Puget Systems Dual Core Custom

Sidney · 17th November 2005, 16:54

Can $2600 get you a dual core processor, 2GB of RAM, a top-end video card, and backing from a quality company? We ordered a custom-built high-end computer from Puget Systems and subjected it to our systems evaluation program.

another confirmation that DC AMD has issues with certain games :/

"Speaking of the latest software, we recently changed around some of the games we use in our evaluation. Gone are Doom 3 and Half-Life 2; we have replaced those games with Quake 4 and F.E.A.R."

and they left out HL2, they might find source engine games to act up also

If so, AMD and the Game companies don't seem to correct the issue as DC AMD has been out for quite some time.
