Dudes, Medusa owns a Dell!! Dual Core what the hell??
Hello fellow gamers,
My wife needed a new computer so I decided to get her a Dell for her birthday. Her "tag" name is Medusa by the way:) Earlier today I got home and hooked up with a couple of my friends to play Killing Floor 2.0 a UT2004 mod which is really cool! Then I got the Q-4 itch and hooked up with Almost Human to play a couple of maps that really ended up being a couple of hours!! We couldn't hook up with each other since both of us were missing files from each other and then I thought.. why not just use this new Dell as a server and see how it goes? this thing has a dual core 2.6 processor and a 128 meg ATI card so why not give it a shot. I loaded up Quake 4 did a dedicated server and overall it went pretty good. After playing I crashed for some sleep and got back up and was ready for an experiment that I have been dying to know..how much of a difference does dual core make in Quake 4?? Anyone who really knows me knows that when I can't have everything decked out in a game it just bothers the shit out of me and not able to click dual core in the options screen was doing just that until today that is..
Last week I bashed on consoles well this week I am going to bash PC gaming! I started the single player in Q-4 and found out that anyone who buys a new computer is just basically f*^%ed! On this Dell I couldn't even play the game 1280x1024 in Medium quality without this thing gasping for air. I will be the first to say that I am spoiled with my Alienware and have lost sight what people are really playing these games on! Now I have seen first hand why people are excited about consoles because they are cheaper to start with and easier to setup. When my friend JZ let me borrow his 360 Quake 4 was more playable on that than this Dell! How about dual core you ask??
I finally was able to click yes to that option.. YEEHHAAWWW
and found no difference:(
my thought is.. just go buy the Ageia physx card cause at least you will get Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter for free:) ROFL
My experience with Dell was good and the system had no issues except it was missing the Alien head on the tower! Medusa is happy now and I sat to watch her play her Dell for the first time and watched her play her favorite game Bejeweled 2. She started playing it and flipped out when the game warped to the next level and said " I never seen that before" and she got a big smile on her face since she has a graphic card that lets the portal effect happen now instead of just going to the next level. Then in classic Lord Natas style I replied "You just remember this feeling when I come to you and say I have to run Quad SLI on a game to get the full effect!!"
until next time..
