I know how you feel! After watching everyone race ahead the last 5 years and do upgrades that my old second hand computer (over 10 years old!) would never be able to do in a month of blue moons, it's nice to ride the crest of the wave for a change!
Now I just have to get SH3 and SH4 going! Could be a long night! |

If I may suggest getting other newer games that you actually really like to put it into good use? SH3 and SH4 won't showcase the power that your PC now has.

No problem, it's easy to get wrong sometimes, which I have noticed recently in four words story ... and it may just be a slump from your side, but I hope to completely different results here, bottom time is not past ...... yet

Your PC specs bookworm kicks my computers ass, I brought mine over christmasl just the box minus the monitor/accessories, but it runs brilliantly. The company here I brought it off Coretech-broker been in the business for 26yrs and are mainly based on server technology. So the pc arrived as one huge server case that weights a ton plenty of room for future upgrades
Plays SH5 & Mass effect 2 with everything on high smooth as, . Only slight problem I had is the 9800GT/case fans were quite loud, found the settings in bios to turn the fans down to quiet mode it was set to Server in the bios so that quieten it a bit. Basics specs: Dual core @ 5.1ghz, 4gb Ram, 9800GT, 3 drives, COA windows XP pro - might upgrade to Win 7 later on |

Nice one Bookworm, you should be set for some good gaming years ahead. I just wish somebody had forgotten to give me a large amount of cash
Just wondering though, what was the spec of your old PC?
