Title: WOOHOO!! Finally got a new computer!
Post by: JerginsSoft on November 07, 2001, 07:54:41 PM
YEEEHAAWWW!!

I am sooo stoked!

I\'m finally able to play all the games I got waaay back in \'98 and \'99!!

I finally kicked off Half-Life on this baby, and, holy SHNIKES!!  It actually looks GREAT!!

Here are the specs:

1.5 Pentium4
40 Gigs of HD
256 RAM
32MB TNT2
CD RW
DVD
And its the 400MHz Front Side Bus too!

Although its no AMD Thunderbird, which is what I really wanted, I am really happy with this system.

Congrats, but what\'s up with the TNT. card??? It\'ll be a major bottleneck.

Double the ram and just sit back and wait for soulgrind to come and tell you that you paid too much.

Hope you enjoy the computer.  I was at 133 before I bought my 1.3...   I do a lot of graphics and it was just taking me forever.

YAHOO!!!  Fun now.  This computer is tons faster than my G4 Titatnium.

Dude, it is lightyears ahead of what I had before:

Cyrix M2 266 overclocked to 300
128MBRam
16MB Banshee
30GigHD

I put in the RAM and the HD after the fact, and a couplea things I plan on boosting in this baby already is the RAM, the vid card, and the HD.  I just really liked the FSB speed, which, thankfully, wasn\'t the 200MHz that everyone is pushing on their websites, and the processor.  I\'m already doing so much more with this puppy on my old aps.

LOL, I spent all night making useless CD\'s!!  I LOVE IT!!

Plus, with all the stuff I got with it, I paid less than 1100, which was great!

Nah.  I just thought it was funny that he said I was ripped off, but the pricing he was looking at was wholesale pricing because that was what HE could get it for.  Maybe I should have bought it from him and had it shipped.  I could have saved 4 or 5 bucks.
