Most of the stuff I do with them, I can do with an old beater, and my office regularly trashes them.

So my current home tower is an old Dell Precision 670 workstation.

it was, however, set up to accept a LOT of memory and a LOT of processor, so via Ebay i put in two processors each of which was 50% faster than the original single processor, 8 gig of memory, and upgraded to Win7. It took some fiddling to get it right, but it seems to be working just fine.

Couple weeks back, while making room in the office for some new equipment, I stumbled on a copy of Doom3. I remember buying it when it came out- but at the time I didn’t have enough computer to run it.

I do now. Sheesh, what a change from the old Castle Wolfenstein days. I know this is nothing compared to the FPS games today, but I remember wasting a lot of time playing it. It will be interesting to see if it is as addicting as it was back then.

No, I can’t actually play the damnedthing, I don’t have reflexes like that. I play in God mode and just wander around and shoot stuff.
