Sam 45 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I saw a guy selling a 64 with 160 games on ebay, very tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 It's great to see them back.I was a bit skeptical about this, but then I remembered that the C64 is the biggest selling home computer system in history, so Commodore must know what they are doing, especially with their previous business experience and tactics.

I was mainly referring to that era, so sorry for mentioning that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kan' Sharuminar Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 More information hereSome specs:Processor: Intel Core2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700, 2.66 8M CacheMemory: 4 Gb Corsair Dominator twin2x2048-8500C5D, 1066MHzPower Supply: 1000W ICE Cube PSUAudio: Creative SoundBlaster X-FiGraphics: 2x nVidia 8800 GTX 768MBOS: Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate So essentially it's a beast of a machine, designed for the sole purpose of playing games. I like that, though I don't like the paintwork on the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kernel Loaf Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 When did you lose your intelligence?A very long time ago, possibly 1994. Same year Commodore declared bankruptcy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
