Post your computer specs!

My computer is crap- can't run much games at all, and i'm getting a new and better computer soon. So i don't feel the need to post my computer spec's, but if anyone asks i will.

How to find out your computer specs? use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool

or.........

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest

Just select a game and test it, to see if it will run on your computer. Then you'll find your computer specs.

OK, here are mine. This was when i was testing to see if i could run spore (i know i couldn't anyway) but i was curious to find out what they are.

Its a crap computer. I shall be very happy when i get a new one.

The 'dxdiag' command is much more convenient than that site.
And yes, I may just be saying that because it listed 'unknown' for all my specs.

It's about, IIRC, two years old now, and I'm in need of a new one.

...wait
What the balls?! Only 510mb RAM? It's supposed to be twice that much!
Hm. I guess one of my sticks must be blown. And it would explain why Spore keeps really slowing down as I play on. I better correct the in-game Memory setting.

IIRC, the GT series always had a few problems with games not working as well as they should on them.

Seems to work fine. Every now and then a particular game will repeatedly crash and you have to underclock the memory bus to get it to work. Although I think my card was overclocked at factory.

I'm really happy with all my specs except for my dang Intel video card. With the amount I spent on this computer, it needs to last me an additional 3 years (1 year old) until I graduate uni. Given that up until a year ago I was on a 400Mhz celeron, 256mb ram, and 4mb video card, I think I can handle being slightly out of date...

Don't bother. Gingerneck is actually a figment of a forumer's imagination, it doesn't have a nervous system of its own.

Hm. Windows has, for the third time so far, gone corrupted itself. I'm pretty sure now that it's a problem with the hard drive.

Edit: I've now done something that's either very risky or very stupid, or both, and decided to re-install Windows to the Backup drive rather than the main drive. Let's hope I don't regret it.

Edit again: Well, both versions of Windows are working now, but I don't know whether the first one had it's missing files replaced at installation of the second, or whether its taking the files from the second directly.

Edit: Wait, the Pentium Ds were only made for Desktops. Sorry Yauhui, but that computer's even worse than my soon-to-be-replaced Laptop. You should still be able to run most modern games at low though.

Yahui's computer is probably part of one of those commercial deals "for the whole family" that comes with a web cam to exchange photos with your friends all over the world. But he just needs one or two more sticks of RAM and perhaps upgrade his graphic card and he will be able to play anything on high.
