Well my computer woops you all.. 333mhz celeron beast, 64 meg of ram, floppy disk drive (Lol) 4 gig of hard drive space that came with it, another 4 gig hard drive i stole off my ex-boy, have put in a lite on 52x cd burner, and i do have an optical mouse lol. My laptop (IBM i series with annoying little red knobby bit in the middle of the keyboard thats your "mouse") is about the same, except its only 4.5 gigs of hard drive all up, but it has a cd-dvd drive... i remember my dad telling me that the dvd player is 1x... hrm. But to top it all off. WINDOWS 98! hell yeah!

My step dad is putting in a 20gig hard drive into my computer in the next couple of days, and i have givemn him money to buy me and 80 gig drive, so at least thats something!

My last PC (5 years ago?) was a dual P3 450MHz, it blew up while I nipped out in the morning to buy a PS2 and Sony TV. A voltage regulator shorted and fed 5V into the 3.3V processors and killed both. :(

Wow, I'm still running my dual rig. 2 x P3 800 MHz. The performance is still outstanding even compared to todays HT processors. Coupled with a SCSI RAID controller it's hard to top.

actually, not really i just upgraded to 1 gig (from 512meg) and i can tell you some of the recent games really need it like vampire:bloodlines and half-life 2, both take up around 700meg of ram, if you do alot of multitasking and graphic work the extra ram will be utillisted and speed up your system

Yep point taken, the newer games and all the multitasking that can go on now does need the extra RAM

I run CAD programs, I need the RAM. It isn't a games machine.........

Smoked · 25-01-2005, 05:31 PM

I have

1.4Ghz P4 CPU
384 MB RAM
40GB HDD
GeForce 4 MX440
SB LIVE Value
Yamaha 8x4x24 CR-RW
LG 52X CD-ROM
and a HP G55 Printer/Scanner ALl-in-one unit

NOT much by 2days sandards, but i personally designed and built this machine up in early 2001 when i worked at a computer store. Has still got a bit of grunt to it, but because i really dont play many computer games (XBOX is for games) i only need it for some of my Engineering programs, which it handles fine. The Price of it wehn it was new, dot ask, crap loads, of which i didnt pay with staff discount, buti m still happy with it.

DivHunter · 25-01-2005, 05:50 PM

1Gb ram is great. Remember windows always sees 4Gb ram no matter how much physical ram you actually have. The more the merrier.

Such an uninformed statement. People used to say anything more then 256MB was overkill not so long ago.

Windows XP is at its absolute best with 1GB of RAM. Every single machine running 512 that I've put XP onto has been lacsture. With Service Pack 2 and 512MB RAM... it's a slow ever freezing horror....

And I just got home from ordering an...

AMD Sempron 2200+ 1.5GHz Socket A CPU, 333MHz FSB
Abit NF7 SktA nForce 2 motherboard
768MB PC3200 DDR DRAM
400W ATX PSU

Should be here by friday. Ah.. a decent computer again!

25-01-2005, 06:39 PM

HP Compaq nc6000 laptop.

Pentium M 1700
512 Mb RAM
ATI mobility Radeon 9600 AGP
CD-RW (24x max) / DVD-ROM

Cant complain, no games or anything (work lappie) so the only processor intensive tasks I use it for is at work. I only surf at home.

What kind of 5.25 drive you getting? If you're getting a DVD Writer.. throw the CD Writer out.. and that's that.

Yea, well I thought that, or selling my dvd-rom and cd-writer and getting a cd-writer-dvdrom combo drive or something because my dvd-rom drive is ugly anyway and I want to have the cd-writer as a back up to the dvd-writer, cause im not rich and cant afford 2 dvd-writers, i'll probably end up doing that.

ok what you could do is get a pci ATA card, which will allow you to run more drives, or you could get a PCi ATA raid controller which will allow you to daisy chain many hard drives together using raid 0

He'd need new HDD's for that, RAIDed hdd's must be the same Make/Model.
