Research on PCs

[dimidimidimi]

We are developing a 3D point and click adventure game called Sealed Lips and we would like to have some feedback from gamers. Our questions concern the PCs you use to play games. You could be of great help if you answered the following questions.


1) What processor do you use?

2) What graphics card do you use?

3) How much RAM does your computer have?

4) What operating system do you use to play games?

5) Do you think you are going to upgrade your system or buy a new one within the next two years?

6) (If upgrade) What part of your system do you plan to upgrade?


Thank you in advance

[Gfunkera]

Aushor your selling your self short with a celron? You already have a pentium why cripple your computer? If your looking for price check Athlon XPs there much more reliable than Pentuims IMO especially in XP..... You can build your own for as little as 500 bucks providing you reuse your old floppy, cdrom, and video......


Dude I hope your not getting a Dell!

2) GeForce FX 5200 with 128Mb RAM.

3) 1 Gb of 3200 DDR.

4) Windows 2000 with SP4.

5) I upgraded my PC less than 2 weeks ago, but certain parts of it might need upgrading again soon.
