    Affordable PC play these games:

    in Tech and Computers

    Posted

    What parts (mainly the CPU and Vid card) would I need to play the following games at a really good level (running very smoothly on medium to high detail settings), but still be affordable? (under $900)

     

     

     

    Battlefield 1942

     

    Medel of Honour: Allied Assault and Pacific Assault

     

    Secret Weapons over Normandy

     

    (Got all 4 games new for $10 :thumbsup: \' )

     

     

     

    Age of Empires III

     

     

     

    So far I've got my sights on a P4 at 3Ghz with HT, ATI x1300, 1.5GB of RAM, 250GB HD, 17" Flatscreen, 8x DVD+RW drive.

     

     

     

    Thanks for suggestions in advance.

    Will this laptop work smoothly?

    What school are you going to? I don't think there's really any program that needs a whole lot of power to run while still relating to school...at most that'd be Flash MX or Photoshop, and even then it doesn't take that much. School is really just word processing.

     

     

     

    You wouldn't need that much of a high-end computer to play RS and do school work.

    If you paid 3 seconds of your attention to the log, then you'd realize that these "unknown processes" are actually safe programs that pose no threat to your system.

     

     

     

    A few of those above entries are from AVG, HijackThis!, Spybot, and Java Runtime Environment (the thing you need to play RS)

    Go to http://www.hijackthis.de to check out the processes.

     

     

     

    As for spyware, try out MS Defender Beta 2 from the Microsoft website.

     

     

     

    Also, you might want to try http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/. There's a shareware version of the software that'll let you clean out some of your registry. TweakNow RegCleaner also does the same thing, but scans faster and detects other parts of your registry and lets you remove some of the stuff that the Registry Mechanic shareware didn't fix. http://www.tweaknow.com/RegCleaner.html

    How bad is this.....

    You might want to consider buying from Chinese dealers. My cousin went to Chinatown and found tons of shops with all brand new parts warranty and everything.

     

     

     

    Here's a decent PC he found:

     

     

     

    AMD Athlon64 3500+ AM2

     

    FoxConn Motherboard

     

    Samsung 250 GB SATAII Hard Drive

     

    512 MB RAM

     

    DVD-CD Combo

     

     

     

    $400 CDN, tax included

     

     

     

    Plus upgradable to Win XP Professional for $139 or Win Home for $89

     

    Upgradable to DVDÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâñRW for $5

     

     

     

    And that's a PC WAY more than you need to play something like RS and Guildwars

    will this computer be able to ply Runescape?!

    Runescape is about as low as you can go for graphics in terms of Online MMORPGs. I can't think of another game that's much worse. Oh that's right, RSC! Compare it to guildwars and Camelot and you'll see.

     

     

     

    That comp is way more than enough to play RS. Just make sure you get something slightly better than Dial-Up. My computer is worse than the one that you're buying (Pentium II, 64 RAM, Dial-Up, ATI RAGE TURBO PRO [No on-board or 3D support lol]) and I can almost run RS faster than a frame by frame pace. (Drop parties are NOT fun.)

     

     

     

    But the good news is is that you can play classic games like Rainbow 6 :D :thumbsup:

    Is 1Gb enough these days...

    You could just go for a stick of 512. But of course like others have said, it depends on what you're using your computer for.

     

     

     

    If you're just a RS player that does a little bit of homework and listens to music, then 1GB is more than enough.

     

     

     

    But if you're looking towards stuff like Oblivion, Call of Duty, and Doom 4, then you'll be needing that extra 1GB.

     

     

     

    Also, it's not sensible to go overdrive and get like 8GBs of RAM because then your system will spread out the tasks over the 8GBs, which reduces performance and it's expensive.

    The processor is still pretty good, but you might want to go for something with HT and maybe dual core (unless the P4 you have now has HT.) Or go AMD :D

     

     

     

    For the Vid card, go all out and skip the Radeon X1600 for the X1900.

     

     

     

    RAM, get maybe 1-2 GB RAM. Kingston is a good company.

     

     

     

    Get a 160 GB hard drive with SATA2 (there might be SATA3 now :-k ) at 7200 RPM (Western Digital good company for hard drives

    Best possible computer?

    i would spend 5000 on the comp, and the other 15,000 for a 72inch plasma for the screen ;)

     

     

     

    Lol that'd be so incredibly fun to play FPSs like Doom, CounterStrike, or CoD :D :thumbsup:

     

     

     

    And could someone quickly tell me what dual and quad SLI and CAS2/CAS3 means?

    I have a few .wmv's and .avi's I got off the web but I want to cut some parts out and move them around. Anyone know of a free program that does this?

     

     

     

    Oh and if you know about any program that does the same thing for sound files (preferrably .wav's and .mp3's) but is more comprehensive than Windows Sound Recorder, then that would be appreciated too.
