Hi,

CPU:AMD Athlon64 3500+
RAM:1GB
hd:80GB
Graphics Card:ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB
Optical Drive:16x Sony DVD-ROM
PSU:400W
Cheers,ppp
yes it can. And probably do a reasonable job doing it.
Cheers. do you know lots about pc's?Quote:

That sounds pretty decent the video card might need an upgrade though but i dont know much about them as my ATI X700 i want to throw against the wall it runs so damn slow on many of todays great games. Mine is alot newer then yours but i dont know how good the 9600 is.
i can get aQuote:

Well First your card is ATI and that is just cruelty to computers, it atleast deserves an onboard adapter... Sorry im a nVidia fanboy...
Second the card will do basically what ever you want if its memory bandwidth is 128-bit or higher. That card looks like it is 128-bit but I wouldnt be suprised if its 64-bit, your processor and ram is good but unless you can find out who the manufacturer is all I can tell you is its 50/50 on if it will run newer games good or not...
Hey,
im choosing between these systems now
1GB RAM,
250GB HD,
Nvidea 7600GT,
DVD RW ,
a)w/better cooled case and P4 3.2Ghz
b)w/Norm Case and AMD Athlon 64 3700+
Cheers

There ya go Nvidia that card should run circles around that ATI card, now a few suggestions...
1. If your planning on gamming make sure that HD is fast usually the larger ones like 250GB are slow you want one at 7200 RPM and 8MB cache. Trust me your much better off going with the fast 100GB HD than the slow 250GB 5400 RPM 2MB Cache HD, look into it...
2. Your best off with two 512MB sticks of RAM than 1GB of RAM, If you have two then it will run the ram dual channel and you will get TWICE the bandwith from the RAM, its usually cheaper to buy 2 x 512 anyway and you get more performance.
3. Go with the Athlon 64, Cooling can always be cheaply added later and its much more faster and reliable than that P4. Remember its not too hard to add a fan or two or even buy another case a month later...
4. Make sure you get a Powersupply thats up to the challenge. If you go to cheap then it could blow or cause crashes, on the other hand if you go to expensive then thats wasted cash...
hey,
This is the HD 250GB 3Gb/s ALL I KNOW,
500W PSU , CASE HAS A 120mm fan on front
all the oithers
Processor: AMD64 Athlon 3700+ Socket-939 San Diego; Memory: 1.0GB DDR 400mhz; Hard Disk Drive: 250GB S-ATA2 3.0Gb/s 16MB buffer; Second Hard Disk Drive: None; Optical Drive: 16x DVD-ROM; Second Optical Drive: None; Graphics card: Nvidia 7600GT 256MB TV/DVI; Floppy Disk Drive: None; Operating System: None; Software: BullGuard Anti-Virus, Nero Suite, PowerDVD - FREE; Sound Card: Onboard Sound; Internet and Networking: Onboard 10/100 network card (Built-in); Monitor: None; Printer: None; Warranty: 3 Years Standard Warranty; Case: Gladiator (500W PSU)
WAIT !!!!!
THEYVE MADE A MISTAKJE ON ONE OF THE PC'S
ITS AN P4 3.2Ghz 640,
1GB ram
200GB
Thermaltake Suprano
BUT
theyve not added a price on 2X Nvidea 7900GTX (SLI)
do you think if i buy it thell charge me
Lol im sure they will charge you for the cards thats just too big of a chunk of change to let slip...
And yes that harddrive should be fast its SATA II, a pretty new technology and has a 16MB buffer...
The RAM is 1 x 1GB like I said 2 x 512MB is much better or you could go for 2 x 1GB, The thing is the two sticks have to be IDENTICAL (Same Manufacturer, same model) to run dual channel. The chances of buying an Identical stick later is small, so you best off getting 2 identical now, and Later if the motherboard allows add another 2 later, getting dual channel ram isnt a huge performance gain but its nice to have...
That 500w power supply is plenty enough for anything you have and will add later...

Comments welcome
539POUND!
A rig with two 7900GTX (AKA Fastest cards on the planet) in SLi for £540 is pretty damn good.
You won't be getting the most out of them however, as you're probably getting a bottleneck with the CPU. A little overclocking should fix that.
Nice....
Do I detect a bit of jealousy?Quote:
