Quake3World

Just spend €400 on a 6600GT, Audigy 2 ZS and logitech x530 5.1 speakers.

I would have thought that some day, I would stop upgrading my computer, but guess the nerd inside couldn't resist.

On the other hand, I'm gonna get my beemer chipped.

That will make me less of a nerd.

Just bought a DVD burner. So, yep still spending money on it.

upgrading is addicting to the gamer like plastic surgery is for old cali whores, isn't it?

nah...I just bought a new one. :icon32:

Nope I haven't spent a dime on a pc in years... I just don't have time to bother.

No upgrades since I bought a stick of 256mb ddr266 ram in September 2004 from some guy on a local board for $30 CAD, which was very good at that time.

I'll probably be replacing the power supply in the next few days. Not really an upgrade per se, but it needs to be done because my computer is homosexual.

Just got a LCD myself.

But my old monitor pretty much died.

Just recently bought a 6800 gt. Next step is to replace my 1.8 celeron and motherboard and get teo 512 stick of ram

I plan on upgrading my cpu soon. Have an Athlon 2200+ right now. Hell may just get a new mb and all that jazz.

bought a 20" dell lcd last year, and just recently bought a Radeon x800xt-pe. oh and due to a hdd failure, bought a new raptor. I'd say im done with upgrades for a while.

computers are like women, but more fun

-
new dvd burner
new 6800
new 1024 ram
new digicam
new mx510

now i'm considering 2 new 500gb HD's, unless it was a typo in the mag, only seen 400's so far from hitachi.

at least this bitch dont whine and does so much more :icon14:

yup, I'm always putting something in the computers, and then there's a bunch of computers at work to tinker with, too. The old Mac is frankensteined to the max, new PC can always use a new heatsink or fan or something. This weekend I am going to learn about lapping a heatsink. Fortunately components occasionally give out, giving me a real reason to put in something new.

160 GB external HD and a DVD burner and would like to add some more RAM too

Just a new dual 2.5 powermac and a x800 - unfortunately I make too much money and don't have a car, house, dependants or a shred of common sense. If I spent the same amount of time recording in a professional studio as I do songwriting/producing on the mac, it would come to the same cost pretty quickly.

need some new sound emmiting devices soon
and a new dvd burner

and i'll buy a notebook in about a month or two

A 6600 GT a few weeks ago. Strictly middle of the road stuff for me.

i just ordered a new computer all togeter, and will do so again soon

read a fun article btw, how a SLI config with two 6600GT's is both cheaper AND faster than 1 6800GT :icon14:

i bought a plextor dvdr about 4 months ago and some fans the other week, that's about it.

in Doom 3, but some applications SLI configs are slower than just using the one video card

I'll be getting a second HDD soon, and a quieter case fan. Other than that I don't need anything faster right now, I'll probably buy a whole new rig after the summer.

they benhced doom3, farcry 1.3 (3 dif maps) and HL2 (2 maps)

i suppose it only helps on apps that know they can use the SLI.. kinda like dualprocs

I read somewhere that you need a special driver profile for each game to take advantage of a SLI setup. So you'll really only get to use your SLI for new, well known games.

no i dont upgrade

i try and get something in addition to fast, so when it becomes slow, its still usefull for something

i havn't had the time or the money to spend on my pc since i got a 9800pro right before doom3 was released.
i havn't purchased a pc game my pc couldn't handle since its major overhaul a few years ago...
i don't nickel and dime my pc; just use it until it sucks, then relegate it to the server closet and buy all new swag.
