hitchface's PC Profile
Vitals
| My PC's Name: | The Aviator |
| Date Built/Last Mod: | November of 2006/August 2008 |
| Building PCs for: | 3 to 4 years |
| Future Plans: | I made this system with the ability to upgrade in mind. SLI ready, 8 gigs of RAM supported, AM3 ready, and plenty of room to work with. Now I realize that SLI isn't worth my time, and that C2D would have been a better option. However, I am still AM3 ready, which is comforting.
Mobo upgrade and more RAM, for sure. |
| Purpose of My PC: | Games and work...meaning lots of first person shooters and marketing. |
| Internet Connection: | Fast. |
| Furniture: | On the desk, where it belongs. |
| Where I Shop: | Memory Express
NCIX Tiger Direct |
