Show off your crappy old rigs because you are too poor to get a good pc.

 

I have a crappy 2009 Dell. The only thing I've done to it is get a 1TB HDD and 2GBs more of ram.

 

Specs:

 

Core 2 Duo

Crap Integrated GPU

1TB HDD

4 GB of ram

 

I use it for "gaming" and by that I mean spending hours modding the hell out of games so I may be able to get them to run at 30 FPS.

 

My biggest achivement if getting Skyrim to run at 30+ FPS on Medium on a good day.

PC SPECS: Athlon 860k, MSI 380 4GB, 8GB memory, 1TB HDD, Fractal Design Core 1000

I used to have a "desktop" HP with a laptop APU, specifically the AMD E-450, I used that for gaming (Or at least I tried) for a solid 3.5 years. FFS it didn't even have a power supply, it used an external power brick. But that's what a 11 year old me gets when you spend $300 on a prebuilt.

My PC: See sig

My laptop: I7-4710MQ with GTX 765M and 16GB of RAM <3

 

Laptop is used for rendering, modelling, coding and gaming, gift from my parents for university. I so wish it had the 965M though

 

The worst I ever had that was actually bad was 4GB of 1333MHz ram but even that is not bad

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

It's better than intergrated graphics and I can play games a little better, but it's amazing.

I can at least play stuff like Skyrim and Mirror's Edge now.

 

For comparison, I did a small benchmark with a system my brother has, with and without that Quadro.

I have never seen anyone run 3d mark on a quadro.

Your rig is pretty unique i must say.
