Hey guys,
I bought a new pc that ill be picking up this thursday, and i just wondered what i can expect it to handle like.
At the moment i have a
AMD Athlon XP3000+
512 Ram and
a 6600GT system which can run COD4 no probs and The crysis Demo at lowest settings with lots of pausing, but just about playable.
(this isnt the same with the full game though)
The new system that i have orderd has:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 1066FSB 8MB Cache Quad Core Core 64 Bit Processor @ 4 x 2.4GHz.
Memory: 2GB Corsair XMS 6400 DDR2 800MHz Dual Channel Ram
Graphics: Tripple Sli Nvidia 8800GTX 2304MB PCI-E Graphics Running In SLI Mode
Motherboard: Asus Striker2 Formula SLi nVidia 780I
Vista Ultimate - 32bit (will get 64bit in time)
I know Triple SlI isnt exaclty well supported, or SLI as a whole, but this machine is an investment more than anything, and one i can keep going for a few years with the odd upgrade if neccassary.
I just wanted to know a couple of things.
1. How much better will this pc be compared to my old one?
2. How can i expect crysis to perform?
3. What do you reccommend buying to make it faster? (im thinking 64bit vista with another 2gb ram?)
4. What new tech will be available that i can use to upgrade, e.g the new 9 series nvidia cards etc.
Thanks in advance.
