New Computer.....? - Page 2

Well The computer will help me out with school, games and movies. But thoes are all things that i can do with my current computer (but i cant play PS) with my current computer. On the other side a bike is a very fun thing to drive and it would defently be a eye catcher over my Ford Escort Wagon.

Raven get the bike. You can build a computer to play PS for $600-800. No need to spend $2800 on a computer. Anyway, have you played PS? Games come and go....Motorcycles last forever!

Well hell, if you're in NY and pass then you're allright (I live in NY also). And yes, I am a parent and have seen too much stupid crap in my lifetime...lost a few friends on their bikes. And since you're from NY you know the gracious use of the word "moron".

Ya i have played PS before and i love it, but when i did play it was on a computer that just managed to run it 2.6 with 256ram. To get a computer that can run it smoothly you need atleat 3.0 and 2 gigs of ram. So therefore you need atleat 2000. But ya <Aimhere> im not going to be your typical motorhead spead demon. I want to live to see my 21st birthday, i found a cheaper bike then that Honda600F4i. Now I'm going towards the Yamaha R6 which would only cost me 5000. Then i could put the rest into body armor and a good helmet. So to relive you of your worries <aimhere> Im taking the 3 day saftey corse (to learn how to drive properly and to get my license) and ill most likely never go over 65 unless I'm on the highway then ill go 70 at most.

Ummm....you do not need 2gigs of ram to run this game smoothly. Also 3GHz is not needed as well. What I'm saying is that the bike will be around longer then the game. The R6 is a great bike but I love Honda and the new 600 is godly.

SecondRaven · 2003-09-20, 06:34 PM

Well two gigs and 3.0 is a little over kill but it would make sure that the game runs even in huge battles.

NoSurrender · 2003-09-20, 07:46 PM

dude thats overboard considering DDR2 and Althon 64 and shit coming out i wouldnt spend that much id say 1gig ram a nice processor a Intel 875 for p4 or a nforce 2 for amd and a good solid vid card

SecondRaven · 2003-09-20, 07:59 PM

True but i also have to think of the extras for the bike, Helmit (200-300) for a really good one heh i want to be safe, a good Leather Moto jacket, good leather moto pants (I'm not thilled about wearing leather pants) and boots and gloves. Im also going to get Knox body armor so if i do fall i wont get badly hurt. Oh oh and we cant forget the chassy lighting that my freind is going to put on the bike. So thats a 900 extra after the bike (just relized this but this has nothing to do with PS now) ohwell

damn u should work some overtime like Agent 1337 and OneManArmy cuz they workin 24/7

Raven,

The minimum computer you really need is one that runs at least 1.5 to 2.0Ghz and 1Gb of memory. A Radeon 9800 would suit you just fine for his game and the next gen games coming out. If you're interested, I can build one for you. You know me and I could spec one out for you. Give the word and it's done.

OneManArmy · 2003-09-21, 09:51 AM

die :P

Build you own computer it costs in lots of cases half that of a company build system, you can make a swwet one for 500. check or Ajump.com and zipzoomfly.com (formerly known as googlegear.com) , but do some reaserch first on tomshardware and other sites.

SecondRaven · 2003-09-21, 05:41 PM

Well i might take bob up on his offer....i do want new computer so i can play PS. But i have to have enough for the bike, that bike my ticket to hot girls. Heh they make that back seat on a bike for a reason ya know

Sentrosi · 2003-09-22, 07:54 AM

Post how much you want to spend. I'll try to come up with a nice system for the price.

SecondRaven · 2003-09-22, 10:08 AM

Ill go up to 800-1000
