It seems that the majority of players are playing on old systems. Mine is quite old as well and has been upgraded through time. I play on a PIV 3,2ghz + 2go ram + 7800GS AGP + a Samsung SyncMaster 931c (brilliant screen specially designed for games)

I am quite satisfied with it.

Mine's about 2 years old : AMD 3800+ X2 with 1Gb ram and Ti4600. I bought a 16/10 1680*1050 screen about 6 months ago. Upgraded to 2Gb ram for Vista plus a high-end video card (8800GTX).

Notebook - 2 months

Desktop - N/A for the moment. Getting one built for me. I'd post specs but I'd get accused of showing off again.

What do you mean by "how old"? My main system is constantly being upgraded as new parts and money become available. I do have a few other old ones sitting around being used as file servers and such, but they're old PIII and PIV systems.

Now my works computer is a different beast altogether and cost about £10K, but luckily I don't have to pay for it.

Mine is nearing 6 y/o

AMD Athlon XP 1400+ @ 1250MHz
1 GB Corsair
Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti4200 128Mb AGP 8X(massive vidcard considering it's age)
2 x MD 32119 19" TFT @ 1280 x 1024

I must say I'm impressed with how good GW runs on this and all on highest settings

If all goes well I'll be scraping together a new system by the time UT3 is released

2 years old from an indipendant local company, Pentium 4 3.4 HGz.

just rebuild it into a new case adding another 1GB Ram and a Geforce 8800 GTS card.

Will have to last me another 2 years now!

Next on the shopping list is a 20" wide screen monitor, have to buy a new desk first though for it

Screen is prob 2-4 years old

Go on, post it! If you do I'll post the specs of the PC I use for work and take all the flak for you.
