Poll What Are Your Computer Specs

What are your computer specs, and if you had to make your computer differently, how would you change it?

I’m on a VERY limited income, so this is the best I can do for now. It’s OLD, but really does what I need it to. There are some AAA tiles that I can’t play, but I also save a bunch of money buying games that are 3-4 years old.Here it is:ASUS P7P55-M MBi7 870 (3.6 GHz) w/ Rosewill coolerCrucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer (8GB DDR3 @ 1600)MSI R6970 Lightning GPU (2GB)Corsair 750W PSURosewill RISE Glow case.Yamaha receiver w/ Creative z-5500, Bose 301 Series II, and Polk Audio RTi 38 speakers with a Cerwin Vega Center Channel.Razer Black Widow Keyboard & DeathAdder Chroma MouseLG internal Blu-Ray & External DVD.Windows 7 (64 bit) & Windows XP (Dual Boot).3 monitors (Not for gaming) & 2 T.V.’s.I have a second computer with similar specs connected to this one through ethernet and TeamViewer – Access your computer remotely and share your desktop with friends – it’s free for personal use!, but it’s mostly used for storage (4 TB) and near constant P2P.This build started with E-Bay, and bidding 40.00 on a motherboard with an i3 550, and 4GB of RAM. I won. I didn’t expect to. Now what? I already had a GPU, PSU, Keyboard, Mouse, and storage. I was worried that Windows would not activate on a second computer, but it did (Guess they don’t care anymore). Bought a cheap, but kind of nice, case & CPU cooler for about $100.00. Everything was working fine but the i3 was just too slow. Found the i7 870 a few months later on E-Bay for $80.00. Much better. Then swapped the 4GB generic RAM for 8GB of Corsair. Didn’t notice much of a difference, but it lights up, so…Yay. So this is it…I know…Wire management! I was changing things up so often, I gave up. There’s a TV to the left, and a monitor in the kitchen (Mirroring main display) also connected.5 years ago, this would have been a fairly high end build. All in all, it cost about 250.00 bucks to build a second computer with an old i3 & 4GB of RAM as “backups”.What would I change? I HATE Micro ATX motherboards. I miss Sata III the most. USB 3.0 would be nice. DDR4 is not so important to me. What I want to add is a RX580, or GTX 1060. Anything more would be pointless with a i7 870, and even those are going to occasionally bottleneck it. Probably add an additional 8GB of RAM if I can find a really good deal on it. If not, it’s not paramount. Going to add an old Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum today that I have somewhere… Because… Why not?

What kind of computer do you have and what specs?

I will be concise and give you the full, long listing that is more than you probably ever wanted:core i7 4790k, 20gb DDR3, 240gb 950 evo, 3TB Enterprise HDD, GTX970x2 in SLI (Primary Desktop)core i5 2500k, 12gb DDR3, 240gb Sandisk SSD, 1TB HDD, GTX285 (Secondary Desktop)Now the fun:Dell Poweredge 2850, 4gb RAM, 6x300gb SCSI 10k RAID (NAS, presently retired due to inadequate space for the noise)Athlon IIX2 260, 4GB RAM, 2x2tb data pool, 160gb system drive, onboard graphics (present, quiet, NAS)IBM PS/2 Model 35 in a model 50 case, 16MB RAM (system can only use 12 but recognizes full 16) 512MB IDE HDD, DOS/Windows 3.1 with DirectAccess. (Retro gaming PC, we think is was a custom or developer system originally as the entire system is IDE/ISA with nothing proprietary.Socket 370 800mhz, basic graphics, 256MB RAM, 40gb HDD, Windows 98SE. (Custom scratch-built 9x gaming system)Slot 1 500MHz Pentium II, 512MB RDRAM800, 60GB HDD, currently in search of a working AGP Card to finish build. (Windows XP or 2000 system)No I am not trying to show off, it has taken years and a lot of care to acquire the collection. I understand the answer is outside of the scope of the questions wording (computer not computers). And yes I am very aware that I have a problem. Believe it or not I have several systems headed for the recycler tomorrow.

How do I read computer specs?

Specs can get as complicated as you want it to be, and what's considered "good" changes as technology improves. Sometimes the best way to learn about hardware is to build your own system. I wouldn't expect you to, but the next best thing would be to read up on how to build a computer to understand the components.Ask yourself what's important - cost, weight, size, laptop vs. desktop, general performance, gaming performance, power consumption. And start looking around manufacturer websites and use their product comparison charts.Hard drive space is for long term storage. The bigger the hard drive, the more files you can store (music, porn, cat videos, et al).The two biggest components that will give you the best overall system performance is an SSD and a large amount of RAM. SSDs are more expensive than hard drives, so if you want a large hard drive, you can get a system with both installed. For RAM, 4 GB is typical but 8 GB would be better.From there, you can read sites like AnandTech.

How do I check my computer specs?

How I check my computer specs on Windows 10?As the resident ‘computer guy’ amongst my family and friends, that’s a question I’ve been asked a lot.It’s the kind of thing that looks really complicated to people with limited experience on a PC – but the process of working out your PC specs is actually really easy.There are a couple of different ways you can easily do this, I have written these out below and have also included a helpful video that shows you step by step how to find your computer specs.What Are My PC Specs VideoTechnique Using System InformationMove your mouse into the bottom left corner of your screen and right click on the Windows button.A toolbar is going to appear that looks like this, next you need to left click on the one that says “System”.The “Settings” window will pop up – this is what we’re looking for.Stay on this window and scroll down until you see the “Device specifications” heading.This is where you’re going to be able to see some useful bits of information about your system like your processor power, RAM and what system type you’re rocking.See! I told you it was easy! The only problem is that this way might not show you all the information you need – for a bit more info you’ll need to use the second technique I’m going to show you.Technique Using ‘dxdiag’Firstly, move your mouse into the bottom left corner of your screen and left click on the Windows button.Don’t click anything else, just type “dxdiag” and your PC will automatically start searching for what we’re looking for.Under best match, there is going to be an option to click on “dxdiag” and run the command.
