[Ragnarok-X]

I bought my current computer in February 2003, which is more than 3 years ago. Back then i spend about 1200 €, about 1400 (?) US $. Up until now, i added 512 MB ram (now 1024), exchanged graphics once (GF 4800 TI -> GF 6600) and bought a second harddrive (120 > 120 + 160). Additionally, i bought a dvd-burning-capable drive.
So, to sum it up, i spent about 50 + 300 + 90 + 40, a total of 1400 + 480 $ to get a top system.

As of now, i can play every game, with decent solution (1024x768 / 1280*1024, both with 32 mb texture depth).

- Empire at War
- F.E.A.R.
- HL 2
- Need for Speed: Most Wanted
- AoE 3
- DoW

So, i basicly cant agree with Atrocities. I spend about 1850 $ in 3 years, and got myself countless hours of enjoying games, not mentioning being able to watch countless movies and tv series, and, to make it better, surf the internet and do certain work online.
For me, since im spending a LOT of time in front the computer, this is a good investment, and definitly worth the trouble.
One thing im missing is a proper soundcard. I think i will get an Audigy ZS 2 soon.
