how solitaire is running on it

Just playing... think you have a cool system.

[twinscythe12332]

I can see solitaire lagging on that for sure

[insulin]

Francois > I got the game that will probably lag your computer. Hellgate London. It is a terrible disappointing game. Try running it without out the 1.2 patch and see if it lags. You will have to play till you get to the bigger stages before you will see real lag. See if it lags on your system then we know that Hellgate’s code is just crap... if not I will have to upgrade. Think you will have a go at it?

[twinscythe12332]

oh, they have a serious memory leak in that game. I played if for a while on a rig that should have handled it no problems... after about 15 minutes, it just starts lagging. we're talking 3GB of ram, and 2 8600GTs in SLI...
