the price is gonna kill me, think of all the models, but then again i game a lot as well!
i was wondering what you folks were running through?
and the best NEW games i ahve all the best old ones!

Mine's an old laptop c. 2004. I have an Intel Pentium M 1.50 Ghz processor, ATI 9600 laptop configured video card, XP Pro SP2, 512 GB RAM, 40 GB hard drive (yea I know...), 17in monitor, a mid-level sound card, and depending on were my laptop is stationed, I rock a Logitech X240 2.1, or a X-540 5.1 set of speakers, plus my Logitech wireless gaming mouse. Its old, but I can run Call of Duty 2, Half-Life 2 and - barely - America's Army. My battery is so shot that I can't run it off AC power and even if I wanted to I couldn't because the right hinge joint is out of place, making opening and closing the screen a risk of the screen coming off altogether.

While most of it is beat and completely obsolete, it gets the job done, while still allowing me to play older classics like Starcraft, Red Alert, SWAT 4, and others. Soon as I graduate and get some of this Army money they've said to guarantee me, I'm buying something new, probably HP ideally with a quad core, and 3-4GB of ram, a mid-size hard drive and at least a GeForce 8600 to get me started. Eventually I'll upgrade the RAM, video card, and hard drive as needed.

nice good luck on your new rig!!

I play World of Warcraft on a Dell laptop, didn't buy it as a gaming rig, but I don't have any problems playing wirelessly around the house.

Most games the family play are on either the Nintendo Wii or Sony PS3 (80GB version). I try to play Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3 (it came with the system), but I'm not any good. Kids play Guitar Hero on Wii and Rock Band on PS3.

Commadore Vic 20, Tape drive. Anyone know if I can get WOW in cassette tape?

that makes me want to take out the old amiga a500+!!!!!

I still have a Atari "console" somewhere and an Amstrad with the 3" floppy disk. I think it even still works.

I've got one of those too. And a video toaster. Those were the good old days.

A coworker built mine so we could BF2 online together. Don't know what the specs are but It does have 5 gigs of ram so it's fast. My friend did say that basically within a few months there will be more powerful goodies to put in.I've had it for two years so.......... Still fast and battles online great With all the models I keep buying who can afford to update the computer but there is always hitting the lottery Bob

I've still got my Atari 2600 from around 84 or 85. It still works, but I don't think the kids have used it in a couple of years.

i have an older Dell with a single core Pentium 4 @ 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 1920 video card with 512 MB memory, 500 GB HDD master, 250 GB slave, Audigy Platinum ZS2 sound card with a 7.1 1000 watt surround sound system, and a 24" HD monitor. the processor is showing its age and an upgrade is down the road.

it also has 4 external hard drives, 1 TB, 500 GB, 250 GB, and a 150 GB, an audio mixer board with a turntable, cassette unit, and cd player. i have a second Dell PC with a KVM switch between them as a second system. for gaming i have several different types of joy stick controllers, game pad, and steering wheel w/ pedals.

some newer games suffer from such frame lag and slow downs that they are almost unplayable, but as long as STALKER, BF2, and the Company of Heros still run it still gets me by.
