Most of that was from dxdiag, except the last two things. Sorry that is isn't as professional as newegg, but it is just the basics of my system.

[EDIT]
My desktop rig is what I use for gaming, but I can get some decent games on my laptop(WoW, Rappelz, Diablo 2, etc.). It does suck though b/c the sound card on my laptop is blown(litterally, the hardware is fried), so no sound =(

Oh, and for anyone who guessed it, both systems have 1 GB of RAM installed, but I have the shared video memory(onboard memory) turned up to 128 MB, so that is why it is an odd number like so(but gives me 512 of graphics memory on my desktop =)

[Blazer9131]

Ahh Nice.

Pretty decent Desktop build. I'm not very fond of laptop gaming thou, Sucks battery too much =(

oh btw, my processor is overclocked to 3.0Ghz right now. The whole processor was meant to be OC'd

Uhm... maybe if you searched or used the nifty checker when you start a new thread. You would have found a thread exactly the same as this. I started it...

I want a Intel Core 2 Extreme and 8gb of ram.
Other than that I like my computer as it is.

believe that Win XP and most Mobo's support 4gig's at most o.o I'm not 100% sure thou.

8GB is possible. Maybe only on Vista, but I know it is possible(4 slot MB with 4 2GB DDR2 sticks). I've actually seen some computers advertised with 8GB RAM(factory default). They were quad-core PCs though(running Vista).

Hmm I don't know.. but I'm sure Mine doesn't. =O =( but yah..

Yea, after some short research, XP Professional(and therefore home and any previous version of Windows) can only support up to 4 GB of RAM.

However(and this is interesting), Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition supports up to 32 GB of RAM and even more amazingly Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition supports up to 64 GB of RAM.

That is done through some fancy technique that creates small paging files and such. I don't know too much about it, but it does all make sense. If you are running a server, you need a lot of memory. Thus a server OS will support higher RAM capacities.

But yea, 8 GB is just on Vista really. You'd need DDR2 RAM as well(but I think all Vista PCs come with that), and of course 4 memory slots on your motherboard, but if you get those lucky features, you can get 8GB of RAM. Although it seems like a quad-core would be best for that much memory. A single core would not dare handle that much and a dual-core might struggle.
