well for instance, i did a test on mine. i was playing music (that was ripped on my HDD), wile surfing the net, burning a "backup" movie HEEHEE, while running a stress test ( prime 95) which basically puts a 100% load on all 4 cores of my processor, w/out even bogging it FYI.at the same time.which most people won't do anyways. but i can play a full blown game @ high settings while scanning w/my anti virus. FYI also.
thats the difference w/a medium/high end PC.
but that what you can do w/a terra giggle LOL ;D

nothin wrong with getting the AGP card. It is the cheapest way to upgrade video. You will notice a diff  But with the overhead of RAM and Grapics RAM available.......That's considered resource. Vista Ult 64 actually runs smoother with 8 gigs of RAM then with 4. And if you are running the older system...anything you invest into the vid card is gona free up more resource for your processor to work. I should mention that the computer above has a 2.7 Ghz quad intel (4 Core) The computer I took a pic of is only going for 600.00 as it sits with no screen/keyboard/mouse. Just the tower as you see it. |

Tiger ain't doin so well...since the knee thing and the baby. I would still love to get paid what he does for doing what he does. Could you imagine the Heli-Fleet?   ;D |

Honestly,it was Tiger 06 on PS2.lol....Since they changed to the new type putting I suck.
I still prefer to just hole it from the fairway but when I putt it's at least two put:(

Just the tower as you see it. but my ? is. is AGP anygood w/todays grafix standards? just askin. but it looks like (judging from the sim comparison chart) pheonix & tiger woods have about the same system requirements. @ mc, i kind of like the new putting style.LOL anybody would perfer to hole it from the fairway ;D EAGLE |

My PC is oooooollllllldddd.It's an E6100 Gateway.Has a single core Pentium.It has 1G of RAM now but I found a deal on 1G sticks for $40 each and may get two.That would be 2.5G of RAM. I'm waiting to see how the GeForce card works alone first though. I was serious when I said it will be used for nothing else but the sim and maybe Tiger Woods. So I just want a marginally better pic at best |

By the way...9800x2 is a gig or RAM memory...not a tera ;D(darn good drugs in the hospital)
Mc...if you were to get an advanced system you will never look back and you'll thank yourself for not "just getting by". Todays cards have so much more tech installed in them that they will cost a little more than the AGP, but pack a hell of alot more punch. Hooking up to you 52 is gona be the example. The picture you'll get, some what better, but still marginal with the AGP as compaired to a full blown Phys-x GForce card x2 (SLI) it the difference of nite and day. I have three 265's in Tri-SLI configuration. There isn't any combination, up to a movie screen, that I couldn't run and obtain HD. Just the diff in what they are producing now as compaired to the tech at the time of AGP graphics cards.......a big canyon. (don't forget just the interface alone went from minor bandwith to major bandwith from AGP to Exspress PCI PCI-E)
I would still love just to have the royaltys of his EA franchise. (tiger)
Now....Fergie. I didn't forget about you. Programs design for this day have very lucrative resource usage and have resource speed to match most high end games. Compair the modern day game of WoW to the original when it was first put out. Thats why they specify on the box: System Requirements. The original game required 512Mb minimume. Today it's like 1546 or something Mbs. And in most cases, the graphics has to have at least 512Mb on card just to load the game. Compair system requirements between Tiger 08 and Tiger 06. You'll be shocked.

37 is an awesome score, nice job. but in my opinion the ideal system for todays standards~ at least a duel core CPU (a high end intel maybe a E8400 or 8500): 4GIGs ram. and at least a 8800~9800 GTX vid card (PCI-E slot) it might sacrifice some heli parts at first, but overall the PC is a very good tool when it comes to heli's also.
i'm just keepin it real here, but i would go quad core CPU myself, IMO,and not bad on the pocketbook ether

i just actually built a pc for a friend w/specs:
mother board: EVGA 750i (very good)
CPU: intel E8400 duel core (very overclockable BTW)
RAM: OCZ 800Mhz 2GIGs ram
GPU: EVGA 9800GT (PCI-E) very good card
seagate 500 GIG HDD
PSU: OCZ 700W (very good also)
case termaltake armor mid tower
i got these parts for $650.00
FYI, and it tears through VISTA

WOW is not a game to base anything off of, as they even after the upgrades have the game set to run on what is concidered the low end systems out in the world currently. that is one reason for the mass of players world wide, its cause so many can play it with old POS PC's.
as for the whole tiger woods thing, may i give a bit of advice, if your going to play a video golf game, at least play it on the wii, much harder and more realistic, Tiger 08 on the Wii actually made my arm sore after the first 9 holes lol....
games like that on the WII are so much more fun and challenging then on a PC, PS, XBOX or so on. To me action or sports games like baseball, tennis, boxing, golf all should only be played on the wii they are so much more fun, and better for your heart lol

Fergie's right on the top of this. Thats all you need unless you are a serious overclocker. And no mc, you shouldn't spent more than 650 for a build. This alone will saw thru apps and games and sims like it was second nature. A couple of 8800GT's in SLI with a 780i MB (personally like xfx momma boards) and 4 gigs of RAM (but with prices today 8 is safer, but your cpu and os better be 64bit or it will only recognize 3.216 total RAM out of 4.) Thats because 32bit uses the 1st up RAM for video apps. I store alot of pics. Right now I have one hd full of pics. (250 gig) I also run Ulitimate, PSP, PS-4 w/add-ons, and COD 4 with two printers, a HP and a Canon for photo work. Two of my hds are backup (mirrow) for the other two. Also have a seagate 500 external which backs up my lappy, my gamer and my business machine.
Also mac, have a 2008 circa Dell Inspiron 530 desktop with 250 hd, 4 gigs of RAM and a dual core Intel. Thro in an 8600GX or a visiontech Radeon HD 2400 Pro vid card and keyboard and mouse, running Vista Home 32bit. All of that for 350.00. The Radeon Card has HDMI
