Sorry about the bad quality of these pics... My GF (and my camera of course), is in Iceland, so i had to use the the camera in my cellular phone..

CPU: Amd Athlon 64, 3500+ With this Huuuge Zalman cooling fan.
RAM: 2Gig
Hard drive: 2x250G

Casing: Antec Sonata Piano black II
Operating system: Win XP Professional X64

Misc:

I think this baby will suit well for gaming;)

So far, i havent had any problems with that 64 bit windows... I havent installed any games yet, though..

I´d like to thank all of you, who shared your knowledge on my "pimp my computer"-thread, you were a great help! ^:)

Congrats M8!

I think you will find XP64 quite pleasant. In fact, the only thing I have not been able to run on it was Splinter Cell and that was due to Starforce, not the actual game.

I also have that exact keyboard. Maybe we should share some IL2 profiles once you get everything all set up.

Does this mean there will be issues with XP64 and Flaming Cliffs or Silent Hunter? ( think they both have SF)

Nice rig Sapper

I honestly do not know. I tried to send in a support ticket when the game would not work and received a canned response of something like: " It clearly does not state XP64 support on the box. The issue is not our problem. Contact starforce...blah blah."

So it is a known problem with Splinter Cell:CT but I do not know if there are any other games with the same issue. I do know however that Vista supposedly has major issues with Starforce so maybe it also has them with XP64.

Sapper, your hands *will* start aching all around if you keep them few years in such position. They need some support.

The G15 is hands down the best keyboard ever made. I have gone through so many I lost count in the past 5 years. From the feel under your digits to the functionality, it is excellent all the way around.

I would suggest waiting till it goes on sale at Best Buy or some place like that. I picked mine up for about $50 with MIR.

Thx everyone! ;)

That keyboard can be pushed further away, but then i cant lift up that little screen ;)
what kind of mouse pad do you have hmmm?!
Now i´m embarassed... Everything else is brand new, but that mausepad is like 10 years old :oops:
Please clarify. GF in Iceland? Why Iceland where there's places like...oh i don't know....Florida and Spain?


Yeah.... Women... you just cant figure them out :lol:
How you getting on with XP64.. I'm still running XP pro edition 2 on my 64 bit... should I install it should I should I???
So far this x64 seems to work just fine... i´ve had some problems with couple of programs, which have 16-bit installers... they dont work on a x64.... But they are not neccecary programs anyway.


This will surely keep me flying for years to come.... 8)

Man, it takes some time to get use used to this 19" screen, since i´ve been using 17" monitor for the last 3 years...
