Commodore's Gaming PCs Revealed


Ghost Recon 2 painted Commodore is indeed back but it's no different from everyone else this time around. DailyTech previously reported that Commodore was expected to make a splash back into the gaming scene by introducing computers targeted specifically towards gamers. The company left the scene more than two decades ago after launching the famous Commodore64. Commodore confirms the reports after it launched its new website and revealed upcoming system specifications. Officially called the Commodore xx, the new flagship system will be based on current off-the-shelf components.

Official specifications include:
Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core processor QX6700: 2.66GHz 8M Cache
ASUS P5N32-E nForce 680i SLI motherboard
2x 150GB 10000 RPM SATA Raid 0 and 2x 500GB 7200 RPM SATA Raid 1 hard drives
4GB Corsair Dominator 2xTwin2x2048-8500C5D memory: 1066MHz
Philips DVD-RW optical drive
1000W ICE Cube power supply
Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
2x NVIDIA 8800 GTX 768MB graphics cards

I would just like to add that It's a great idea! I remember playing on my first-ever computer C64 some legendary games like Laser squad, Ghosts'n'Goblins, Rick Dangerous, Commando etc, etc...
It's really nice to play on PC thinking it's powerfull as much as legendary C64.
Ah... memories come to life with this computer. My first 'bloody eyes effect' happened with C64 and an old TV :-) ... ah, the nostalgia is all around me :-)
