Title: Hey Everybody
Post by: linearbit8 on September 05, 2008, 01:02:31 PM
 Hi, my name is Adam, and I'm new to Fites. I would have gone to the last LAN, but I was waiting for some new comp parts. I have installed and tested everything, so all should go smooth. I got a score of 13000 in 3Dmark vantage, so my comp should handle most things. Anyways, I'll see you on the 20th

Post by: linearbit8 on September 05, 2008, 02:08:07 PM
I'm manly play FPS on my PC, everything else I play on my PS3 or 360. My favorite FPS's right now are Unreal Tournament 3, STALKER, FEAR, and Counter Strike Source. I like other genres, like Adventure, Strategy, and Racing. I'll play just about anything.

I'm running vista, and it's a pain to install and run. So I'll be skipping that one.

I never play C&C either so a few of us will probably play something else. 
Umm right now we're looking to gather up a few more peeps for this coming LAN so invite some of your friends that might be interested in this type of thing!

Well so far I'm aiming for having the most out of date system, especially in the graphics region. I can't play UT3 or GRID with more that 5-6 FPS.

If your friends have worst machines than mine, well, we can play Starcraft and Counter-strike while other people overheat the room.

I have a laptop with an AMD 450 Mhz proc and 384 Megs of RAM.  I think that definately qualifies as worse than your system.  I also have a server with 2 9 Gig SCSI drives, a 350 Mhz Intel PII, and 256 Megs of RAM, and it weighs at least 50 lbs.

Somewhere I have an old 386 desktop, with the orange text only moniter. That might win the contest.
