Your Pc Specs

commodore, 64k mem @ 7khz... no wait, that's my old one.
amd 1260mhz, not enough ram (1gb?), nvidia geforce mx 4, 250gb hd, dvd-writer, dvd, floppy, zip!, card reader(s), nice lcd monitor, epson cx3200 all-in-one printer, dual-boot (xp pro/linux). and a 4-port usb add-on where i plug a fan and, at xmas time, a usb lit tree.
 
AMD 3800+ X2 939
1.4g ddr ram(my guess is the onboard card is sucking away memory)
on board ATI radeon xpress 200
Windows xp media center/ ubuntu 7.04
250gig sata seagate HD

it's just a stock HP with an extra 512 stick that I took out of an old computer. I want to build my own customized computer, but since this was a gift and it meets all my needs I'll just have to wait until i have the cash and necessity to buy a new one.

I just wish stock boards allowed overclocking.
 
C2D E6700 2.66
4GB PC5300 RAM
2x74GB Raptor HD
24" UXGA LCD
8800GTS
Nice Lian-Li case
Audigy 2, etc.

Vista Windows Experience Index scores:

processor 5.5
memory 5.5
graphics 5.9
gaming graphics 5.9
hard drive 5.9
 
Compared to most of you, my computer (actually a laptop) isn't so great. But it works well for me :D.

Laptop is a Compaq Presario V5115EU
Windows XP SP2 Home Edition
1.8 GHz AMD Mobile Turion 64 ML-32
1 GB RAM
15.4" Widescreen TFT
Broadcom Wireless Airforce One (4318) b/g
80 Gb internal HD, 160 Gb external Lacie Mobile HD (USB powered)
 
CPU: Athlon64 X2 4600+
Mobo: GIGABYTE S3
RAM: 2x 1Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800
Video: GeForce 7600GT 256Mb GDDR3
HDD: Samsung 500GB 7200 16Mb
Optical: Sony NEC Optiarc 18x DVD+RW
Case: Rosewill ATX w/ 500W Stallion Series PSU
Modem: scavenged US Robotics PCI Softmodem
OS: Ubuntu 6.10, soon to be WinXP Pro & Ubuntu 7.04 (or other Linux)

Built it for $497 after rebates. I won't use Vista, at least for a couple of years, and by then I'll probably have some different hardware.

$4000 is a lot of money you do realize you could pay almost two years tuition with that money.

It's OK. It's just that here in Quebec it cost's about 2000 a year for an undergrad degree. That's only if you're from the province though.
 
Man, tuition is nice and affordable in Quebec. You're lucky to get $7000 U.S. per year at a four-year school in Ohio. In-state.

Well, my specs aren't that brilliant now...new computer should be arriving in about two weeks.

P-4 Northfield 2.66 GHz
1 GB PC-2100 RAM (266 MHz)
nVIDIA GeForce MX440 - 128 MB dedicated
120 GB HD
MSI Motherboard (forget the actual model)
2 Optical Drives, so I can leave my Civ3 CD in almost all the time!
16-inch actual display CRT

Still running a 13.8 inch 12-year-old CRT on my old desktop...so Chairman Meow's got me beat there. It also beats my laptop's blazing 75 MHz processor for the time being.
 
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13ghz
2GB ddr2 667 ram
geforce 7600gs
WD 160gb sata
 
E6600
Zalman 9500 heatsink
Gigabyte P35-DS3R
4 G G.Skill F2-6400PHU1- HZ's 800 MHz @ 4-4-4-12
Enermax Infinity 720
XFX 8800GTX - reference card
2 Maxtor 300Gb HD w/20 free Gb's - (Seagate 320 Gb 7200.10 repackaged)
Antec 900

I have my CPU clocked to 3.4 GH with a 9 multiplier for a 380 MHZ FSB.
This lets me run my RAM slightly underclocked in a 1:1 ratio. My MB is known to have a strap change at 400 FSB so I leave my CPU under it. Temps stay around 33C well below stock. I dont think my Zalman is good enough to take this CPU much above 400. At least without lowering the multiplier. Anyway the speed its at makes for a good fast stable system. Does 1 million Super PI in 15 sec.
It seems silly to run RAM with Micron D9(low binned) chips underclocked but Gigabyte put the CMOS jumpers behind the video card. So until I have a better grasp of what all the timings are, I'm not going to be doing too much tweaking. If I screw up I have to take the thing apart.
Fortunately the motherboard in my sig let me piece this together at my pace.
Just to give everybody an idea about price; I spent about $1550.00

And due to the fact the my OS was purchased via MSDNAA I accidentally got Windows XP x64.:wallbash: :hammer2:

Wow being that I only use computer for net and CIv3 on overly huge maps, I must say I like this computer as best perfomance for the price if I'd have to compare all of them.

How does that 3.6 work on past huge sizes civ3 anyway?(like on editer adjusted 200x200 maps or bigger)

I have 3.2 ghz pent 4 and it blazes through AI turns like its nobody's biznaz!. I know amd uses 2.6 to outshine many 3+ intels chips but when comparing other intels GHz is still the way to go to estimate how fast they will play CIv3 (after ram has met 512m without onboard G cards feeding from mem supply)

I wasted more cash to buy dualcore 3.2 and it did nothing to increase civ3 performace but let me play vidoes a lil faster at the same time I guess thar is good but would rather have top notch monocore then average dualcore only cuz of my game prefrences

Anyway I bet this 3.6ghz would cut turns even more were my dual core upgrade failed.
 
For my Virtual Machines:

Processor: Shares the same processor as Host
Ram: Variable Ram
OS: Any x86 OS

CD: Eather an ISO image or uses the host's CD drive (Shown as NECVMWar VMware IDE CDR10)
HD: Variable Disk Image (Shown as VMware Virtual IDE (or SCSI) Hard Drive)
