I\'ve been gone for 3 months cuz my pc died a horrible death. When I came home for lunch from computer school I nearly fainted upon seeing the Dell boxes piled on on top of another. After rushing to CompuUsa to buy Black IceDefender and systemworks 2001. I set up my Pentium 4 1.4 Ghz powerhouse. I love the joys of broadband. It\'s nice to be back online. I just wanted to say hi and I can\'t wait for Oshima(Spelled right?) Since I finally got Untracked in SSX after 4 months. Yeah I know I suck but It was worth it in my opinion.

I\'ve been so busy web surfing and writing that i forgot to check on my post. AMD\'s are cool too I have nothing against them but I love my new pc

It\'s kewl. I\'m just happy that my cable modem works now since it was proven that since my old computer was such a piece of crap that was why it didn\'t work.

Hey what does nO-One have against P4\'s. Did I say something offensive in my post?

I understand how you feel.there is nothing like upgrading.

Ok this is what I have
Dell Dimension 8100
Pentium 4 1.4Ghz processor
256 megs of ram
60GB HD
Turtle beach Santa Cruz sound card
32mb Nvidia GeForce 2 Gts
17 Triniton Monitor
and cheap ass speakers. Well the next step up from the standard pc speakers. Almost forgot Built in ethernet port for my cable modem. woo hoo!!!! AMD\'s are cool too but Dell only had Pentium\'s

I have a Pentium 166 mHz with 32 Megs of ram.
But Im going for the 1.5 GHz Athlon with a Geforce 3

nO-One · « **Reply #12 on:** March 04, 2001, 01:11:15 PM »

Dell only has Wintel systems.

I always build my own currently have

Tbird 800
Abit KT7-RAID
Ge-Force.2GTS
256 mb 133Mhz ram
IBM 7200 rpm 30gb
Sblive
Sony CPD-G400 19" (love it cost me an arm and a leg though)
AOpen HQ45 case

Soon replacing the Tbird with a 1,2 Ghz version.
GF.3 when it\'s released
Sblive is to be replaced with a Sblive Platinum or Philips Acoustic Edge.
Adding 256 mb of ram (You always need more ram right)
Another HD to set up some RAID action
Case to be replaced with an HQ08 full tower or maybe the Antec SX1030.

That\'s a pretty cool set up man. I forgot to mention the 12 DVD drive and the Sony 12x8x32 CDRW drive. I wish I knew more about cpu hardware so I could build my own without getting ripped off. Check this out my friend\'s cousin wants to get a 1.2 Ghz MAc(even released yet?)j with a DVDR-rom and a Terabyte Hard Drive, 1Gig of ram. Does he really need that no he also wants 2 firewire ports, 2 agp ports and 3 pci slots. I don\'t know what kind of board supports that kind of configuration but he has serious power issues. plus he wants that GeForce 3 but he won\'t stop there he wants to try to somehow link 2 of them together for double the power. I think he\'s trying to meltdown the mother board if you ask me....some people just have issues.

This guy is an idiot

The 1,2Ghz mac from Xtreme is just vapourware.It\'s almost impossible to overclock the G4 to these speeds (mpc7400 version) because the transistors can\'t handle it,they would melt.(There is more of a chance they could OC the newer mpc7450 because they have a 7 stage pipeline)but there is a serius shortige of them.

He wouldn\'t double the power by having 2 GF.3\'s they aren\'t designed that way.The only manufacturer to have support for more than one cores was 3DFX with their SLI technoligy they sold that technoligy before they went under.There isn\'t a dual AGP motherboard in existance,AGP isn\'t designed that way.3 PCI slots is too little 5 is the minimum for me.

He wouldn\'t use all that ram,more ram on a mac is better if he\'s using MacOS 9,x or below since it has poor PMT(preemtive multitasking) and no protective memory.It\'l all be fixed in MacOS X when 128 will be enough.

A terabyte hard drive is VERY hard to get and VERY expensive.The only ones I\'ve heard of were made by Maxtor.

And a DVD-R drive costs about 3000$.He would be better of getting a REAL prebuilt Mac with the drive built in and thus getting the drive very cheap.
