That's some nice hardware you be running with there.....but could you build me one of these....?
HD 3870 x 2 crossfire enabled - 1GB video RAM. 4GB DDR4 RAM. 3.06Ghz Dual core Extreme processor. It's a beast!! I got the extreme processor so I can overclock one day if I wanted to. But I haven't bothered yet. I need to scratch the Alienware BIOS and use a different one so I can get at the multipliers. But I'll leave it 12 months before I do that, don't want to void my warranty just yet. LOL
If i was doing a desktop, then I'd build it myself too for sure. But I didn't fancy building my own laptop. I take this bad boy with me everywhere I go. Whatever hotel I am in, in whatever country, I can play COD, watch movies, or make music. I'm a total windows 7 convert as well. But run all my music apps in XP (dual boot). Windows 7 has not proven it's audio capability to me yet and Vista totally sucked on all fronts, especially audio.
I actually started playing all games on consoles and thought PC gamers were sad geeks. Until I tried it. I just much preffered the controls and graphics, so I swtiched for FPS....anything else, I play on consoles. But FPS for me, has to be PC. Its down to personal preference and what you're used to though I guess.
Ok, off to snap some pics before lights out. Catch ya later mate.
