Celeron...? thats a really bad kind of processor...
Not at all suitable for gaming..IMO

Get another graphic card...Nvidia or Ati...

I agree with t3ice about the processor, I have tried 2 Celerons in my computer before and they are

, and NVIDIA is good.

celeron works just fine, as long as you have a decent graphic card.

Getting a Celeron means you'll kill your graphics cards performance.

WOW THAT'S AMAZING!!!

Oh wait, you won't kill your graphics cards performance because you have shiznit intregrated stuff lol. Really, don't get that shiznit stuff.

My current config:

P III 800 Mhz
256 SD RAM
Nvidia GeForce FX 5200
40 GB HDD
HP DVD -RW

Running on Win XP.

Surprisingly i was able to run NFS Most Wanted though with the tool running which can disable the pretty graphics. motion-blur, particle system, overbright, and shadows, etc.

No It wont.....
It will just f**k-up ur Graphics even more...My cousin's Pc has the same thing and it cant
even run NFS Underground with motion blur.

.....Get another graphic card ..and also trash the Celeron processor
get an Inte Pentium or Dual corel or AMD processor.

Really...I thought MW required atleast 1.2 Ghz processoe or something
And I did check out the dell XPS gen 6....It has cool graphic cards..

Edit : Didnt read the Specs properly

are you calling 4 nVidia 7900GTX working in Quad Sli-config lame???

t3ice · Post by **t3ice** » 22 Aug 2006, 08:15

How did they get 4x 7900 GTX....

I know u can get 4 graphic cards by using 2 7950 because each has piece 2 graphic cards built on it...since the 1 Gb vram.

azzkika · Post by **azzkika** » 22 Aug 2006, 10:11

That bit I don't know. I happened to come across that machine in a magazine review. I did visit the site too but didn't go into much detail. BTW, how much does a PPU cost nowadays??

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 22 Aug 2006, 18:19

oh thanks for the advice, well i can get to things for my birthday and one of those is that comp so should i get the Pentium 4 HT or a nVidia card

azzkika · Post by **azzkika** » 22 Aug 2006, 19:10

If possible both because the Celeron isn't good enough for games and stuff IMO, and the onboard graphics solution wouldn't work much. I'd go with t3ice's advice.

Will Most Wanted work for me?

AMD Ahtlon 64 3700+ 2.2Ghz
1GB RAM
Sapphire Radeon X1900XTX 256MB

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 25 Aug 2006, 15:27

If you have enough HD space, yes it will obviously work. Probably at max setting or NEAR max.

250GB xD

Your only bottleneck will be your CPU...

Strafer · Post by **Strafer** » 25 Aug 2006, 17:03

How come?

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 25 Aug 2006, 20:11

No it won't... FFS TG I'm running it on Barton 2500+ and it's working perfectly with a Radeon 9550 @ 1024x768

vellu · Post by **vellu** » 25 Aug 2006, 21:02

CPU definitely isn't a bottleneck for Most Wanted. I'm running it with an aging AMD XP 2400+ (2.0 GHz) at 1600x1200 flawlessly (all maxxed, except AA which is at first setting from the left; 7800GS 256MB). It's the graphics card that's pushed and yours is well capable of running the game.
