    Default Buying a new computer! Please help!:)

    Would this computer be good for camming? I looked at some of the computer threads and im still confused on what all the specs mean. If you have time to look over the computer specs, i would greatly appreciate it.

    The rule of thumb for HD streaming is i7 processor, 8GB RAM, quad-core.

    That machine will work for standard camming no problem, but if you have solid upload speeds, a high quality webcam, and want to cam smoothly in 1080p or splitcam in HD, find an i7 instead of an i5.

    Of course! I noticed some of the computer threads were outdated. Hopefully we will get some more imput. Its very important purchase when your a camgirl. lol. I just want to make the right decision. I am definatly going back to a desktop. My laptop keeps getting really warm. I did spend about 700 hundred on it. So it wasnt cheap.

    If you're still looking, there's a thread, "Incredible detail computer shopping" or something, not sure of exact title but I know it's by twistedprincess

    Just saying Google the cpu of that $2k alienware. You can find laptops with the same cpu at 25% of the price.


    And fx8350 cpu does 1080p. And split cams Streamate cams chaturbate mfc skyprivate with ease as well again at a fraction of the cost of a i7. High speed ram is just as important to keep the bottleneck at a higher level.

    However waiting until the end of the year Amd Zen launches. 8 core 16 thread cpus. With 40% increase in instructions

    Windows 10 still doesnt have amazing multicore support but it does support multicore.
