No gaming community is complete without a thread dedicated to hardware one-upsmanship. Let the games begin!

My system is a mustang, not the fastest thing on four hooves but it fuckin' ain't slow:
Core 2 Duo E6300 (stock 1.87GHz, overclocked 24/7 @3.15GHz)
Gigabyte 965P-S3
2x1GB G.Skill DDR2-800 @ 900MHz 4-4-5-11
eVGA GeForce 7600GT KO @ 630/811 MHz

I built this a year ago, on a tight budget, and I'm well satisfied with the performance and longevity of the result. I'm too lazy to do benchmarks, and anyway I'm going to be upgrading to a 8800GT in less than a month. Then this thing'll be a screamer again, for a while.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66
Geforce 8800 GT 512 mb
2x 1024 mb RAM DDR2
And my hard disk is 200 gigabyte.. Not much, but it succeeds.
My motherboard isn't of any importance.

I mostly use my computer for gaming.

I saw this commercial and immediately bought the rig. I just love playing pong on my 640x480 screen. And get this: 4 mb hard drive, 64kb video card and a whopping 12.5MhZ processor.

Sorry guys, but you can't beat my rig.

OMG, why not? I'm running this thing 68% above spec 24/7 for more than a year, without a single hiccup. What possible reason could you have for wanting your machine to be slower than it could be?

I just got me a G5. I really like the feel of it... the mouse I have to use at work, which is a perfectly fine Logitech wheelmouse, just feels clunky now. But the middle-click on the G5 is really mushy-then-hard, so I had to remap some buttons and now I never use it. That sucks. I mean, that's your tertiary button. They really should have engineered it better. Still, the mouse does everything else way better than any other pointing device I've ever laid a hand on. So I'm not going to whinge too much.

Umm...it's a mac. Boot Camp is mac's software that allows you to run Windows on a Mac computer.
