How many of you have OLD rigs still running as your main box and not a "fileserver or some bs ?
What is your OS and how does it run and the last kick *** major game you played.
Did that game play well enough that you enjoyed it ?
I Have an XP2800+ with a gig of DDR400 and a 128mb 8500LE (soon to be a 7600gs) and it runs vista pretty well, It also played F.E.A.R. well enough with stuff turned way down, I am gonna redo it when my 7600 gets here this week. Quake 3 was fun too, and I prob will do bioshock on here, but when crysis gets here, it may be time to put 'er down.
I have had this for about 5 years and it has played everything, I did upgrade in about 2003 due to the bad cap fiasco and am running an skt600 sestup, it still is fast enough, except encoding.

I still use my system I built in college in 2004. I just recently played Medal of Honor Airborne, and this is the first time I experienced any major slowdown issues since I upgraded from my Radeon 9600xt my framerate in MOHA goes as low as 15fps. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to extend the life of this system just 6 more months? I was considering upgrading my video to the radeon x1950pro, but i am worried that it may not have any substantial effect.

From the charts 1600 pros are dogs, I was going to get one and settled on a 7600gs instead, shoulda got a gt, but 80 was all I was gonna spend.
