New computer on its way. Dual 1gig P3's

[chesty]

Dual 1 gig p3 processors
1 gig of memory, Rimm pc600, 4x256,
nvidiageforce2gts, 32mb DDR, pws420
16Xdvd, 12Xcdrw, w/decod (GEforce/450)Wsx2
Sony 21 inch trinitron monitor
40gigb, ide (ata-66/100)#1, 1", 7200rpm, pws420
win2kpro, service pack 1
256K fullspeed cache
sound blaster Live! 512V, soundcard, pws
acs340 speakers surround
10/100 ethernet card

Yeeeoooowwww!

I will of course be upgrading the video card to a much better one (oxygen or something like that with full on freaky 3D capabiltiy) in near future and getting the DV500pro video capture card as well!

1) how much did it cost you
2) what are you using it for?
the video card it comes with is fine for games, an oxygen implies that you will be doing 3D graphics. there are actually better cards than that, but that one is good (the oxygen varients)

cool...sounds like your new toy will be fun

 

[Kryp2o]

Congrates dude! Were did you get it and how much did they hit you for if you don't mind me asking?

What brand also?

 

[tomcat]

I think IT just moved in my pants....

 

[chesty]

I got it from dell for 5K, yes I plan on doing some intensive 3D graphics and modeling. (typical engineer stuff) I will have to investigate the cards, oxygen was just the one that came to mind.

I will be using it for engineering, a server, and video editing and for photographic work as well as net surfing.

 

[MattTheSkywalker]

will your other components support that much processing power? (ie bus speed?)

Skywalker thinks not.

 

[chesty]

I believe so, it has a 133mhz bus speed and most of my peripherals will have that or more. I need them for their number crunching power due graphics programs and such.

 

[cyberflash]

nvidiageforce2gts is already good ...

why didn't you go for the Silicon Graphics machine ... their bus pipelines were built for real-time 3D graphics

i use IronCAD for 3D solid modeling ... it rocks ...
for volumetric lighting and texture mapping .. 3D studio max

You could run a small country with that thing!!! Damn. Hell at work I just put in for a new 1 gig server with dual pIII @ IGHZ, but that is the company's money!

Damn bro...
