Scratch

Right now I am in the States and I bought me a lappie. ^^

For a CPU I've got an Intel Core i5 x4 @2.3GHz
6GB of RAMs :3
A 1696MB graphics card
~600GB HDD


I don't remember the exact specs of my home computer back in Russia, but it's something along the lines of this:

A Phenom II x4 which can hertz pretty well :3
8GB DDR3 RAM
A joke of a graphics card with 1GB memory, which is 3 years old and spends its time trying to beat the integrated motherboard one
1TB HDD

All of the parts are new and were bought this year, except for the graphics card, which I shall replace this summer. :3

And an amazingly cheap 40Mbps download connection.

Meh. :3

Hopefully not    That would mean you could store . . . a . . . picture for quick access.

EDIT: Anyways, why in the states?

Whoops, mixed that up. ^^ My bad. :-P

Oh, well, you know, just chilling, stuff like that. :3

You'll probably lolz at my best computer.

Computer Build Date May 2009 (27 Months old)
Window Vista Basic (The best version, has never crashed or gotten a virus)
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+
2.00 GB RAM
4 GB Page File (Virtual RAM) this keeps the computer from running slow.
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 // Gaming graphics 799 MB Total available graphics memory (64mb dedicated built in to motherboard).
Primary hard disk 298GB
LAN adapter 1Gbps
WLAN adapter 54Mbps

Thats pretty good 

No not really. The inbuilt graphics cards has a windows score of 3. The best bit is the 1Gigabyte LAN adapter but my internet speed will never be that fast.

It's mostly better than mine :L

Really? In a laptop? Even most mid-range desktop cards don't have that much memory. What's the model?

Well, that's what the dxdiag told me. ^^

I have an ASUS U56E.

How peculiar. I just read up on it and apparently the integrated card just uses the computer's memory for storage, and doesn't have its own. Oh well, I don't need a good card anyways. :3

Yeah, all integrated graphics chips share with the system memory.

All I can find on that about yours is that it has Intel GMA integrated graphics with your standard UMA memory setup.    I wouldn't go by dxgiag though. According to that on my system, there's 2034MB dedicated to the integrated graphics, even though I know it's set to 256mb in the BIOS.

No idea.
Good enough for what I use it for.  (Mainly Scratch.)

Ooh, a spec topic! It should be interesting to see what everyone else here is running.

Mah specs:
Phenom II x4 945 @3.0 GHz
4GB DDR3 (soon to be 12GB) @1333 MHz 9-9-9-24 timing
Radeon HD 3300 IGP, 790GX chipset (HIS Radeon HD 6870 1GB discrete GPU once the parts I ordered come in)
WD Caviar Green 750GB HDD
ASUS M4A78T-E Mobo
Thermaltake TR2 430W PSU (Will be an Antec HCG-750 750W. Again, parts on the way from Newegg.)

Simplified, for the non-techies: 
Quad core processor @3 GHz
4GB RAM (soon to be 12GB)
Radeon HD 3300 integrated grahpics (Radeon HD 6870 once the parts I ordered come in)
750GB hard drive

Internet speed, based on speedtest.net:
22.32 mbps down
3.69 mbps up

woah man u got some serious things up there

Main Desktop
Intel® Core™ i7-965 Processor Extreme Edition
(8M Cache, 3.20 GHz, 6.40 GT/s Intel® QPI)
12 GIGS of DDR3 RAM
GeForce GTX 590
WD Velociraptor 300GIGS (i dont think i need much xD )
Running a Windows 7 Ultimate and Lucid Puppy 5.1
A Liquid Cooling system for this beast

That's a pretty nice system you've got there youself. An i7-965 Extreme and a GTX 590? I bet that thing screams.

Anyway, my parts finally came in, so my computer is all upgraded.    Here's a pic of the inside after all the new stuff was added: (Didn't think to take a before picture, unfortunately.)

It's messy; I know. That case is pretty cramped though considering what I have in there, and there's no way to route cables behind the motherboard tray.

that thing looks amazing and clean .... ^_^ your computer looks pretty :3 ..


talking about cables you should see my oldy x) ... looks like a web!!!

You think so? ^_^ Well, I suppose I've seen much worse. When you compare it to some peoples' rigs who have everything so neat you can barely tell there are cables there, you tend to feel a bit inadequate. As you can see, pretty much all the cables coming off the PSU are shoved in the extra space in my hard drive bay. I suppose it works, and based on my temps my ventilation is fine, so I'm not too worried.

Looks like an epic computer! I would take a picture like that, but there is not much to see inside a laptop, and they aren't exactly easy to open. 

My dad's computer looks epic though.

CPU: Core i7 870 (2.96 GHZ)(4 physical cores, 8 logical)
RAM: 8gb of DDR3 1333
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB GDDR5 (DX11 FTW)
HDD: 1.5TB 7200 RPM Seagate
PSU: 350 watts 
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Internet Download speed: 10 Mb/s
Internet Upload speed 1 Mb/s 
Monitor: 1920x1080
Speakers: Not sure, I always use my Sennheiser HD 201's    instead.


Other notes:
The specs are mainly good, with the exception of the PSU that came with the computer (shame on you, Dell!). This computer hasn't been modded at all. The graphics card can get really loud, but other than that, this system is very quiet, even when the i7 is maxed. (Yes, I maxed it with a 3D rendering program.) I like this computer, except for the PSU and the fact that this has no free PCI or PCIe slots.

I like it, especially when I run a program from a RamDisk.
