I have a lightning fast Pentium 4 Extreme Edition which blew anything else out of the water when I first got it.

Now it has been (slightly) overtaken by Intel Dual and Quad Cores, but it still does the job nicely.

Next to that, 2 GB RAM, a 7.1 Soundblaster and an NVidia 8800 with 1GB memory.

It is all packed in a neat and very silent Shuttle system, so not bulky and noisy.

Yeah, that's my toy!

I've just had a new base unit and moved from a 3.06Ghz single core to a 3.0Ghz E8400 dual core with a GeForce NVidia 8800GT. I still leave shadows and reflections off but everything else is on high, including water, and the FPS keeps up with what the game is trying to deliver. Only thing was that I botched up some of my archiving and will have to start from scratch with my WOE install. Never mind, it's all good fun!

Well my old machine is 1.7 single core 512 DDR1 RAM with 64 MB VGA card , I get a smooth ride when everything is on LOW graphical effects :blush: , I lately bought the new WOI (this game is a big wow :clapping: ) and its runing well, on low graphics offcourse loool.

I wanted to overclock the Damn VGA card but I dont know how, BTW my machine is Dell inspiron 8600, anyone knows how to overclock it :dntknw: ??

Pentium 4 3.2Ghz, Nortwood Core - in use since March 2004

2GB DDR-400 RAM

Ati Radeon HD3850 512MB AGP-card

Asus P4C800

 

Ram upgraded, also two video card upgrades (Ati Radeon 9800Pro, GeForce 6800Ultra). Still more than sufficient for all games of the Thirdwire series.

Core 2 Duo 2.4 @ 2.9

4GB RAM on XP x64

GeForce 8800 GTS

 

(Can you say, "scalded cat"?)

 

No but i can say ****&* lool

Currently single core Turion 64 2.0 GHz, 1 Gig RAM, Radeon Express 120 bit

I wonder, is it feasible to replace a single core with a double core without replacing the motherboard?

AMD Dual Core

Thing is blisteringly fast.

I researched and hand picked the components, myself.

I made a damned good choice on the motherboard.

She has a dual core in her, now.

She's capable of taking a quad core, if I chose.

 

complete specs are below.

As long as the motherboard supports, I'd say it would be worthwhile. Go to 2 gig RAM first tho...cheap these days.
