How Much Did You Spend on Upgrades Just for MTW 2

[Animosity]

I just bought an Insiron 9400 3 months ago from Dell:
Intel Centrino 2 dual core 2.0 Ghz processor
1 GB 667mhz RAM
Ati Radeon Mobility X1400 hypermemory 256 mb (128 mb is shared with system memory)

When i play a game like MTW 2 the graphics card uses up 128 mb of system memory, bring that down to 872 mb temporarily. This is too low for smooth framerates
So now, only 3 months later...i am going to buy two 1 GB sticks of 667 mhz RAM to install dual channel for roughly $350 Canadian after tax.
Hopefully i can sell the two 512 sticks of ram that i gotta take out!

I didnt spend anything

[Sylver]

Neither did I.

I bought a new monitor though, but thats only because the old one fried.

[Lusted]

£720 for a whole new rig(excluding monitor, keyboard, mouse, scanner, printer). My old pc was way past it and i needed a new one anyway.

[StayingPower]

Well I'd already spent $500 on upgrading for Oblivion a few months ago so nothing. Might get another gig of RAM so I can have 2GB though.

I was willing to spend around $700 to get a completely new computer but SSE is compatible and the Gold demo runs awesome on my system so I'll stick with this and get an upgrade later.

I moved out of home, so now i have no computer (the comp i had at home was the "family" computer )
so, in my new place, i decided i wasn't going to get a new comp. until i heard about M2TW. >
i'm buying a new comp for about 2000 AUD. but i cant say this is totally for M2TW, but that game was my inspiration!

Nothing yet.. I'll dump ~$50USD onto a sound card soon.

Hi there, new to the forums, first post.

On Topic:
I havent spend a penny as of yet although my 7 year old PC is well past it's usefulness so I will be planning on spending £798 Stirling on a new one.

Got a Duel Core 2 e6600
Geforce 7900GS
1 gig ddr2 RAM

Hope that will work, although if I am unlucky I wont get the money for another 3 months
So if I dont get it for that time I might get better value for my money. But if I can I will be getting the above ( It is a whole PC incase anyone was wondering ) and will add another gig of RAM asap.

First post over and out of the way.
Hope to see you more around the forums.

$146.00 US on a ATI radeon 1600 pro 512

Still need to shell out about $2-300 for a AMD 3400 or 3700+ cause as of right now Im on an AMD 64 2800+ at 2 gigs and frames are a bit low on med /high settings.

Im using 2 gigs of ram

Aw, think you could have gone for a 7600GT for that much $$. As for your 2800+, what's keeping you from overclocking? You're probably good for at least 2.2GHz.


..and now this is sounding like a basement thread.

[shadyrome]

why use dell they are crappy lol

Yeah I've had it at 2.2 but it overheats pretty quick .Actualy if I set the multiplyer any higher than around 220 x 9 it gets unstable.

nothing yet... i might just buy an new pair of sorround simulating headphones

[Asean]

Just $168 on a new 7600 graphic card.

[AlfonsoVIII]

$1149 USD on a Athlon 64 4200 X2, 2GB DR800 (PC6400) DDR2 RAM, Foxconn AM2 mobo, Nvidia 7900 GT OC, Case, Hanns-G JW199D 19 inch widescreen monitor.

Haven't spent anything yet. I will upgrade and buy a new computer in preparation for Uni when I have the money and when the new hardware/software is cheaper and more stable.

[Anaea]

Well i'd LIKE to upgrade my pc but right now I don't have the money. So my 4 year old pc will just have to cope 0=) It handles the demo atleast

[Rex Armeniae]

I am thinking of upgrading my RAM Memory, though.
1GB is to little
