Forum Overview :: American McGee's Honda Civic :: BUILD MY NEW COMPUTER (Fussbett Edition)

[quote name="Fussbett"]Always a popular thread idea, we all talk about what compontents would make a good new gaming computer. I'm starting with a Radeon X800 PRO 256 PCI-E, so work outwards from there. I'm sure other people will benefit from this discussion, what with all the Christmas money floating around, and besides, don't you want to see me post about a PC game that <i>isn't</i> BF2*? I have FEAR, CoD2, Black and White 2, Dungeon Siege 2 and Fable all waiting to be posted ABOUT. We all win when I play new games (unlike Jhoh's WoW adventure, which has cloistered an already sheltered man inside a secondary gayer shelter). So! Ray of Light says to go with the dualcore CPU because the 64 bits of the Athlon64 is never taken advantage of... <i>and he owns an Athlon64!</i> Is he full of shit? Tell him to his face if so! And should I care about the 2 meg cache versus the 1 meg? Is RAM still directly linked to the motherboard speed? <font size=1>* My new joystick makes me an awesome dogfighter, and rejunvenated my BF2 love yet again.</font> [/quote]
