Sorry I just copy and pasted what was in dxdiag :P.

Please tell me your thoughts :D

Oh and im switching my primary to WoW.

Plus... the only reason i'm getting this is because I was outbidded on a 9800pro that was the same price on ebay. (He bid when there was 3 seconds left after I bid >.<)

EDIT: Made the paste short (about half of what it was :P)

[JAGeScimitar]

wow super copy and paste.

Good choice i suppose. Id say maybe 1/4th of the clan will actually know something about it.

[Pimpy]

Things you just posted is nothing I need to know if your comp is good.

I need to know the motherboard , the ram type DDR 400? DDR 333 ?

[JAGeDocJay]

Is this a home made or bought? If its a bought one, like a dell, you can just goto their site and find your pc there and it will tell you what Ram you have.

You will want to get another 512 of ram minimum. It wil make your WoW playing oh so much better.

[Infinity]

Thinking about adding this ->
