What exactly are you using this for? A media center?

Ram should always be in pairs. 2x2GB is better then 1x4GB
Stock CPU cooling is enough. Given the rest, it doesn't seem like you are going to be overclocking.
Your PSU is undoubtedly over powered for your needs.

1. Don't care
2. Bought the cpu from ebay and didn't come with stock
3. From my old pc

TL;DR: Just a random low-spec laptop.


Relatively terrible, but it does its purpose for me so I don't really mind.

Kinda updated specs
CPU:Athlon X2 64 4200+
GPU: Zotac GT 630 2GB Synergy Edition (sounds powerful dont it? well it sucks)
RAM: 3.5GB
HDD: 250GB+80GB
OS: Windows 7 32bit
MOBO: still no clue
Mouse: Its kinda old ive used it so much the logo disappeared but i remember it saying velocity
Keyboard: Umm.. it says microsoft has a wrist rest and extra buttons like favourites sound zoom and calulator
Monitors: Left LG flatron 1280x1024 right i really dont know the size its smaller than my left i would say 1024x768 but thats to small

It's bad becuase it uses more power than the rest of the house combined

...No it doesn't.
It probably uses around 500w at most. (which even games won't take it to, probably hovers around 425w or so usually).

Computers use hardly any power compared to just about anything else in a house. Even a desktop running 24/7 normally makes up very little of your electricity usage. For example, my microwave is 1000 watts while my computer uses less than 500. We have two fridge/freezer combos and a full size freezer. Those account for far more energy used than even a few desktops.

Now, it gets different with those GPU farms haha!

Which nobody in their right mind ever does.

But the bitcoins man! Gotta have as many graphics cards as possible to maximize my cash flow!

I don't think we can even joke about that anymore, since it's honestly kind of pathetic if anyone is still using graphics cards to mine. A few days ago Micro Center was selling 2Gh/s USB ASICs for $15 each.

It's not bitcoins that they mine. They mine Litecoins, Dogecoins, ­coins, and more ­coins.

I find it hilarious how the company selling these is trying to sound professional while using comic sans and typing like a 12 year old.

I have a iMac.

Worst










Computer























EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote from Cliff_Racer

So, it couldnt have been to long before a topic like this would show up. I want you guys to tear me apart; tell me how terrible my computer is. I copy/pasted this from that XFire page.

Processor:
AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor 3200+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.0GHz
Memory:
1024MB RAM
Hard Drive:
80 GB
Video Card:
NVIDIA GeForce 6600
Sound Card:
SoundMAX HD Audio O

Post your specs too, if you want, then we all can join in the fun.

Ehh.. the HDD is good (Windows 7 could fit on there, only 16GB disk space recommended), 1GB RAM is good for basic tasks like browsing the internet (unless you have the old OS), not sure the video RAM on that but I'm saying it's good, high-definition audio is epic, and that's a nice CPU you got there!
But, it can't beat my rig:
??? = unknown
Graphics card:
1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 (found that in Hardware Resources - Conflicts/Sharing)
CPU:
3.80Ghz AMD FX-4300 4-Core "2 Cores, 4 Logical Processors according to System Information"
HDD:
500GB Hard Drive
Sound Card:
This is onboard.
RAM:
16GB
All that's powering this (the power supply voltage) is..
115/230 volts!

dou cpu : 2.00 Ghz
ram : 3 Gb DDR2
Video card (worst ever) : Intel chipset 965 express
Win : 7 Pro
storage space : 500 GB
IT SUCKS WITH 30 FPS WITH tiny render, using optifine with no animations

I have an HP EliteBook 6930p Notebook. It is great for surfing the internet and such, but not-so-great for playing games such as Minecraft. But, it will get me by until I get the money to build my own. Specifications:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53Ghz CPU

RAM: 2 GB of RAM

Video Card: Pretty sure it's some crappy Intel graphics...

Hard Drive: 139GB Local Disk

Battery is broken, getting a new one soon...it was refurbished so what should I expect...

I have optifine ultra on 1.7.9 and I get 25-40 fps on average. I get like 10 in bad situations though. I allocated 3gb too. Do you think I can squeeze better fps? My settings are all on the lowest...
