    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 896MB ... only 1? You'll need 2 in SLI mode and you can possibly do 320x240 with shadows disabled.


    ...but seriously yes that will be more than enough to play this 8 year old game.

    Too heavy. Swap out unnecessary parts and reduce to 35 lbs.

    I feel like a complete idiot. Good catch, Purest.

    you might want you extend your warranty so that when you get crushed playing tribes and smash your tower you'll have something to fall back on.

    Does anything other than indie games run in 320x240 anymore? It's almost getting hard to find 640x480 nowadays.

    Switch the blue lighting for red; Tribes does not like the color blue. It makes it angry.


    Seriously, that setup will be far more than enough to run this.

    Looks like she'll do. If all you're looking for is a system to run Tribes 2 with, it's total overkill.

    Oh nevermind, I guess that one's just $999. Looks like he copy/pasted from here:

    When the first gigabyte hard drive was released, I remember saying: "It'll take forever to manufacture a drive with 1 terabyte of storage capacity". Now I'd like to take this opportunity to say: "It'll take forever to manufacture a drive with one petabyte of storage capacity".

    They're predicting by 2010-2011 for the first PB hard drive, and it'll cost $750

    How are the masses going to fill such a space? Fibre optics where are you?!!!!
  • kamishizukakamishizuka
    Robert's Law: no matter how large the hard drive, it will eventually be filled

    There's a few exabytes of stuff on the net right now, iirc
