How old is your comp, and how much have you upgraded?

lolz, sorry for making you enter rant mode. I removed my comment about the FSB almost immediately after I realised I miss-read the specs.

It's 6 years old and I bought a 512 MB sdram stick at around the beginning of the year. :P

It was a P2 600, with 128 meg of ram, and a voodoo 3... but after 5 mobo relacements, 8 new hard drives, 3 differnt sets of ram, 4 graphics cards, 3 procesors, countless fans, 2 cases, 4 monitors, 5 DVD RW's, 2 DVDs, and finaly on the latest build ditching the old floppy that had been constant through out, I have:

AMD X2 4600
4 gig of ram DDR2 800 3 3 3 12 (but in XP only 3... DAM SERVICE PACK 2, I will have to get vista at some point. Linux for real win)
7800 GT OC 600 / 900
striped hard disks on STAT2, and mirrored storage.

And.... One hell of a nice monitor. 24Inch TFT for the win.

And a graphics tablet, which turns out to be the most value for money of the lot...

Maybe when I'm bothered Ill overclock the rest like LathanStanley...

I have a Duron 1300 with a Radeon 9000 of 64 MBs of RAM and 512 RAM. I don't even remember how old it is, although i bought it latter than it seems. At the time, i bought the most cheap hardware available.
I was thy Lag Master in Spring!

I was considering upgrading as soon as SupCom would come out. But ├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼ dificulties have stoped me. Anyway, i thought about it and reached a conclusion:
How much will the entertainment really cost?
With my PC and my laptop, i can do almost everything i want, including most games (i am now playing Neverwinter Nights single player. Awesome!!!). Even if i get to play more than just SupCom that i can't play now, let's say 3 games to exagerate a bit, since i only play a few games, that would make the fun brought by those 3 games cost around 750├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼ for the new PC + 50x3 for the games, 900 ├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼ for 3 games. That would mean that it would cost me 300├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼ to play a game. That is freaking expensive entertainment. Not to mention that i really only want to play SupCom, nothing else. In that case, the entertainment would cost me 800├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼ for a single game. That is just too expensive!

Old box:

1.5ghz AMD Athlon
764mb ram (or so, around that amount, lots of odd bits of ram in here)
Nvidia 5800 GFX card. 256mb.
1 40gb IDE harddrive
1 300gb IDE harddrive
1 DVD drive
1 CD Re-writer

Around a half year since the new harddrive, around 2 years since the upgrade before that.

Laptop:
University provided
1.7ghz Intel Celeron
512mb ram
Inbuilt Grafix (suckz) (ATI Radeon Xpress)
1 40gb HDD
1 DVD writer


New Machine, just finished construction:
2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (Reccomended by AF)
2gb Ram
Point of View Nvidia 320mb 8800 graphics card
1 250gb HDD
1 DVD Writer

Edit: And Paul is right, it IS expencive for the ablity to run supcom. But then again, I also do a LOT of media work at the moment, so I need a machine capable of doing stuffs.

I'd post my specs, but it'd sound like I was gloating
