Intel 233 with 128 megs of ram
I like my computers like I like my women - slow enough to catch! |

It's in my sig. I need to upgrade badly because I like always having a good CPU speed. Sure 2.53 ghz is fast but 3.2 ghz is even better :
Hp Pavilion 2.53 Ghz 512 Ram 80 GB harddrive ATI 9200 video card Sound Blaster Audigy LS soundcard Realtek NIC Accoustic Authority 3.1 speakers Optical mouse I have 3 other computers Daewoo 550 Mhz 64 Ram 10 GB HD onboard video and sound and NIC HP Pavilion 333 Mhz 128 Ram 8 GB HD Onboard video and sound 56 k modem no NIC and finally a custom one 100 Mhz 8 Ram 0.5 GB HD Onboard video and sound 56 K modem |
My main Linux system is in my sig.
For gaming ive got a 3 gig P4 with 512 megs of KHX, ATI radeon 9800XT, 80 gig WD hard drive, CL audigy gamer sound card and 500 watt PSU. Ive got a music system I just built using slack, Its got 350mgz amd, 200 megs of ram and a 8 gig hd. and Ive got a win 98 system, 1 gig amd athlon, 128 mb ram and a 30 gig hd. |
Fisrt of all...a little note for PC newbs who want to try to show off, PRE-BUILD COMPUTERS MANUFACTURED FROM ANY COMPANY WITH $H*T INCLUDED, SUCKS!...Build your PC, and you way better off
2nd tip, CASH = GOOD(1Meg L2 or bigger, that P4 stuff, hasent got it) just cause its 2.0 GHZ, doesn't mean it WILL own a 3.2 or up. Clock speed doesn't mean anything. (by the way FSBs are up to 1.6GHZ now) 4 DIMM slots, DDR400 3200+ @1 gig of corsair makes you computer the shizzle. Last tip, pay for raptors, hear NOTHING, feel EVERYTHING...and im talking POWER BABY YEAH!.... more tips to come (dual processors = nothing, except $$ loss). |
Just follow the link in my sig. :)

As for me, it is a far safer route for me to buy a pre-built turnkey system then to try and build one myself. The slightest problem with a processor, or video card, or capture card, could cause hell for my movie. When you do a capture it puts a lot or information through the bus, and if there is a problem...I would risk losing frames or worse. I cannot simply worry about why my computer is not working when I have to produce a final product for a client. Now if I was going into the gaming route, well then who cares if I miss a night of Quake 3 (or whatever the heck you kids play anymore...cant keep up :p ) to fix a computer error. At any rate for me it is cheaper and far more profitable if I just buy a pre-built...the very most I would do is what I have done with my Dell, and upgrade the heck out of a machine, but that is because I am desperate and broke.

Sigh....
well, that was an interesting post. If you want a good system, i would recommend www.ibuypower.com, and unless you work with CAD, (visual graphics program, minimum of 1 gig RAM, big programs for companies, use P4...more reliable in uncontrolled space...heated areas and such.) OTHERWISE you want AMD to do things quick, simple and cheap. No major company, like dell (which includes aol, those who don't know, aol is the worst ISP on the market, it provides you with spyware, (those of you who don't know, spyware = bad...some1 thought it was a cool thing.....NO!). but anyway.
Side note, Nice system macskeeball, Im unfirmilliar with MAC computers, but if you like the sweet-ass GUI and visual tools, nice system... Quote:

Im impressed 10 custom builds,,,, WOW!!
That only puts you 6 behind my 10 year old, but he dont badmouth other peoples choice in computers or games, Speaking for me, I use a branded laptop and like many posters here I have built so many systems that I dont keep count, but let me put it this way 10 systems, that would be 1 or 2 days work, (not including burn in time) 3 words m8, help, guide & encourage.... dont criticise its not how did you put it "not 1337" Remember this, not everybody has the same taste or ideas as you! @ diablo111 & The Mods I must apologise for going off topic but that tirade of abuse above offended me. Once again, my apologies for going off topic. Here are my machines..

I prefer to buy a either a new computer, or a newer used computer and upgrade it. I know that if I buy froma computer manufacturer that generally most of the parts will be working fine with each other and that I will not have too many hardware conflictions. As for your age it is obvious that you are sixteen by your very childish posts. This is a forum for discussing issues about Linux (and in the case of this particular section, anything else), not flame-baiting other members. As for me I am twenty. The majority of my friends are nineteen and twenty. We have jobs and college to balance around in our schedules, thus sometimes computers have to take a back-seat (unless of course they are not working at all). I do not have the luxery of spending all day working on my computer. Perhaps you do, perhaps you don't. Point is this, I have a computer....my computer works just fine for me and what I do. You have a computer, and it works for what you want it to do, please do not insult others for their opinions on where they purchase their machines and how they come purchased (ie. In one big box or twenty small boxes). You obviously have a lot of working knowledge about computers, please try to use it to help others on this forum instead of tearing them down. As for your reference about major companies not carrying AMD's, are you trying to tell me that my parents HP Pavalion's AMD 3000 processor is actually an Intel in disguise! *GASP* :eek: Mike |
