Hiya All!
I'm new to the community, and actually, a newb to the PC world also. Apologies go out to everyone, I've spent the last 10 or so years living on a Mac (sorry). Now the computing world is opening up, and the wool has been pulled away from my eyes. On to the questions that Apoptosis suggested...
- How did you find the forums? A couple of people that I know and value their opinions and knowledge told me to get my tail to LegitReviews.com...
- Are you an Intel or AMD Fan Boy/Girl? Can't really say I'm a Fanboy (yet) but I am running AMD
- What type of gaming are you into? Haven't gotten into the gaming (YET!) on the comp, but on the 360 I play First Person Shooters, and driving games...
- Are you an overclocker? Not yet, but I definitely plan on it. I have my GPU OC'ed slightly over stock right now. MUST HAVE MORE POWER
- What system are you running?
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1055t 2.8GHz (stock now, but oh boy! can't wait to see what it can do!)
CPU Cooler: Stock (for now...hehehehe)
Mainboard: ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO
GPU: Sapphire 5770 Vapor-X
RAM: 8GB (2GB x 4) G.Skill 1600 DDR3, with G. Skill Turbulence cooler
Hard Drive(s): 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM, 1TB Seagate Barracuda
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W
Chassis: Thermaltake Element G mid tower
OS: Dual-boot Win7 64-bit/Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
And I enjoy sunsets, long walks in the park, and the first cut in a fresh sheet of construction paper.
