yeah everyone doesnt own an i5 or i7 not everyones rich.pentium IV's ARE good,you just gotta mess around with the settings until you find one perfect.like me with my core2Duo for example.i can run minecraft maxed no problem with faithful32x texture pack

The Pentium 4's are awful nowadays. If you want to go cheap you will get much better performance out of a cheap APU or one of the Sandy Bridge Pentiums or Celerons. There is really no reason to get outdated hardware when there are already really cheap options out there.

And some people put 8 gbytes of ram,you're just wasting your money.You need only 4gbytes nowadays.

ha. i can easily use more then 4gb

Quote from kikokralj012

You're wrong.Pentium IV can handle more RAM.I upgraded to 3Gbytes of ram,now games can work faster on windows 7.It's actually 4 gbytes but 32bit systems don't support 4gbytes of ram.I guess i'll have to install a 64bit system.But i won't,i'm okay with 3gbytes of ram.

and i can lob 128GB onto a pentium, doens't mean it'll all be used before the system chokes because the processor is constantly maxed

My computer is a thinkpad (Ugh..)
- 4 gb ram
- 32 bit operating system (Only 3 gb ram is usable, Thanks for not thinking about the customer, Lenovo,
- Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 2 GHz
- Don't know anything about graphics card (Must suck because I can only play games at up to 25 fps
This might seem good to some of you, but it really sucks. My Xbox 360 is way better.

- CPU: Intel Core i5 @ 2.67GHz (quad core/4 cores)
- HDD: 2x internal HDD (both 500GB)
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 210, 4GB (somewhat crappy)
- Monitor: HP71, 1024x768px @ 85Hz (the most crappy, ugly, low-res, slow, crashing monitor I have ever seen)
- System: Acer Aspire M5810
- OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (6.1, build 7601)

On the lowest settings, I can run Minecraft on an average of about 200 fps, sometimes up to 680 fps, highest settings about 160-170 fps.

Not much trouble or lag at all with games. The computer boots in about 5-10 seconds.

Also an advice: do not buy a new, overpriced PC. Buy a second-hand model. I did so too, cost me about €350 (~$460).

"somewhat"

CPU: AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core
Motherboard: Biostar A960G+
16 GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM for Backup server controller and VM Management
GPU: A Zotac GT 440 2GB, Going to get a 650 Ti soon.
2 500 GB Seagate HDDs @ 7200 RPM in RAID 1
Power Supply: A PC Power and Cooling 750W PSU

Some upgrades are coming to this computer. Although i got a CPU upgrade from a AMD Athlon X2 4400+, I had to stay with the same GPU and will be buying another one soon.

I guess your computer can't handle quantum tunneling.

My old computer was exceptionally terrible:
Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.66GHz
1GB DDR
Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV integrated graphics
75GB WDC
Windows XP SP3 32-bit
no-name 250W PSU

Current PC:
AMD FX-6120 @ 4.2GHz
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
10GB DDR3-1600
Gigabyte Radeon 7950 3GB
1TB Seagate Barracuda
Windows 8 64-bit
Corsair CX600

My current rig:

OS: Windows 7 x64 sp1
CPU: AMD FX 8350 Vishera 8 core @ 4.0Ghz (4.2 turbo) am3+
Cooling: Corsair H100 closed loop liquid cooling with high flow 120mm fans.
M.Board: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+
GPU: 2x ASUS Radeon HD 6870 1gb gddr5
Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 1866mhz
HDD: WD 2tb for games and Windows, WD 500Gb for project storage.
PSU: 750w generic psu.
Case: MYOPENPC Transparent Acrylic Open Test Bench Case (for awesome air flow.)
Monitor: 1: ASUS VG236 1920x1080 @120hz, 2: Planar PX2230MW (touchscreen) 1920x1080 @60hz

Its overkill for gaming but I use it for video/photo editing and 3d modeling so the extra muscle/memory comes in handy. Runs skyrim at 120fps on ultra settings, so I have no reason to upgrade for a while.

First, why do you have so many builds? Second, why in the world would you put a 2600k on an H67 mobo and then put an i3 on a Z77 mobo? I'm also confused as to why you went with four 2GB sticks on the i3 build rather than get two 4GB sticks since it uses a dual-channel configuration...

Quote from Christoi

Just curious, but why do you have so many? Especially since all of them are pretty recent...

I think he does that for a living, I remember him asking for a 15k AUS dollar build for a customer or something.
