PC finally complete

Octavarium · 23 Mar 2006 at 09:53

I've finally finished my new machine so I'm interested in feedback on what I can expect once my graphics card arrives.

AMD 3800 X2
1 gig DDR (512 OCZ PC3200, 512 Generic ebay purchase!)
ASRock 939 Dual Series
Nvidia 7800GT XFX (in the post!!)

Seeing as I only run at a maximum 1024*768 resolution what performance can I expect from the system.

I play FPS' like BF2, CS:S, Far Cry etc.

One more thing... For an idea of what settings I had on most games before... I currently use this system with a Radeon 9600pro!!!!! :eek:

Play all on max!

+ the 3800's overclock well if your gonna overclock.

Start saving for 2gb of ram now, will make it even better
