Any folding rig counts, too? I don't use my computers for gaming, anymore, though.

HP Slimline s3430f
HP Slimline s3120n
Dell M1210
F@H rig - still waiting for a couple of parts.

[Suprfire]

you should narrow down the requirements of being capable to "game"

maybe list the names of a few games and then a smooth playability requirement

[erf]

are you people made of money?

[Stereophile]

least powerful:
Athlon X2 4400+
HD 3870 512MB
3GB RAM

Your worst is better than my primary PC. ;)

[jeremyshaw]

are you people made of money?

hell no!

[Guitarrasdeamor]

are you people made of money?

Nah, just computer parts. :D

[Zepher]

I just have the main rig.
I used to have 2 gaming machines back in the day but didn't really use the second one much so I sold it to a friend that wanted to game.

Q6600 @3ghz
8GB Ram
GTX 285

[Zero82z]

Two, both in my sig.

[jeremyshaw]

How am I showing off exactly? My rigs aren't exactly anything special nowadays.

[jeremyshaw]

How am I showing off exactly? My rigs aren't exactly anything special nowadays.

Ach, compared to me. I thought a E6320 was kickass until I figured what q9550 meant. I use mine for folding, though I'm pretty sure it can game, if I connected a monitor up to it.

EDIT: ach is a wierd noise of 'oops' made by one's tounge.

[ThisIsTheNewSound]

I've only got the one, in the sig. It's pretty nice though.

[Mr. Pedantic]

Just the one (I'm really boring, aren't I?).

Core i7 920 @ 3.6GHz
HD4870 512MB
6GB RAM

It's also my main (read: only) folding rig since I don't game that much any more, what with uni and stuff. I really should have bought a 260 instead of the 4870 lol...

[brom42]

See sig. I do have several systems that are "gaming capable," But I stopped PC gaming a long time ago. Now I am exclusively console and hand-held only.

Well my friend has 3 that have at least a 8400 and a 4850 in them. Makes impulse LANings a lot easier since they are always there and ready for us when we just gotta play some deathmatch.

[magnetik]

All of my pc's at the house are gaming capable except for my server. :)

[Uberbob102000]

All but 2 of my rigs are gaming capable. From most to least powerful.

Core i7 920
4890 xfire (waiting on Fermi before going DX11)
12GB RAM

Core 2 Quad Q9400
8800GTS 512MB
4GB RAM

Pentium D 3.2GHz
9600GT
2GB RAM

[Bigbacon]

ill go with 3 and half

My main PC listed in sig. My media PC, my wifes PC and my laptop counts as the half. The 8600 in it just doesn't really cut it. The other two PCs have 9600s which are more than adequate to play games well.

[4saken]

Three here, my main, my HTPC and my Wifes system.

[snaggletooth]

are you people made of money?

As a matter of fact, yes! :D

[darknite]

I only game on 1.
Q6600
4 gig ram
ATI 4870

It does every game i've thrown at it so far.

I have too many pc's to put them on here but at least 3 more are capable of gaming. Might be games before 2007 or 08. But they still do it.
I played on my laptop while i was gone.
AMD Turion somthing another, i forget
2 gig ram
Onboard video

My favorite rig has been what is now my server.
AMD 2800
Asus A7N8X-E deluxe mmmm
2 gig ram
Nvidia 6800

And if you count the PS3.

[GORANKAR]

Not counting my kid's computer, I have three capable of Crysis in a reasonable fashion:

Opty 175 / 4gigs ram
x1900xt (formerly had 2 x 8800GTS I removed them to make room for a PCIE raid card)
19" TN from BenQ
1 x 32gig SSD, 5 x 1TB (raid 5)
PC P&C 1Kw / Xp 64 (this PC is used as a NAS/game server but could still play games OK)
Old version of the Lian-Li V1200b

Q9300 @ 3.2Ghz / 8gigs ram
4870 / 9800gtx+ (I need to yank the 9800 out since it is now a power sucking paper weight with out hacking drivers or using old drivers, and I only own 2 games that actually use GPU PhysX anyway)
Sony G520
1 x 500gig, 1 x 1 TB
PC P&C Silencer 750 / Win 7 64 / Xp 32
New version of the Lian-Li V1200b

I7 920 / 6gigs ram (recent build, a little over a month, still on stock cooling, buying either a True or Corsair H50 b4 any serious OC attempts)
5870 /
Viewsonic P220f b / Dell w2409s
2 x 640gig, 1 x 1TB
Corsair HX850/ Win 7 64 / Xp 32
Corsair 800D (formerly a V1200b, yes I have 3 of them)

I have an Opty 165, DFI SLI mobo, 2 x 8800Gts, 4 gigs of ram, v1200b, a Dell branded g520, and a Xp 64 license, I could toss together as a 4th gaming system but feel no need to do so. The Opty 165 does not OC for shit anyway.

[breakbread21]

C2D e8400 / 6gb of ram
GTX 275
24" Samsung 2493hm
Thermaltake Big Typhoon
1tb Samsung Spinpoint F1
400gb WD Caviar

C2D e6300 / 2gb ram
8800gts 320mb
2x160gb WD Caviar
200gb WD Caviar


Honestly, though, I want to sell off that secondary box. The 8800 is more or less sold. I really wanted to have a secondary computer again, but as I upgraded my main rig and found myself with one, I realized that I won't actually do anything with it. There are things I COULD do with it, I just don't have time to fool with it most of the time. Maybe once I'm done with school

[YeuEmMaiMai]

2, one is capable of playing much older games and one is capable of playing the latest games.......

[Proxy]

Just one, my sig rig.

i7 940
GTX 280's SLi
12Gigs of RAM

[Ashton]

My main desktop (Amd64x2 (dual-core 64-bit) @ 2.66 w XP64, 256 Radeon (dont remember model), and 3gb Ram) has had no problems with any games except The Witcher (which I understand a LOT of people have issues with)

My laptop can handle most games... cant get Portal, TF2, or Peggle to work worth crap on it though (AMD Tureon2 (dual-core 64-bit) with Vista64, 64-mb dedicated VRAM (I think) and 2gb RAM)

[RamonGTP]

If you can't get peggle to work, I'm not sure how "game capable" it could possibly be.

[Ashton]

If you can't get peggle to work, I'm not sure how "game capable" it could possibly be.

Everquest, Everquest II, World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Guild Wars, Any emulator I can throw at it minus Dolphin. For me and my mostly-mmorpg gaming it's great. I can even run Maya (3D rendering/animation program) at full throttle on it wihtout any lag.

I think Steam's games require a really good graphics card + VRAM while the others require a really good processor and system's ram

I couldnt imagine playing all those MMOs at once. When do you have time to eat/sleep/work/other fun stuff?

[jeremyshaw]

Okay, I just updated my signuature.

Still don't have the tenacity anymore to game.

[BladeVenom]

are you people made of money?

There are a lot more expensive hobbies than computers. Look how much some people spend on cars and boats, and being a hardware enthusiast seems like a cheap hobby. Look at how much some people spend on upgrading sports equipment with dubious benefits. At least when I upgrade my PC the differences are appreciable and easily measured.

Also think about how much money some people spend on fashion. Expensive clothes that are only worn a few times before they are out of fashion.

Then consider the money to time ratio. People spend lots on time on their computers, so when you consider the dollar value that way, it's an entertainment bargain. And if your folding may even be beneficial to society.

[blade52x]

Look how much some people spend on cars and boats, and being a hardware enthusiast seems like a cheap hobby.

My ultimate goal is to have a hobby in hardware, cars, and boats all at the same time. :D

I don't ever see myself owning more than two desktops though. One for high end everything, and the other as some type of efficient media center.

I feel the same way. I always sell the 3rd one after upgrading.

You can EASILY spend as much on a computers as boats and cars. My next rig might very well cost me $10,000. That's just the hardware and no monitor.

But if you are REALLY into cars and boats and what not on the high end then yeah, that's going to be a lot more money. But I could EASILY blow $100k per year on computers if I had the money.

I have two gaming capable rigs though on is disassembled ATM.

BTW, as for other hobbies....I got about 12k sittin here behind me.. 2008 Kawasaki KFX450 Race Quad, and a little CRF150R motocycle I kinda use like a pitbike. ATVs and bikes can get EXPENSIVE if ya keep modding and buying stuff for them. PCs are CHEAP in comparison. My father is into old Hot Rods. I would be too, but they cost too much. There's a 100k in the adjoining garage and he just sold one other car for $23k. I think I'll stay with the PCs. LOL.

you say you'll stick with PCs until you get a nice vehicle that worth messing with.....

I'm pretty much putting PCs on hold now that I have a car that is worth making better and have never been a car person, I am hooked already.

My rig is an xp64 3200 and 6600gt so the answer is 0

Nah, cars take too much time and money. Had a few "worthy" cars over the years. 1965 GTO Convertible, 1973 TransAM, 1948 Ford Convertible. I see how the cars took over my Father's life. Not goin down that path. BTW, I can cram my ATVs, bikes AND 3 or 4 PCs in my small 16'x32' garage/shop. Try stuffin 3 cars and a project in anything less than 40x60, lol. Oh yeah, tools...what ya need for a PC? phillips screwdriver and some zipties! The ATVs...your run of the mill Craftsman 150pc metric tool set! Add the money needed to build muscle cars, street rods or classix. LOL. Crazy.

Other than computers, RC cars is my other hobby. For me, the RC hobby ends up costing nearly 3x as much as my computer hobby.

That's about it for gaming boxes. I could build another one if I desired as I have enough parts on hand to do it. I've got a spare X58 board and a Core i7 920 CPU but I will most likely use that to upgrade one of the above machines.

There are a lot more expensive hobbies than computers. Look how much some people spend on cars and boats, and being a hardware enthusiast seems like a cheap hobby. Look at how much some people spend on upgrading sports equipment with dubious benefits. At least when I upgrade my PC the differences are appreciable and easily measured.

Also think about how much money some people spend on fashion. Expensive clothes that are only worn a few times before they are out of fashion.

Then consider the money to time ratio. People spend lots on time on their computers, so when you consider the dollar value that way, it's an entertainment bargain. And if your folding may even be beneficial to society.

What I spend on guns FAR exceeds my computer related spending these last couple of years.

Three up and running right now, full parts for another 3 lying around though.

I love this laptop. Only gripe I have is that the 'r' button sometimes doesn't registe.

Intel E8600 @ 3.33

runs cod4, crysis, couple other games at full, I like it.

[WCES Ryan]

I'd say all 4 of the machines in my house are gaming capable. My wife and I each have a gaming desktop PC with some decent hardware... quad core CPU's, gaming video cards, lots of RAM, etc. Then we have a laptop that sits on the coffee table that is capable of playing WoW, not with high graphics or anything, but the fact that it is even playable at 1920x1200 is impressive. As a last resort we can use the HTPC for some gaming, which again isn't pretty, but it's been done in a pinch.

[TheResidentEvil]

I only have 1 because I sell off all my old parts when I upgrade my main one.

Not sure exactly what you're looking for here in terms of "capable of gaming" but I have three that I use for games, though I play games as old as Red Orchestra and stuff, so it's nolike they need to be terribly new.

Main rig is a core2 quad with plenty of ram

Secondary rig is a core2 with a little less ram (some of my memory has caused bluescreens recently, so :( )

Third rig is a P4 3.2 with a decent amount of memory and the fastest AGP card I could find for it.

No listed specs because I am pretty sure no one cares, they're not anything special.

I only have the one in my sig. I would have another but I give away my old parts to family and stuff. It's silly to run a second computer for just myself.

[magoo]

mine is in signature.

My son's;

4 GB Corsair Dominator
Evga GTX 260 OC

My daughter's:

4GB Corsair XMS
ATI 4870 512MB OC

:D:D

[ROCKETR]

Specs in sigs, but this is all I have. Everything else isn't even worth using the internet for in my opinion. :p

Desktop:

4GB DDR2 Corsair Dominator

Laptop:
T9400
3GB DDR3
ATi Mobility Radeon 3470

[Ender1183]

I guess just the 2 in my sig, feel so in lonely with only 2 now lol. Don't even use the HTPC for games much just went a buddy wants to play. Did get the itch to start building a i7 and made a wishlist on newegg so I may get up to 3 soon.

Every system i own is gaming capable. Just depends on how you define "gaming". For example, i have an old P133 i still use regularly for DOS gaming. :p

[Sparkyy]

Just the one in my sig called "gaming rig", might be a little dated now a days as I built it back in Feb 08 but still handles any game I throw at it and yes! It can/does play Crysis! ... and Crysis: Warhead. :p

Figured why bother with GPU updates if the 9x00 series was a modified 8800 series and now my quad probably would be the bottleneck with the latest gpu so just waiting to get an i7.
