Just bought a new rig
« on: May 01, 2012, 04:35:59 AM »
Yeah, just some Gateway thinger I took a liking to whilst perusing Future-sho[t] yesterday. Here's the $800 specs:

Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.4GHz
8GB DDR3 (I assume 1333)
2TB hard drive (Assuming probably Western Digital, 7200 RPM)
2GB AMD Radeon HD 6670

...Discuss? Idk, I'm just sayin'. Kinda neat...

Lucky you. I'm too broke to update. :(
My money goes to crap like food and bills.

Some of this awesomeness hinges on the Motherboard ya got.... so what is it?
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Not too bad Aeries!

The 2600 is a very fast processor. You have a good size hard drive, the only thing is that with that powerful of a processor, your video card is a good one... but not a great one. Still, overall, excellent specs make for a fast system.
