My friend has a mac at the moment, and every time i find a game and get playing it he always as to try and find a mac version, it's amusing.

all the comps i've had are good in one part and bad in another
the last one i had which was a refurbished 2004 comp had 3 ghz processor, but 128mb integrated vram

this one has 256mb vram (not my choice), a dual-core 1.3ghz processor, but 500GB of storage

What OS are you running on that

[Wheatley]

What OS are you running on that

windows 7
why
my old one had XP

Also I'm not entirely sure about my vram but based on my fps in most games I think it's 256MB, but dxdiag reports ~2000MB
my RAM in both comps has been 4GB

Whats good about that at all?

the storage
considering my last comp had 80GB it was a big difference

I have a computer from 1984 and a computer originally sold with MS-DOS 2.1. Do I win?

It's an upgrade but 500gb hdds are super cheap

i have a 2009 compaq:

Hey cool, another compaq owner!

I have a 1987 compaq.

Processor: Texas Instruments 486
RAM: 3.7MB DRAM in dozens of DIPs (640k onboard, rest extended memory)
Graphics: 80x25 character onboard 9" greenscreen, graphics card with CGA and composite output
Hard Drive: 515MB hard drive
External Storage: 1 3.5" floppy drive, 1 5.25" floppy drive
Sound: PC Speaker
Operating System: MS-DOS 6.22

Suffice to say it is not my primary desktop. I spent a lot of time restoring it and basically it's awesome. I've got a plan to get it to connect to modern wifi networks.

I didn't think anyone would beat mine but you did. :(

Mine originally came with with DOS 3.1, was upgraded with 3MB of RAM and a new processor (original was a 286, which I still have) sometime in 1995. Does yours still work?

[Port]

Does yours still work?

I did get some old game running on it just fine about half a year ago, so I'd say it does.

Of course with the specs of a Mac you'd probably not be able to game very well anyway. I don't even think it runs TF2 that well.

[Green Blockhead²]

Windows Vista Home Prenium x64 Based PC
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 2000 XT or something like that
250+ video memory

And worst of all, I'll never be free from 222GB of hard drive space :/

I'm researching for the best gaming laptop, I've heard Alienware are the worst despite how beastly they are.

[Darkness ZXW]

Alienware computers are overpriced AC units.

Hey cool, another compaq owner!

Imo Compaq is one of the best computer brands. They always have a range of models so they are good for any budget, and the hardware to price ratio is easily found.

My first new computer was a Compaq Presario M2000 and man, I loved it. Played LAN games all the time, major nostalgia with that model. But sadly it started melting charger heads after I dropped it and the pin bent. :S

I currently own a Compaq Presario CQ62 (357TX model). I bought it in 2011, it was a late 2010 model. Has Intel i3-370M 2.40GHz and a 512MB dedicated Radeon HD Mobility 5470 in it and I pushed its RAM up to 4GB. Pretty swell for playing Steam games, even Garrys Mod does alright. I managed to play GTA IV on it too, at low res and 20 - 28 FPS or so. It plays Blockland really well, but stuffs out on shaders above low setting with high brick count.

Gonna sell it now, I don't want to though. :c  Gonna raise money for a gaming mini-itx, just need the CPU and RAM and I can build it. :D

I highly recommend Compaq as a brand.
