OK, So you can look at my sig to see my system specs.
What you don't see is my fiancé’s computer that I have networked together. She’s almost as much of a gamer as I am. She still plays UT2K4 and other games all the time. She has a
P4 2.4 533FSB
1024MB DDR 333
80 GIG HDD (2- 40 GIGs)
128MB GeForce4TI 4400
SB-Live Platinum
So her system isn't THAT great, but it definitely keeps her happy.
Now, Most of what she has is constructed via my 'hand-me-downs' but I don't think she can really complain.
I try to keep my PC investments around $750-$1000 a year. This allows me to keep some very descent hardware on my machine and upgrade wherever the 'bottleneck' is as needed.
Then I can build a system from her leftovers and sell it! Which usually keeps MY upgrades coming!
What I want to know is this.
How much do you budget or invest into your systems annually (Excluding software)
What systems do you have... and how important is it to 'you' to have a good running machine?
