Forum :: Lounge :: Super fast computer :)

Hi, 6 days ago, I digged out my 1 year old desktop computer from garage, I ordered new processor and new graphics card.

These two:

Intel Core i7-3770 Processor Socket-LGA1155, Quad Core, 3,4Ghz, 8MB, Boxed w/fan.
Gainward GeForce GTX 680 2GB PhysX CUDA PCI-Express 3.0, GDDR5, DVI-D+DVI-I, native-HDMI, DisplayPort.

It has 8 GB of ram, and it's on Windows XP.. Yes I like Windows XP :)
Here's a picture of only Google Chrome installed LOL.

I'd love to see it run some of the newer games :o

For testing purposes.

The good times are killing me.

You might want to upgrade to 64bit windows 7 or see if your OS supports all that ram, because if I remember correctly xp only supports 3gbs of ram.

Windows XP - 64 Bit, supports 8 GB of ram ^^.

As much as I love windows 7, it's just like Vista when running programs. Always asking for administrator permission even though you are the administrator..

But, yeah, Win 7 or 8 is the way to go. Windows 8 makes me feel a little uncomfortable, but is great and simple for running games and stuff.

Edit: On steam?

Yes on steam :)

Does the mobo even support a 1155 socket or PCI-E 3?

Well, it runs fine on my computer, so I'm guessing it's a yes.

Odd.. A year ago the 1155 was just starting to be used for things other then Xeon based servers, and PCI 3 was newish, doesn't make much sense why you had bought a brand new computer with a semi-top of the line motherboard for it's time and placed it in the garage o_O

Whatever floats your boat I guess, xP

If you ever find out it doesnt work or you want to sell that graphics card I will be willing to buy. (250$) and if you want to sell the hole computer itself 500$. Will pay shipping.

I'd be interested to know what year old motherboard supports all that hardware.

Awesome specs, awesome OS. I applaud you brother.

I also recommend everyone steer clear from Windows 8. It's AIDS on a Hard Disk.
