State of my PC nation

Given that I often have the same games installed on my PC over multiple hardware changes I thought it would be cool to capture some screenshots of the games I am playing with it iteration of hardware.

It is also striking the level of detail even older games have when running at resolutions far beyond what is capable on current console generations. The vegetation in the Just Cause shot is a good example of this.

Running with the following specs I captured the below using FRAPS at 1680 x 1050 unless noted:

1.8 Ghz Intel E2160 Dual Core CPU
6 gigs DDR 2 RAM, running dual channel 400 FSB
Radeon HD 3850 graphics
Creative Audigy SB 5.1
Gigabyte P35 motherboard

Antialiasing and v-sync disabled with usually 4x Anisotropic enabled

Age Of Conan 1280 x 768 Graphics set to Low/Medium (click to enlarge)
