After months of wanting a new comp I have finally bought one.

Its an HP desktop that cost $500. It has a 2.8GHz Pentium D 820, has 2GB of PC2-4200 DDR2, 300GB SATA hard drive, and Windows XP Media Center. It will probably be here on Tuesday. I am going to put on my ATI 128MB card and in May I am going to buy a new mobo and PC2-6400 and a better video card. I am going to try to overclock it with the stock motherboard, hopefully it will let me. Pentium D 820's can run stable at 3.8GHz, but I will probly only OC it to about 3.2GHz. I will let you know how it is when it gets here.

I think Pentiums can be over clocked by about 1Ghz my brother knows someone whos done that he says it fine and dandy its 2.2 and hes got 3.2 out of it ..which is nice

that D in particular is a monster OCer, I was thinking about getting an 820 myself. I'd get a new mobo card 1st after you get a new vid card, or before if the current mobo doesnt have PCI-E. and ifg this is your first experience w/ OCing, I WOULD NOT reccomend you try it without some guidance. I burn out a CPU and mobo that way my first time :P

Hmm...just plan on sticking with Pentium D processors if you're going to upgrade. I did some homework and found that motherboards of this system don't support the newer Core processors which made D obsolete. The highest one could get on there is a D 960. I'd hate to see you buy one and have to spend at least $30 for restocking.

I'd buy a mobo that supports Core 2 Duo and DDR2 800. So in May I get a mobo and memory. And then as soon as I get more money I'll upgrade to a Core 2 Duo. I'll probly get a vid card next week when I buy Oblivion.

What video card u got ive got a Nvidia Geforce FX6200 and it runs obilvion fine on low

shirschmokealot · 02-11-2007, 10:43 PM

Its just integrated graphics so Ima get and 7300GS so I can run it on high.

shirschmokealot · 02-12-2007, 09:25 PM

So it came in the mail today and it is so bomb. I got Dark Messiah Might and Magic. That game has some pretty high requirements so I will see how good it can run it and Im going to get 3DMark06.

Man right now I'm running two IE's, doing a Norton Full Scan, registering for Ubisoft, registering for Playline, installing Dark Messiah, and watching music videos. Gotta love dual cores.

I just installed my GeForce 7300GS and it is nice. And I got Gothic 3. I can play on the highest settings without lag.
