w00t, finally new PC!
« on: March 29, 2003, 08:12:19 AM »
I just ordered the parts for my new PC! Here are some specs for those geeks out there. ;)

. Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz, 533 FSB
. Asus P4PE motherboard w/ LAN, SATA, audio, firewire - the works
. 512 mb Kingston HyperX RAM
. LiteOn 48/48/24 CD-RW
. 120 gb Seagate, 7200 rpm, 8 mb cache
. Chieftech Dragon kabinet w/ 340W PSU
. Microsoft Multimedia keyboard
. Windows XP Pro

I\'m pretty excited. :)

Oh yeah, the gfx card so far will be a Geforce 3 (Asus V8200 Deluxe) I have lying around here. I\'ll upgrade it later when the next big thing comes out. :D

Ah well, congrats Sammy.  Your specs are a little better than mine, so I hope you paid more.  :p   Just kidding.  Enjoy.  :)

intel cpu

good man
 

 


F-CK Intel those monopolistic bastards,  NVIDIA256 glaces at his 2.4ghz 533fsb Intel P4 Chip overclocked to 3.2ghz(vapochill)

GO AMD....lol you guys can make it ( I must admit I have owned in my life mosty Intel, I remember my first AMD chip used in my 486)

Intel allways charges such a mark-up price on there chips, although P4 chips 2 weeks ago went down further in price 15% if you are looking to buy a new chip now is the time.

Personally the next Intel cpu i get will be getting is the  800mhz FSB chip unless AMD\'s 64bit chip proves to be better. We will just have to wait and see.

Thanks Cosmo!

I got it up and running now... it turned on and booted without a problem the very first time - I was pretty amazed since I was prepared for the worst! :D

Awy, it\'s a Geforce 3 (Asus V8200 Deluxe) that I had beforehand. It\'ll do for now, though I\'ll probably upgrade when R400 or better is out. :)

Awesome computer though, I like the specs.

Bah Hurricane, do you think I\'m a millionaire or something! :p

Besides, at least now the Geforce 3 card will be in good use... then I\'ll get a sweet gfxcard later, when you\'re stuck on those slow Radeon 9700 Pro\'s. ;)

EDIT: Besides, going from 466 MHz, 128 mb RAM and a Voodoo3 to 2.4 GHz, 512 mb RAM and a Geforce 3 is a pretty big step. It\'s not like I\'m gonna feel "damn this is so slow compared to what I\'m used to!". :)
