Looking for Gaming PC

[Steve]

I don't need anything fancy. I just want a PC to load GTR (best racing sim).

What do people have?

look into dell's XPS. very good systems and you can pretty much play anything your heart desires. (pron you name it)

Im sure i could build somethign a bit nicer, for about the same. I don't know as that i could put that same system together for much cheaper. Better yet, they build it, warrenty it, and will ship or you can pickup instore.

From what I know, I don't think he wants to spend that much on it.... It will just be used for one game...


I was going to say something last evening when you asked me about this but topics moved on. I do have a P4 system that would work, it's in Ft. Ripley right now, but I plan on bringing it down and going over it. I might want to get rid of it since I don't need 3 computers. It's a P4 1.6A clocked at 2.13, and it's got a Radeon 9600pro in it, should be able to play your game I would think. Wouldn't want too much for the rig, I'll be bringing it down this coming weekend.

For what he wants, im thinking something closer to atleast a 2.8 to play it effectivly.. I just know that on a xp 2600 with a radeon 9800 pro it didnt fare so well.

This would be a good computer to start with.

Care to elaborate? You've played GTR?

The game only requiers a 1.8 GHz to play, but they rec a 3.0. It requires 1GB of RAM, but recs 2GBs. What are the ill effects I will see by running min requirement hardware as opposed to the recommended hardware?

[Zinc]

Remember that GT2 just came out (and is only 20$ at BB) go look up those specs and work with them, since itsa fawking insane game.

those are the specs up above
