it hardly is able to function and it was almost impossible to work on my 3d art but today i went and picked myself up a custom built computer it'll be ready on monday, im gonna go get a copy of ut3 and crysis so i can finally work on those engines :P i was stuck with hammer because it was the only thing i could run on this piece
im also gonna be able to focus more on my sculpting 
here are the specs:
-AMD PH-8750 TCore 2300 3.5m BX95w
Asus M3A78-CM AM2+780 2xPCI-E/1PCI-E 16X,4D.DDR2-1066
- I recieved 8 gb PC6400 800MHZ Ram
- Seagate 500GB SATA 3G 32MB 7200.9 Hard Drive

woot im so happy!Im not happy because of the computer im just really happy because i will be able to do more elaborate things with my art now that i have a system that can handle 2 programs at a time and doesent take 10 minutes to load up photoshop when 3ds max is open

New Hardware is always king.

- 4GB of RAM DDR2 of course, PC2 6,400+ 800MHz
Upgrading too
- 8GB of RAM DDR2 PC2 9,200+ 800MHz (no point going higher, too expensive even with a major discount)
- Nvidea 8800 GTS 640MB
Upgrade too
- ATI 4850 Toxic Edition 512MB
- Physx Acclerator (Yes my computer doesn't really require it due to the GPU already having it installed, but for a £10 i think its great).
- Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache 7,200RPM (X2 = 1TB in RAID)
Most probebly getting a AKASA Hard drive cooler for both (i like max performance)
I'll be getting a Quad Core clocked at 2.8GHz and a new CPU Cooling device, but still not sure about what models i'm getting...
How much did your computers cost by the way? Curious to where you might of bought from.
I am REALLY looking forward to it, sounds like a really performance machine...
CRYSIS VERY HIGH HERE I COME!!!! Grats by the way on the new computers people
