    Hi all,

    Just wanted to create a new thread to ask you all what your PC Configuration was (i.e. Mobo, Processor, RAM, Graphics Card, HDD, etc) and what your Games Settings were (i.e. Direct X 7 or 9, resolution, average FPS/Ping, etc).

    I can't do this myself at the moment as I am currently building a new rig and my IBB connection is fooked (no surprises there then!).

    Right lads! I've been awfully quiet lately due to the fact that I sold my old gaming rig (needed cash after buying a motorcycle) and because my crappy IBB connection just kept getting worse ansd worse...
    BUT, I missed playing CoD so much that I decided to get a new rig, new monitor and a new broadband connection! Details below:

    New PC:

    DFI LanParty 915P - T12 Chipset MoBo

    Samsung DVD/RW 16x
    Samsung CD/RW 32x
    3.5” Floppy
    5 x 80mm fans

    New monitor:

    Diagonal Size: 20" - widescreen
    Dot Pitch / Pixel Pitch: 0.258 mm
