/comp/ - Gaming on an AMD 4200+ X2

Name: 043 !sA3zk8HLPA 2006-05-23 10:26

I'm buying this rig for gaming (BF2, WoW, HL2/CS:S) and I'm reading stuff online saying that BF2 has problems with SLI *and* the X2 line (some saying it won't run on X2 at all).

Should I be worried?

Other notes: I plan on pushing the 4200+ to 2.7Ghz. 2x 512MB GeForce 7900GTX, 2GBs of RAM, 680 Watt PSU, XP MCE, Liquid Cooling CPU Fan.

My advice is not to be worried over incompatibilities with one damn game.

I don't see why you could not simply tell BF2 to only use 1 CPU.

It goes in my fucking asshole, goddamned FHS bullshit. I install software "packages" in /Software , , unless I'm forced to do otherwise, and this is not a gay prefix or a box of shit but a directory with subdirectories like Thunderbird, DDD, etc.

I wish I could buy the time you waste for myself, I'd put it to a better use.
