-4x 256mb PC3200 sticks of RAM
-ATI All in wonder 2006 (256mb memory, Radeon 9600 GPU, AGP 8x interface)
-60gb IDE HDD 5400 RPM
-120gb IDE HDD 7200 RPM with 8mb cache
-1 CD drive
-1 CD/RW DVD combo drive
-Asus socket 478 motherboard with 4 DDR, 1 AGP and 5 PCI slots

Pics don't work so well for me... :/

Though seems like you did prudy well. I built mine using some of my old computer parts.

-Intel Pentium 4 at 1.8 GHz, which I want to update soon.
-2x 512mb of RAM.
-Radeon 9250
-Asus P4P800 with 1 AGP and 5 PCI slots
-2 Hard Drives; One 40GB and one 120GB
-1 CD/DvD drive
-1 CD Drive whenever I feel like putting it in...
-Antec Sonata II Metal case. I LOVE it.
-420 watts if I recall

I had to buy the RAM, case, and motherboard to be able to upgrade my old computer, which was a Dell Dimension 2300.

Mine birthed from steve's dad's old dimension 8100. I was originally planned to upgrade the RAM, processor and video card in it, but after researching its processor socket and the type of RAM it used, I decided it would be far better to do a complete overhaul. I couldn't have been happier with the results.

My only question now is whether or not I should enable HT...

lol, I have a 518 aswell.
Supa, next time you see steve, tell him you have that keyboard. I think he will be getting one soon and he would probably appreciate a review.

Oh, and where did you get a lanbag? I have bee looking for something to carry my rig around...

P4 3.0 GHz
1 GB ram
was a 5200, then went up to a 5900 and then replaced that with a 6800 128mb

Hopefully next year I will be able to build my own PC, with near top of the line parts like a G80

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
