I thought the PS3 had an 8-core.

Radeon X1300/X1550
Same card as I have currently.
Yeah I did notice as I did try to find if someone would consider it as a good card or not. As many games are just above it in minimum or recomended requirements.
Yeah, it barely plays TF2, but it does play Counter Strike source at 150+ FPS at high. It plays HL2 at a good FPS aswell.
It wont hold up up with the upcoming games though.

There probably will be an option for that in the PC version this november.

I think Casual is the maroon shirt and jeans, so I voted casual. Best clothes, next is tracksuit. (I feel like Jason Statham in the tracksuit

System
Display
Official System:Windows XP Home 32x
@ 1024x768, Dual monitors, 15 in. LCD VGA (I'll be playing on this one), 17 in. CRT VGA.
Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850 512MB
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz
3GB DDR667 RAM
60 GB of free hardware space (This will fill up quickly with L4D, Fallout 3, and GTA 4 sadly, I'll have to delete my porn D:)
So?
High and high, although Windows XP Professional >>>>>> Home
I have a windows XP pro CD over there in a box in my closet, I just need an external HD first to save stuff on so I don't have to redownload/reinstall everything. I'll probably switch to XP pro eventually.

Well, last words for me, so I'll just prove you wrong with your own article. If you will go to the next page you will see the reviewers of the products saying only cons for the Intel, and both pros and cons for AMD
Con for Intel P4:
"On the Pentium 4 side of things, if you've got anything with less than 512KB of cache it's time for you to upgrade. Prescott owners will be happy that their chips are finally faster than Northwood in something thanks to larger caches. "(They don't even mention P4 but once, they go on to review both Athlon and XP)
Pro for AMD Athlon:
"AMD owners have much more of a reason to rejoice: the Athlon 64 runs Doom perfectly. It's almost as if the game was built to run best on an Athlon 64; maybe AMD should invest some marketing dollars in their own "The way it's meant to be played" campaign."Con for AMD XP:
The Athlon XP is much less impressive under Doom 3 thanks to its lack of an on-die memory controller; unless you have a Barton based Athlon XP, it may be time to bite the bullet and upgrade to an Athlon 64. That being said, the entry level Sempron 3100+ offers very competitive performance at a price point that's low enough to make the transition to a Socket-754 platform relatively painless.I think the evidence of this is that: Some intel chips are better than some AMD chips and some AMD chips are better than some intel's chips, and that Athlon does indeed kick the shit out of the Intel P4, but not as much could be said for the Sempron judging by this article and how well the CPU takes Doom 3.
-
Sounds like a graphics processing problem, as the graphic texture detail has nothing to do with the CPU
Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about. Your friend's PC (Mainly GPU) is crap anyway if it cant run COD2, that's an old ass game.
EDIT: The date on that test is August 4th, 2004....A little outdated test don't you think? Besides, P4 is below FIVE other AMD processors. AND the P4 is only beating the lower model Semprons, if you take a look the Sempron 3100+ kicks the shit out of EIGHT of the TWELVE intel P4 processors. Your little researched items proved YOU wrong, so just scamper a long and fanboy somewhere else.
Oh and another big part of the test is that it is testing on how well the processors run with Doom 3, not the overall statistics and power of each one.
-
lol, u poor thing. Semprons are truly garbage. Pentium 4 was THE gaming processor before the dual cores came out. ask anyone and they will tell you that P4s are not garbage. u must be a 12yo kid who doesnt research anything. honestly, go on Yahoo or Google and compare older CPUs (Athlons and P4s and Celerons). you will see. and why do u contradict everything? are you smarter than everyone here becuase you are a mod?! u are really pissing me off with this. and once again, you cant compare a Pentium 4 to ALL Athlons or Semprons. there are Athlon 300+, 2500+, 400+, etc. they all are different, so if you like comparing groups of things to one thing, go ahead, be my guest.
This guy makes me lol. Obviously Chris means Athlons and Semprons in the same time-scale as your current P4.
Chris- I'm getting that combo. I've decided to stop looking at graphics cards completely and stop visiting Tigerdirect and Newegg so something else does not catch my eye and I become skeptical of my previous choice.
-
Hey guys I'm having to skimp on prices, so I'm looking at the first combo deal in this list:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCombo...=10&page=1-
Whatcha think? I'd be happy with just about anything if I could play my games (and new games, L4D, Fl3, GTA4 are the main ones. Not worried about playing high graphics games like crysis since it sucks anyway) at half medium half high graphics and keep above 30 FPS.

Little Haiti/Habana. Kaufman is south of Phil's Place, print works is east of kaufman's.
Print works and kaufman are both orange buildings.

How do I know if my drive is a "DVD Dual layer"? Everest doesn't tell. If it is any notification, I can play DVDs on here.

Card name: Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family
No. Any graphics chipsets made by Intel are horrible.
Also the 4850 is a lot better than the 9600. Please don't make a mistake and put envidya parts in your system.
You have a vendetta against Nvidia like I do against Vista

Probably the back tire is on a backward slant, making the front tire come up. Simple detail mistake. Don't except every car to be hovering - R* would notice for sure.

Hello, if you are familiar with the first one, you may like to know that the second is out.
Please watch them.

Not very smart to get a card before you know it'll fit your motherboard.

Don't you have to put in an authentication code thing to prove you're human? Gmail's is like impossible to read.

MUCH better than the other trailers. A+, Rockstar.
-
Wooo, GTA4 PC is coming down the road, yay.
-
Huckleberry if I were you I'd spring an extra 50 or so bucks on the GPU to get something much better so you wont have to upgrade for a while.

There is an official topic for this.

Can my PC run GTA IV?

You can get a much better card for 150 dollars than a 3650. Even if it does have 1GB of video memory, a 4850 with 512 memory would be better I think.

There is the card I am getting, for 15 more bucks you can get a card which is substantially better.
also, don't quote me on this, I have menial knowledge in this stuff, but still enough to get around
-Also you can get some good quality Corsair ram for 40 dollars. I got 2GB for 40 dollars, but mine is only DDR2667.
