What computers do the average users have for Guildwars?

Reading another post it occured to me that no ones looked at what type of PC power people have. Hee hee I run a modest:

Intel 2.4ghz HT with a ABIT IC7-G
512megs DDR
Asylam Geforce FX Ultra 5600
Lite-On DVDr
TDK CD-RW
Sound Blaster Audigy
with a CPU temp of 85 degrees (It's an induction fan runs about 5600rpms free floating)

The other comp that plays GW is:

512megs DDR
Geforce 3 64megs
Lite-On DVDr
Philips CD-RW

This is one of 7.

AMD 1.8ish gigs
600MB SD RAM
ATI 9000 PRO (128 DX1.8)

Enough said, runs GW fine on high with 2x anti alias

Scaper-X

Yeah, I have to agree that is pretty impressive. Now if you built this yourself I'd bow down to your greatness Humble... But, I build my own comps myself. I like the hands on....

Hands on rocks. Its fun, and cheaper. Oh, I have got 5.1 Logitech speakers as well. Like Z-530 or something.

MX1000 is wireless so IT SUCKS. Never use wireless mouses for gaming, they lag and they're too heavy.
Best mouse is Razor Diamondback. 2nd best is Logitech MX 510.
And get a good mousepad for optical mouses.

I loathe you Scapes.

Here's my wonderous machine:
HP Pavilion a300n
2.6 GHz Celeron processor
512 MB RAM
Intel Extreme Graphics (factory card)
Realtek AC'97 Audio (whatever that is)
40 GB hard drive
Samsung 48x CD-R/RW Burner
Altec Lansing speakers
Factory Case

Yeah.... it sucks But it was free, since I was lucky enough to get this one working again after it seemingly crashed for good, so I'm fine with it, for now.

Lol..maybe try the Mx1000 first, THEN repost when you are humbled.

Why in the world would you overclock your PCI and AGP ports? You do know that's not the best thing in the world to do, and that most upper-end motherboards even have a feature that locks it in at the correct frequency to prevent problems, right?

I agree with this man.

AMD users unite!

- Iczer

I am really surprised by the number of Intel users in this post. I thought AMD had a much better market share than that, atleast amongst gamers. But then again, it does look like most of the people in this thread bought their PCs instead of building them, so that may explain it.

-Virt

meh...rich wh0res

heres my gheTTo PC:

`Dell 2400 PC (Semi-KustomiZeD)
`Intel P4 2.48Ghz
`Windows XP Home
`1024 MB RaM DDR3
`40GB HD
`Geforce FX5200 128mB <PCI>
`Sound Audigy Live! 24 bit
`Some bootleg Logitech mouse
`Dell 2400 Keyboard
`Some mouse pad i bought off ebay for 35 cents
`21 inch Dell Ultra sharp flat screen

STUPID　DELL 2400!! ONLY　LEFT　ME　A　PCI　SLOT! DAMN　IT!

Not rich, just smart. If you would have built our own computer instead of buying a Dell you'd probably have a better PC than most of us.

-Virt

Yours is probably the best. It cost you no $$$$$$$$$$.
You got the best bang for your $$$$$$$$$.

Yea, throw a cheap Radeon 9250 PCI in there and you're set.

-Virt

Ha I got you all beat.

Nearly 4 years old and still a kickin.Of course new comp is in the near future.I've been waiting till prices and tech became a lil more stable.Getting the best out there and spending top dollar only to have new tech at better prices 5 months down the road doesn't appeal to me
