For actual use my "low spec" machine would be my living room PC/Media center. 6 core AMD FX 6200 with 10GB's of DDR3 1600 a 1.5TB Spinning drive and a GTX 1050 Ti.

I have older machines but I don't really count those as they are not in normal use. I think the oldest machine I could put back in working order with out ordering more parts would be like a 2.4Ghz Pentium 4 single core deal.

I keep flip flopping on the idea of putting my Pentium D 805 back together, it was an amazing overclocker (won the silicon lottery on that chip, and by won I mean totally... I could hit crazy speeds on it and never even needed to touch the voltage one bit.)

ladies and gentlemen, my second most-used pc specs

the "SlowAtom, SlowPshufb" "cpu capabilities" fainted me when i saw it. I know it's a shitty cpu, but the fact that the cpu itself were telling me "im slow" was just too much :rofl2:

I'd like to thank the temp once more for teaching me how to do things. This night, after watching a bunch of people unable te read "SAD" in the title of the thread, I finally moved my ass and learnt how to make gifs

Thank you all for motivating me enough to do this

There's nothing inherent in the Intel Core i7 920 that is stopping it from being overclocked, you most likely just have a motherboard that doesn't allow it.

My old laptop went up in smoke. I have a new one now

Intel core2 duo, 2gb ram, swapped the existing hdd out for my old one.

the laptop's originak hdd had windows xp, and the gpu driver had opengl support.

My old laptop loaded a driver without opengl support and now a lot of my stuff doesn't run :(

That's exactly that. The 920 is a good processor. It can go to 3.2Ghz without a problem and is still pretty viable for gaming. But the constructor's motherboard (Acer m7721) does not allow overclock. I have to change the bios, but that's a really shitty motherboard and i do not want to fry it.

However, my very one problem is not my processor, i like it. It's my graphical card that bother me. I can upgrade for cheap. But at this point, I'd rather buy a new machine.

AMD Phenom II X6 1035T @ 2.6GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM 1333 MHz, 1GB Asus AMD Radeon HD 5750, 3TB Boot Drive, couple other lower capacity hard drives for booting into Ubuntu and Mac OS X respectively.

I can run pretty recent titles at low-medium for the most part. Some others refuse to boot. Anything poorly optimized for lower end hardware is a no-go.

I play a lot of Garry's Mod because I work on development for several servers there, and it runs great as one might expect. Otherwise, I play various fighting games for the most part, which this machine handles decently as well, though its age is definitely showing when I have to turn down settings in some simple 3D fighting games (like DOA 5: Last Round).

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
    +3
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
