OK, I'll bite on that one. My current PC was built by me in February 2007. The timing was forced because Microsloth had just released Vista and was removing Windows XP from the market soon (they said) and there was a great OEM version of XP Media Center Edition on sale at Newegg. Time to go shopping! I ended up with

Red Logisys Special Edition Dracula Computer Case CS602RD-S, w/ Acrylic Side Window & Handle Bar
Rosewill 600 watt power supply RD 600N-2DB-SL-BK
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard
AMD Opteron 175 dual processor
2 gb kinda quick RAM by some intimidating high class manufacturer
2 x 320 gB Western Digital WDC WD32 00AAKS HD
1 500 gB Seagate ST3500 0AS HD
1  Seagate ST3408 3.5" ATA IDE Hard Drive 40GB (Linux lives here)
Lite-On Combo SOHC-5236K DVD reader/CD RW
CyberDrv CW-058D CD-R/RW
Asus DRW-1814BLT DVD/CD RW
Generic 3.25" floppy drive
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card
EVGA 7600GT video card
Dell 20" 1600x900 flat panel monitor
Creative 5.1 Surround Speaker System
Logitech Click! Optical Mouse
Wacom Graphire CTE-440 Graphics Tablet
Saitek Eclipse II red/blue/purple backlighted keyboard

This is far from the latest system out there but it's been a great and reliable system for three years. I bought it to last 5 years of reasonable service and it looks like it could even go longer than that and not be something to laugh at. I'm at the limit of what I can do with a slot 939 motherboard, so next upgrade is going to have to be motherboard/processor/memory and it'll take some study. I'm happy for now. hura1

A laptop is fine for travelling, and yours looks like it can handle SH3&4, maybe not both at highest graphical setting, but it should be able to play the games.

Windows 7 Experience Assessment Scores scale 1.0 to7.9.

This you write after Windows 7, what does that mean?
MS used to have a pro and a home version, and with Vista some extra versions.
But never heard/read this before. So what is it? A PC aimed for gaming or what?

If you have Vista or Windows 7 installed on your computer
there is a function in the system settings that checks your computer
to see what graphics and speed your machine can handle.
and then installs the items needed.
you can check your assessment at any time by going to your "system"
settings in the control panel and if you like press update to see if all
is working Ok.
1.0 is the lowest score and 7.9 is the highest.
if it was not for my hard drive my score would be 6.4 which is pretty good   j12

I didn't know that. Hmm... interesting. Well, I still have XP on my desktop, and Vista on my laptop. I have Win7 on a dvd for my laptop, but I just haven't got time yet to install it. After my thesis, I had loads of model photos, I had to edit for a very nice girl. I had them postponed since January, and edited a few now and then, but then finished here in May. And now other things have come up. I don't even have time to play anymore... mtzi
