Hey, bought a new computer for my birthday and I have switched from Mac OS X 10.4 to Vista SP1. The specs on this computer are far better than the specs on my mac. Vista looks delicious but so does Mac OS X so no change there :D.

Anyway; Since my computer pretty much owns WoW now there are a few quests like getting mana cells wearing those glasses from ethereals which I couldn't do on my mac which I will be able to do on this computer, also (mainly to dan) I wasn't on yesterday, today and (POSSIBLY) not tomorrow because I am now downloading everything.

As you can see I'm not telling any porkies. Quad core at 2.2GHz per core, 4GB of Ram, 500GB Hardrive, Nvidia GeFore 8400 GS 256MB.

Yes I guess I am probably seeming to be a bit of a 'show-off' ***** here but I'm still excited you could say and also it might be a chance for people to show their computers off. I am guessing from what I have seen from WoW on this computer I get 50FPS+ What does everyone else get?

Gimme your new PC, i'm having to fork out for a new one myself as my fps keeps crashing on WoW, going to 1 or 2fps and that is NOT what I want in raids. I had to pull out of Hyjal tonight because of it and well, it suckss (and the pc i'm on atm is ****)

Last time I checked I was getting stupidly high frame rates after I bought my new computer. Haven't been on in ages now.

On my mac I had an integrated intel 64mb graphics card, now its 256 mb and it is not integrated (yay) and it looks good so I don't know why it only got 3.7 for aero, but 4.6 for gaming :P 5.9 (top rating afaik) for everything else. Yours?

Nothing* ;)

And I was trying to say (But perhaps failed) was that I am NOT trying to show off. Simply sharing and comparing with other people. :)

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to add... I have the biggest monitor I have ever had lmao, its 22" and well... massive!

Can easily get bigger than 22" monitors >_> 24" 26" etc is popular now..

Thanks ;)
BTW log on more often, how am I supposed to boost you 4 free through DM when you aren't on? :P

And Galaxay, 8400 is decent enough for me, WoW, and most of the games on Vista so far.

Charly sir, it will arrive in 5 years time after significant useage, aging and becoming completely insignificant compared to the average computer in that time :8

Kieran
09-05-2008, 10:44 PM
Oh yeh, RAM. Thats 5.9 aswell =)

Shame about the Processor pulling the rating down even though it was like the best AMD processor before the Quads came.

Galaxay
10-05-2008, 07:20 AM
Cause intel pwns AMD.

I knew you would eventually come and say that...

Intel (I would say) ARE better but not hugely so. I would say AMD are better core for core.

Galaxay
10-05-2008, 08:31 AM
Then you'd be wrong.

Intel is known to be the best for speed etc.

But AMD is known to be cheapest, AMD is mostly purchased on budget builds.

Intel is alot better to overclock aswell making it even better than AMD :)

I did say intel was better, but an AMD dual core is more like two processors (The whole idea of dual core) than an intel dual core. How this is a benefit thouhg I have yet to find :P

Galaxay
10-05-2008, 09:51 AM
What are you on about? :S

AMD does dual core, as does intel.

AMD does quad core (badly), as does intel.

Mines a year old laptop so wont even compare, but I'll write the specs that it says on the sticker on the laptop, most of which means nothing to me.
Intel Core Duo T7100 1.8 GHz
15.4 TFT WXGA (1200x800)
1024MB DDRII Ram
Intel 965GM (crestline) + ICH9-M with up to 128MB shared memory
Supports Intel GAMX3100
120GB HDD SATA
DVD+/-RW DL
Intel Pro Wireless 4965agn

Then on the sticker on the other side it says,
3xUSB 2.0
1x Firewire
TV out (s video)
VGA - out
Headphones - out, mic-in
4-in 1 cardreader
10/100 mbit LAn
56k modem v.90

It's an advent one from PC world, cost £650 a year ago. Does everything I want it to, so can't complain. God knows about my PC though, I haven't turned it on since I bought this laptop, I just use it to run the wireless broadband modem.

Oh yeah, it has vista home premium and the rating is 2.6.
4.8 for processor, 4.5 for memory, 2.6 for graphics, 3.1 for for gaming graphics and 4.5 for primary hard disk

Don't lag much in WoW, 'cept for major cities on weekends.

I really have to get a better processor lol, I bought a better graphics card not too long ago but my processor can barely handle it lmao. I still lag a bit in major cities (a lot in weekends) but not nearly as much as I used to. Getting frame rates of 50-70, sometimes even 80. 20-30 in major cities but with 1's every 10 seconds. :P

Bailey
12-05-2008, 06:44 AM
I is jealous will, i max about 20 fps when im not in major cities :-(

Still i'm getting a new laptop this month

Do you have the brain of a dead dog or do I just need to explain in the simplest form I can?

Me saying I'm addicted to it means I love the game, doesn't mean I sit on it for hours on end which is what you do with Habbo and HabboxForum. Now go outside and get your pale white skin a tan.

I've had upto 350 frames per second outside in Outlands.

The only problem is, Blizzard messed up how the GTX 8800 works with WoW recently, and that's dropped from 350 to 120ish outside, and 30-50 during raids.

Still waiting for them to fix it - Want to raid in more than just 30 FPS with the 2nd best GFX card on the market, please.
