Some of you may have read my retirement notice about a week ago. Well the good news is that I am not retiring. Negotiations resumed between me and Dad (with a little help from Mum, who said things like "Ever since he has had BF2 he has done very well in school", and things like that), and we agreed on a less expensive system. That turned out to have a more powerful processor. But thats not the point. i am getting, in two days:

AMD Athlon 3800+
2Gb of DDR400 RAM
Asus A8N SLI Motherboard
Radeon X800GT
120 Gb WD 7200 Rpm Sata HDD

Now that thats over can someone please tell me what settings I am looking at ingame, bearing in mind that the X800GT is the X800's  little poverty stricken brother card, and has these specs:

X800 GT

    * Core Clock: 475 MHz
    * Memory Clock: 980 MHz
    * Pixel pipelines: 8
    * Vertex Processors: 6
    * Memory: 256MB of GDDR3 memory on a 256-bit interface.

I hope to be pwning (is that in context there?) you all sometime in the future! (more like being pwned, but I can hope)

PS. I had to skimp on the case and get a plain one, but that allows me to use Han Solo esque lines such as: "She dont look like much kid, but she's got it where it counts"

What the Hell!? Are you joking!? Your parents gave you a new fucking computer to play GAMES!!?? Un-Fucking-Believable!! Here I am with a computer that lags when I type, asking my folks for the love of sanity to buy a new one!! Hell, I'm not even picky, I'll go for one that simply runs for over five minutes without freezing!!

You're complaining about a case?? Who cares about a case!? You have 2Mb of DDR400 RAM, whatever the fuck that is, but I know it's a shit-load better than my 128MB of normal RAM!! Hell, I fucking doubt if you can even buy that for under $5,000 NZ here, and your parents are just giving you this for what? FOR WHAT!!??
You know how long I'd have to save up to be able to have a chance of buying that!? One fucking year!! That's a year working part time for at least fifteen hours a week meanwhile spending absoloutly nothing!! For a year!!

Fuck this. The world sucks. I'm going to bed.


Edit: Oh, and congrats on the new system I guess. No offence meant, I'm just bitter.

Why do you buy a SLI- motherboard when you get a X800GT, Ever heard of "crossfire"?
Or buy a 7800GT or an older 6800GT, they're more better and supports SLI

what brand is the ram?  and you should get medium settings pretty easily.  id say medium + 4xAA.  and to those that think otherwise, the case does matter.

I dislike the fact that you think I was "given" this system. I had tio empty out the bank account that I have been putting birthday money into for over a decade for this system. I was not complaining about the case either mate. Im not sure what the conversion rate between Australian dollars and New Zealand Dollars is buddy but for 500 Australian you could get an absolute top of the line system. This one cost me $1300.

I will tell my parents that I love them. Every day of the week. ut i do not like the thought that people think that I just get this system with no consequences.

I think its Hyundai/Hynix RAM. Its not that top of the line stuff like Kingston or Corsair

That's a very good system you're getting Sharky and I would love to have it. The only thing I would suggest is going for a Geforce 6800GS for your graphics card. It's an awesome card for the price and it's got support for shader model 3.  I saw a review for a a certain game (I don't remember which one, something with pirate ships) and the difference between shader model 2 and 3 was very noticable. The ATI card you have chosen is a good card for the price but IMO the best buy out there now is the 6800GS. You will do great with either card but the nvidia one is a bit more futureproof.
