MUGEN Empire

I was initially gonna wait till the end of the year to get it when Aion comes out but was like fuck it i cant wait LOL

here's my setup:
Quad Core Q9450
2GB DDR2 1066
Asus P5Q Pro mobo
Radeon 4850 (eventually crossfire 2 of em)
Seagate 500 GB HD
SB Audigy
Antec 900 Case
Coolmaster Real Power 550W (dnt let the watt rating fool u, this PSU is badass)

will add pix soon

I hope you're putting XP on that rig with only 2gb of ram >_> 64bit operating systems aren't so bad anymore if you're going up to 4+gb, most manufacturers have rolled out proper drivers.

other than that though, looks pretty sweet :3

LOL ofc i got XP on it......Vista is still garbage for gaming IMO. If i was gonna go with Vista, i would have opted for 4 GB of ram

i have yet to run 3Dmark on it......but when i do, ill post up my score

I dunno, it kinda makes me sad to see a quad core processor yet only two gigs of memory. Why not XP x64 if you're anti-vista? Regardless of your ram speed, that's still gonna be a bit of a bottleneck.

lol cuz im too cheap to go for XP x64......i have an XP CD at home so i just used that instead

is the performance really that noticable?

Depends on what you're doing I guess... FFXI takes more out of your CPU and graphics card than it does RAM (and in big events [dragon's aery] it still lags even on today's powerhouse PCs), though newer games like AoC tend to be more prone to memory leaks (and have bigger textures/more complex models, but that's tied more to graphics) and thus need as much ram as you can stuff in there.

'course, if you only have a usable XP x86 key, then yeah it's probably best to stay with what you've got for the time being. I'm just seeing more and more 64 bit systems on the market lately I guess.
