SS88 is FINALLY upgrading his weak-@ss computer!
« on: September 03, 2001, 10:28:06 AM »
Yup. This wednesday I\'m getting an Athlon TBird 1.4ghz 266FSB, an MSI K7T266 LITE DDR, 256mb DDR RAM, a new case and power supply, and a 20gb 7200rpm Western Digital U100 hard drive. No its still not the BEST computer ever but its a huge step up from my old K6-2 500mhz, Via MVP3 mobo (don\'t remember the manufacter), 192mb SDRAM, and my 4gb (!) Mitbishi LS-120 hard drive.
Still got the same lame a$$ Intel 740 8mb vid card though :(
But I\'m (hopefully) going to get one of the GeForce 3s (regular, Ultra, MX) or maybe a Radeon 8500 (if it turns out to be as good as they say) for Christmas, which is just 4 months away :nerd:.

P.S. Does anyone know the difference between the Pro and Lite versions of the K7T266? (I figure its just a lack of AGP Pro/on-board RAID. Or so I hope anyway.)

You might want to wait a bit and save up some more. A bunch of cool new technologies will be coming out in the near future. AMD will be releasing a desktop version of their Athlon 4, motherboard manufacturers will start making boards with nForce chipsets, and a bunch more stuff.

But if your comp is really REALLY bad (like my old one) you might want to upgrade now.
Whatever, its up to you.

A GeForce 3? Niiiiiice. Wish I had one of those. It sucks when your nice smooth 20fps (yeah right) turns to 4.

I already have a monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse, sound card, video card (blek), ethernet card, printer, CD-Rom drive, CD-RW drive, and cable modem, so the price is obviously alot less.


BTW congrats on getting cable. Once you go broadband, you can\'t go back. :thepimp:
