PC 1 - Intel Core 2 duo 2.4 ghz, 4gb ram, 8800gt 512mb, windows vista

PC 2 - Amd sempron 3000+ 1gb ram geforce 5200, windows xp

Consoles 1,2,3,4,5,6 are the usual suspects. XB360,PS1,2,3 N64, Wii

The one that isn't working - because of PSU or motherboard - that I used to use:

• ASUS A8N-SLI
• AMD Athlon 64 3200+
• Gainward GeForce 6600 GT 128 MB
• Kingston ValueRAM PC3200 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) (I took these to the computer I use now)
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 200 GB SATA
• Sirtec 420W
• LG DVD-RW (took it to the computer I'm using now)

The one I'm forced to use now:

• AMD Athlon XP 1800+
• some random motherboard
• 512 MB PC2700 + 1 GB from the other computer (see above)
• ATI Radeon 9550
• harddrive not working -.-
• Umm... Don't know?

funnily enough, I briefly had a Compaq with very similar specs (maybe same model) I owned it for about a week before I returned it, it kept crapping out on me.

Edit: how do your PC's perform with games?

I really dont care for my comp

The laptop runs pretty good for what I do with it.  The wireless card is easy to replace.  Compaq told me that the some of the v6000 were shipped with faulty cards.  When I went to buy the laptop I wanted one with windows vista because I really like it.  I really needed a new laptop at the time because my old hp laptop kept overheating and melted the cooling fan I had underneath it.  The store only had a few laptops with Vista so I chose this one.  I don't do a whole lot.  I mainly use my laptop for surfing the internet and as a media server for the ps3.

The laptop does well for the games that I play.  I don't play any games that are too demanding.  Most of my pc gaming involves Tomb Raider Anniversary, Tomb Raider Legend, and Madden.  I prefer madden on pc.   Probably would run a little smoother with a little more ram.  I'll probably upgrade to 2gb ram soon.

I got mine almost 2 years ago at the cost of about 3 PS3s:

I have a:

Core2Duo 2.2 GHz o.c to 2.93GHz
2GB RAM
2 HDD combined total of 820GB
ATI Radeon x1950PRO 256MB Graphics card
19in LCD Monitor

With that rig I can pretty much play any current game (Crysis at medium) and with asimple exchange of GFX cards for about £120 in 6 month's time I can upgrade it to play all the games for the next 2 years if need be.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (3.0GHz Clock Speed, 1MB L2 Cache)
ATi Radeon X1950 PRO
2GB DDR2-667

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS AMD64 / Windows Vista x86

Lets see:

- AMD Phenom Quad-core @ 2.66Ghz. (Quad-core @ 2.66 is faster then Dual-core @ 3.00 I believe).

- 3Ghz RAM.

- Nvidia GeForce 8800GT. (Was a 8500GT but upgraded it to 8800GT).

- 750GB HDD (0.75TB HDD)... Not including External 500GB HDD.

Can run games like Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect no problem.
