What Can I do with these Specs?
I was just wondering what would the community do with these specs?
As I am idea-dead of them
Specs:
850w PSU
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300
6gb Ram (4gb of which are SLI ready) (don't ask)
80gb
on a 64bit system WinXP x64
[Edit]
nvidia 8500 gt gfx card
I haven't done much with this new system o' mines.
so I'm asking what would "you" do?
ANY Idea no matter how lame or smart it is. (because they equal an evolution of ideas to come)

Basically anything lol
As far as I know L2 is one of the most demanding servers for hosting and you would be fine running one with a fairly high population, maybe close to 700 or so.
What kind of line is it on?
If I had the system around, and it was on a fairly decent line (higher bandwidth bracket) and I didn't owe a monthly payment on it, I would start up a community and try my hand at starting a lucrative business/whatever.
If I paid monthly payments on it then I would already have an idea of what I was doing with it before I started paying lol
I haven't been touching networks lately, just cafe'ing

Wot video card u using. And you ant got much hdd space.
Ah sorry nVidia 8500 GT Card, sli ready, probably gonna upgrade the cards soon
hmm not a gaming machine then.
Just because it's a 8500GT doesn't mean it's not a gaming machine, it just means it isnt a high end one.
Ontopic-
Do you mean what you could do to push it to its limits?
Well, i just need ideas of what i could possibly do with it. Every single possibility
It would be nice to knows it's limits
Well you could play DX 9 games aright.
Do basic stuff eg internet dvd making ect.
Better if you had a bigger HDD for storing DVDs.
Run it as a server, nice RAM for a server and a good processor too.
I've heard of Virtual PC 2007 or VPS, would that be of any worth of an idea?
If you want a game server then you need to fix your ram. There is no such thing as SLI'd RAM as far as i know you are refering to dual channelling and all servers require it. However the fact that some of your RAM is NOT dual channeled, it is SLOWING down the rest of your RAM (your computer only runs as fast as its SLOWEST part). Remove the 2gb which are not dual channeled and you will actually see a performance increase.
Once you've done that, invest about $200 for an 8800GT and it will be great for mid-high end gaming.

With Nforce 4/6/7 mobos, there's an option in the bios that allows you to disable/enable SLI Ready ram. It'll probably give a small performance boost, not quite sure.
I can see alot of thought processes going into gaming.
One Question,
What is the value of using this pc, with applying Virtual PC into and say imitating a VPS?
How would I go about doing that?
Just a small experiment
It's quite good, I suggest more HDD space though.
He just means the ram is "SLI Ready" which is some sales trick from memory makers.Originally Posted by Rishwin
Click here! for proofs :p.
His memory is totally fine, no need to buy new memory.. I just advice you to buy some new hdd's cause 80gb is shit. If you want to play later games buy a new videocard.
Hah, Funny thing Thats exactly the brand my ram is XD
Funny thing is only OCZ makes SLI Ready ram for as far as I know
By "SLI" they mean running two of the same to run faster. That is what dual channeling is. They use the term SLI to con people into paying more, thinking it is faster somehow.
I've Been Conned!
Grr.
So this SLI Ready RAM is pretty much a bunch of BS?
generally apart from this thread being a pathetic attempt at "look at me, my parents paid a fortune for my nice ass computer" your computer sucks.
there are no commonly used applications out there that use up 3 gb or more of ram, most of the stuff that uses more than 3gb of ram are advanced sql servers and other business orientated services.
only video encoding and 7 games take advantage of multiple cores so having quad core instead of 1 is also a waste.
my best suggestion would be :
go to myspace, register, create a mutilated dog ass ugly page for yourself and look for friends.
just because your parents bought you this box, doesnt mean you have brag about it or that they will buy any line that supports enough bandwidth to host any credible public server if you can configure one that is.
All I wanted were Ideas of what I could do with it.
