I now have a new computer, which is about 1,000,000 times better than my old one!

3GB (shall be upgraded soon) DDR2 ram
Nvidia 8800GT (which I overclocked alot)
two 320 GB HDs

Impressive boot system Marcus.  ;)

In a year or two I hope to build a PC from the ground up with some new hardware.

Yes, the only reason mine isn't custom built is because I am at collegeish age and my parent's wouldn't trust me enough to build it right (even though I KNOW I could)

SO  :-/

But once I get in college I'm totally going to build myself a smexy rig.

15" laptop

intel core2 duo t8100 running 2.1GHz
2Gb DDR2 RAM
Nvidia 8400M G 512Mb dedicated RAM

yeah, a slightly above par laptop, runs oblivion/fallout 3 on medium graphics, but cant cope with particle effects at all *grumble*Arma2*grumble*

Looking to build myself a low grade i7/DDR3 rig once I get the money (by wich time DDR3 RAM and compatible motherboards should be reasonably priced)

lol DDR4 by 2012 :|

My dad must be more laid back then, I'm 16, and I've set up the entire house network! (well, not the cabling, my dad laid that years ago.)

My dad is the main worker at the IT dep. of a university. He actually got ME into tech, then I went with it and sometimes know more about hardware than him.

It's actually pretty sweet. The IT guys that work with him give stuff to us sometimes. We got a awesome server sitting over here, but I have yet to try to plunge into hosting games and the like with it.

My dad got me into tech as well, except that his knowledge is about 10 years out of date now. So as far as modern tech goes, I know more than him. :P
