Author Topic: What kind of computer do you have? (Read 1042 times)

Kyzor · November 30, 2009, 02:35:10 AM

Desktop or laptop? PC or Mac? Linux or Windows? Intel processor or AMD? NVIDIA or ATI? And so on and so forth. I know I forgot a bunch, just list them if you want.

I'll start:

Desktop or laptop? - Desktop (Dell Dimension 9100)
PC or Mac? - PC
Operating system? - Windows XP 32-bit
Processor? - Intel Pentium D 32-bit
Graphics/video? - ATI RADEON 850
RAM? - 1GB
How well does it run Blockland? - Fairly
Custom built or pre-assembled? - Pre-assembled
Price tag? - ~$3000, back when we actually got it (which was around 4 years ago, back when it was a really damn good computer)

You can even copy and edit that list for yourself. I'm basically making this thread because I'm looking for a new computer and was wondering what computers other Blocklanders use.

What do you mean by "bootcamp," unless it's a joke?

Holy stuff, that first one sounds like the computer for me, how much did it cost, if you know, and how many bricks at max can it handle? In fact, I think I'll add Cost to the list.

It costed about $600 or so when I first got it back at the beginning of this year.
Now, you can get a much better PC, even though this one still serves me plenty fine.
I don't know how many bricks it can handle, but it has gone beyond 128,000 bricks while still being extremely playable.
