Recommended Posts

Do you have a BRAND NAME computer? what brand? or you are a geek like me and built your own?

Let's brag about our beloved systems.

Mine is a P4 2.0 Ghz

1.5 GB RAM (DDR)
Radeon 7500 64 MB Video card
2x 60 GB 7200 rpm IDE hard drives
CDRW (48-24-16)
DVD ROM (16x)
350 watt power supply
Server type case

And this is only the backup, my REAL system, is in the making B|

Which one? P4 2.0, P3 933, Athlon 650. Sad thing is the oldest is barely 3 years old and is so outdated it is sad.

O yea, one is a Best Buy Clone, one is Dell, one is an IBM. The Best Buy Clone (VPN Matrix) has been the one that has been most trustworthy and had fewer Blue Screens of Death. (Could be the fact that it is running XP over Win98)

GeForce 2 video
Santa Cruz sound
40GB and 80GB 5400RPM hard drives
CDRW (can't remember the speed)
400 watt power
Enlight mid-tower screwless case

My System in the Making:
Athlon XP 2100 (1.8ghz)

512mb PC2700 DDR RAM

Mine was a gateway until I upgraded everything in it. Only thing gateway about it now is the case. Its an Athlon XP 1700 now with 512 megs of ram and a total of 90 gigs of hard drive space. For the next 2 weeks I'll be using this crappy Dell laptop, running WinME, which I inherited after my brother got too frustrated with it and bought a new laptop. As soon as I get back to school I'll get XP on this thing and see if it works any better. It has problems like diagonal rows of keys just not working for a while, and the touchpad has a mind of its own sometimes and moves the cursor very slowly in a random direction. It's also a crappy model that can't have the floppy and CD drives installed at the same time. There's no room for both. But, it can get online which is all I plan to use it for.

1.5 GB RAM?! Damn man... ;)

I always build my own systems. Never trust an ID10T with a screwdriver.

Athlon XP 1800+
ThermalTake Volcano 7+ (I think) fan
Asus A7V333 (I use the onboard sound, but only for now, I just bought a rig and don't have money for a proper soundcard)
512 MB DDR2100 (I think) RAM
20 GB 7200 RPM IDE100 + 5 GB IDE HD (old, I use it as a floppyB|)
MSI GeForce4 TI4400
Yamaha CDRW 8x4x16 (Old, and honestly I expected better from Yamaha :|)
Creative CDROM 52x max
Network cards + other insignificant crap
2 (yes 2) monitors B|: Viewsonic E773 and SyncMaster 17GLi (very old, but it works, so whatever)

1.5 GB RAM (DDR)



u crazy ? soon you'll have UN weapon inspectors checking if you're developing an A-bomb... :P

mine is too old and too slow, but i'm saving for parts for my precious :ph34r:
O


To be honest with you, I have only 1.5 GB RAM because the 1GB memory modules are still too expensive (so I have 3 512 modules), my MoBo supports up to 3GB DDR RAM, when I build a PC I always MAX OUT to get maximum performance.

Hey, that's why they call me Crazy Ivan B|
