The Ultimate gaming machine....
I'm upgrading part of my system this week to the ultimate altar of pure BF2 geekdom. And yes, as this person has no life these days, then may I waive all rites to everything else in life but to one thing, and one thing only:
Bask in the envy of all other BF2'ers, for wo to thee who will come across me on the battlefield after this. Yes, you can flame if you will, but it will...not... matter. For indeed, I will look like that guy in the old Memorex commercials when he turns on the stereo, hair blown back, when I turn this computer on. I currently don't get calls from NASA when their computer's down, asking to borrow mine!! Yet now...it will now be so......
(Forgive me, but I'm in Houston/Galveston waiting out this stupid hurricane Rita, so I've been stranded in the house for five days with cabin fever...and still there!!)
Here it is (on a u-shaped video editing desk):
CENTER of U:
Intel Pentium Extreme Edition Dual Core Processor with HT Technology (800MHz FSB, 2MB cache), overclocked in the BIOS to 3.40GHz and 3.60GHz
The NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI X16 MCP with two full-bandwidth 16-lane PCI-Express support for multi-GPUs
Dual Nvidia 7800 graphics cards
2GB Dual channel DDR2-667MHz SDRAM
10,000 RPM Scuzzy harddrive seperate from the original drive.
This is strapped to triple 19" flat screen monitors.
Surround sound bose speakers.
The BIOS, the RAM chipchipsets, as well as the video cards themselves will be overclocked to max past normal temp.
Two 500W power supplies
Because it will run so hot, I'll have a Vapor chill II box, with the 6" wide hose cut directly into the side of the case, chilling it via an internal liquid chill system along will dual oversized fans as back-up.
RIGHT SIDE OF U:
It's networked to a second PC with triple monitors with 1.5 Terabytes of harddrive with windows media edition which is hooked to a 60" flat screen TV for instant playing of over 1000 movies
LEFT SIDE OF U:
It's also networked to two (each) Apple G5 dual processors computers with each having 8 GIG RAM (yeah, you heard it), this hooked to a rack-mount 1.5 terabyte Raid hard drive with 2 gig optical dual channel I/O, with 512 cache. The apples sport dual 23" HD cinema screens.
Well, I'll be able to report to you guys when this last part is complete what the benchmark will be. It's gotta be kickass.
By the way, if you noticed your house lights flickered, that was me rebooting....ouch. LOL

). I was under the impression that it maxes out at 2 GIG. Even if it doesn't, the extra two GIG of RAM will not improve the performance that much. The bottleneck right now is in the BUS and Video card capacities. A good example is that I've got an old Nvideo 5950 card, with 2 GIG of RAM on a 3GH processor and the Scuzzy 10,000 drive. Pretty fast computer, right? When I checked on 3D Mark, my computer tested at 5 frames per second (which is extreme slow motion) with a score of 1350 (between 1-10,000)...not good.
