What one should a buy?

I have decided on a PACKARD BELL iXtreme X5620. Not sure what one I should go for though.

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/ ... ktop-pc-04092355-pdt.html

Or

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Packard- ... s&hash=item2eae28448a

I know they are Refurbished but they both come with a 1 year RTB Warranty, the only reason I'm stuck for choose is because 1 is from PC World and I have always purchased stuff from them and they have always been very good (possibly to expensive) The other is from a company I have never heard of before. But it is £50 cheaper than PC World.

If any of you have any alternate suggestions on what to buy form the same price, I’d be interested to know
Thanks

[QUOTE=mrodgers;1448538]Wait 2 months, then play the latest game that just came out.

Is that 9800GT from your old computer?

Thanks for the reapplies

Yes that is the 9800 gt from my old system. My old system is around 5 years old as stated, but I can still play games that are new, most of them I can max out as well. So the 2 month thing isn't really a valid point.

New System?

Ok first of, I know this should probably be in the Hardware section, but hardly anyone goes there. When I’ve got a load of responses any mod fell free to move it there

Ok, can someone explain what is meant by "Entry Level" computers and how the hell they come to that decision?

I currently have:

Windows 7 32bit OS
AMD Althron X64 3800+ (Dual Core) 2.0GHz 512klb Cache
2048mb of Single Channel 400Mhz DDR ram (2x 512 1x1024)
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT 512mb of dedicated DDR3 ram
120 GB standard Hard Drive (NOT SATA)

So by today’s standard this is a crap system (excluding the 9800GT) probably won’t even be classed as "Entry Level". However, on the system I can run Crysis on max settings at 1280 - 1024 and DX10 at around 20 - 25 FPS. That’s not magical, but its playable and for an old system I think it's brilliant.

This is the new system I have just got:

Windows 7 64bit OS
AMD Athlon II X2 240 (2.8Ghz, 2MB Cache)
2048MB Dual Channel DDR3 ram (2x 1024)
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT 512mb of dedicated DDR3 ram
320GB (7200rpm) SATA Hard Drive

This is my point, this new system I have just got was only £299 and is classed as an "Entry Level" system, but the specs of this system are superior to that of my old one. So it should run crysis at 40+ fps on max settings? If so what's the point in spending so much more on a gaming system when you don't really need to?
3ds Max LFS Scenes (FULL SET)

All wanted were the LFS cars converted into 3ds max Scenes so that I could get down to some 3D rendering.

I’m posting this manly because no where could I find any links that were up to date, or hadn’t been removed. I could also see a large number of people on the forum having the same problem. I also found out that CMX importer for 3Ds max only supports versions 6, 7, 8. So this was a no go as I have 2010 addition.

It took me ages to find this site, so to save others the trouble I’m posting up the link. It has all the LFS cars converted into 3ds max scenes + loads of other stuff on the site.

Hope this help some people

Quote from NitroNitrous :About the discussion about Audi R8 vs Porsche 911.... You guys must understand that who buy a 911 buys it because it is a 911, despite of the weight distribution problems or any other advantage of the Audi R8. The 911 is a legend, an automotive icon, and we love it as it is, we don't care if it's the best or the worst car in the world.

Quote from Velociround :I guess I'm the only person here who actually prefers the new layout to the old one... it's much better, simpler and they have fixed some bugs of the old layout. I really like it. And there were some things I didn't know of before taking the page tour, which I also liked.

I agree, overall it's much better and as you said, lots of the bugs have been fixed.

Hey guys,

I was wondering how you manage to open CMX files in 3Ds Max 2010. The CMX plug-in you can get for max doesn’t work on 2010, only 6, 7, 8 and you can't just load the files straight up into it.

I'm aware that all the cars on LFS have been converted into Max files, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. So if anyone has them, or has a link that would be great.

I have searched and looked, but could not find anything.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Apparently it's fixed, but Sony won't say how, seems there's a few annoyed people out there who think the software should have been up to scratch

Sony wont say how they did it because they didnt do anything....... the playstation reconfigerd it's self at midnight Monday to a reconised date. Hense why it lasted 24 hours.
Think about it, why did it affect offline systems as well...... hummm.

Retardness does not get you through an intersection at 100 mph and live to tell about it, definately luck. But your are right, he or she does not deserve to drive.
