How KICK-ASS is your computer?

[BrothaBill]

Aww, the glorious life of a palestinian, being so frustrated with life and its possibilities to pick up a stone and throw it at the goliath. They need hope and they need leaders. Could you imagine standing and humiliated by Israeli security guards in 30C summer heat for four hours just to go to work and provide for their family.
In Detroit Humantarget said that a guy killed three people and when the cops asked him why did he kill three people, he said "...b/c its too damn hot!!!" Now thats fucking hot. I know Ive been there, Hell, Michigan that is, grew up there, born in Dearborn the home of the largest muslim community now in the US. What the solution to all of this, no one listens to me

You forgot the option of:

Computer??? I ain't got shit! I gotta use the one at work!

512 RAM
1600 mgHz
40 gig HD

its about 2 years old.

still have a 19" CRT as well

shit video card.. GeForce2

I have a GeForce2 in our 2nd PC. I was using that computer up until this past Feburary when I built the 2.4ghz. The 2nd PC has an AMD950 and 1gb ram.

The 2nd PC hasn't been online in a while. I need a wireless card for the laptop and a wireless router so I can put the 2nd PC back online with an ethernet cable instead of having that cable plugged into the laptop.

The 2nd PC has a 14" moniter that is probably 8 years old. It works so I'm not complaining.

I'm actually looking at dell for a new PC for some time in the future.

This is my current set up. Can't believe it's still working on Windows 98.
400mhz P2 100 FSBus
128m ram
10g HD

I added 1 or 2 128`s to the ram at a later date. Not sure how many. Bought it in 1997? roughly (don't start calling me out on that asscollectors). for about $3500 with a 19 inch monitor and a few programs etc...

One question.. What's the difference between a Intel P4 or M processor? Which is better to go with?

I've been looking at P4 or PM 3ghz 2gRamm 19 inch montior 256 video card, 160 HD ... roughly $1500.

Pentium M or p4? and what the hell is Dual core blah blah...

If you've already got a moniter you plan on using, you could build a computer with those specs cheaper. It's really not hard either.

Wait, I'm saying this to GL.....nevermind.

WTF?? It is PLAIN WRONG to have a computer thread and not PM me about it, you mofos!!!



Anyway,

I built our home system:

- AMD (yeah, fugg Intel) Athlon 2800+, 2,25 GHz, 333 FSB
- 1 Gb RAM
- 2x80 GB 7200 S-ATA HD for Operating System, in Mirror Configuration (Raid 0)

Pintoca, mirror = raid 1
stripe set w/o redundancy = raid 0

i have the hotness inside (AMD 2800+, gig of DDR ram etc) but i put it inside of a 7 year old tower, lol. when people see they think i can only run DOS. it so funny cuz they always think it's a POS but then i show my specs and they are like "ho damn!"

lol Nice try bro. Let's not forget who you're talking to here. That is a good system though, right? The HD was 250, not 160. No big deal. 19 inch flat panel... too.

Personally I don't understand some people's obsessions with computer cases. I've had to buy 2, one for my last PC and then the new one. I got el cheapo cases with 450w power supplies and the ability to add more case fans.

I had to add an extra case fan to the AMD950. That bitch ran HOT, even when it was sitting in the same room as the AC. I have a cabinet in the desk for the PC and I had to leave the door wide open at all times with the AMD box or it'd overheat. I had to get a new heatsink/fan combo for it too, with dual fans. Even then it still ran really hot, but everyone's told me older AMDs had that issue.

The new PC runs a lot cooler. I think there was a case fan in it already (can't remember, not opening it to find out), and over the heatsink there's a "tunnel" that vents to the outside of the case to help keep the processor cool.

I spent less than $40 on each case. The only problem I've had is the power supply in the first one died after a month but it had a 1 year warranty.

Is anyone else so nerdy that they stripe their usb pen drives?
