New Computer Finally! w00t!

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

Well, I decided not to build - I got a good deal at work on a Gateway Media Center - basically all of our computers have gone clearence all at once since vista is coming out (even though we are giving free upgrades)...

Anyway - specs:
Athlon X2 3800+
1GB DDR2 (Will upgrade to 2GB soon)
200 GB SATA
DVD-R (my first one)
added my 120GB from my old machine, my SB Live! and I bought a Nvidia 7600GS to pop in...

The cool part is I own a fully legal, updatable version of windows, and I get a free upgrade to Vista Premium in a few weeks although I'm not sure if I'm going to install it right away :P

For one, I'm not sure I'd like it - I didn't like 1942, or vietnam...
Also, don't you need like 8 gigs of ram and 2 $900 videocards to play it?

[Chi_Townz]

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

congrats max. Bf2 is fun, but there are a few of us still playing cs, sniper and I will jump in with ya and raid some servers, just catch us on friends list.

[LA_MERC_Wetzny]

Welcome to the world of BF2. It would be a crime to have that nice a system and NOT play BF2. DO IT... :) You wont be disappointed!

[LA_MERC_Spark]

yeah MAX.... BF2 = good fun!
