Intel 2.6 dual-core.
3 gig RAM.
500 gig HD.
ATI Radeon x2900.

The x2900 came w/ STALKER and Valve Black Box (HL2: Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat 2).

STALKER looks beautiful, kind of annoying to play it in English though (since obviously I'd prefer Russian).

Wowa-wiwa!

you forgot to brag about the most important thing. what kind of optical drive do you have?

That's the most important thing? I think I use mine once every few months.

just kidding. remember when you would list it 'cause it kinda did matter?

Ah. Good one

And yeah, I recall spending over $100 on a DVD writer.

That processor is just a smidge better then mine.
Nice video card though.
Can't wait till i can get an 8800GT

I remember thinking I got a STEAL for one for 80.

You got 3GB RAM instead of getting a decent video card?

Ditto...but on a CDRW..

The 2900XT is more than decent...it doesn't quite compete with the 8800GT/S/X, but it's a damn good card nonetheless.

Maybe he's an ATI fanboy *shrug*

Why 3?
Why not go straight for 4?

Heh, yeah, pretty sure my first CD writer was over $200, though I wasn't the one who paid for it.

Of course, those were the days when you could charge people $5 for a mix CD (mind you, it took hours to make because of 56k connections, and blank CDs cost like $2).
