Systems..

[Robert]

I have around 10 computers here at home ( I build computers as a side job) and right now mos to them are 800MHZ Amd. I've decided to upgrade one of these systems to an Athlon something. Not sure if I want an Athlon 1Gig, Athlon XP, MP, or what not.

I was wondering if you guys can post your system specs and how you like it. I just want to see what people have and how they like it.

As of now, I will be building this:

- AMD Athlon XP 1600
- 512mb of ram
- 40GB hard drive 7200 RPM
- 64mb video card (G-Force)

PENTIUM III 800
20GB(7200)+1.2GB HDD
128+128+64MB RAM
INNO 3D GFORCE MX 32

[Bruce]

AMD K6-2 475 MHz
256 MB SDRAM
8 GB 5400 RPM Seagate Hard Disk
SiS Integrated Graphics (8 MB Shared RAM)




It sucks! Need I say more?

I have a:

AMD Thunderbird 1.4Ghz
768MB DDR-RAM
32MB ATI Radeon DDR
20GB 7200RPM Hard drive

I would recommend ATI over Geforce though. My ATI Radeon serves me well. The thunderbird cpu is one hell of a processor.

Phrozen, computer parts are getting cheap about now... you could get a Duron if you are low on cash.

[vorapoap]

PHROZEN.. IT IS GOOD IF YOU PLAY OLD GAME.. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED THOSE SNES EMU AROUND?.. CLASSIC AND FUN AND LOW SPEC.

I've been thinking of getting that AMD Athlon XP 1.8 as well. How do you like it? And 2GB of Ram? What kind of board do you have? ASUS?

My proccessor rocks

Yup 2GB of ram ... my Motherboard can hold 4GB as far as i know.

[Robert]

Who makes your motherboard??
Since I work for a computer store I can get anything and everything at whole sale cost. I'm prepared to get the best of the best this time.

[MN-Carl]

<edit> no i didn't .. i remember .. i bought it from a computer fair</edit>

[Bruce]

Um... Dell has never sold AMD.

[Giancarlo]

I think somebody is lieing. :rolleyes:

I'm not lying ,

I have nothing to gain by doing such a thing.

My PC spec is as printed.

[vorapoap]

I think ASUS is best...
INTEL IS BAD

[MN-Carl]

I wouldn't mind a new board - after the new AMD proccessors come out .... and then swich offer to RD RAM.

[Robert]

Thanks Phrozen. That is a very nice board. I've sent in my request for it and am awaiting the cost of it.

If you want to make the long trip to Wayne, NJ, there's this shop called Nationwide Computers that sells mobo + RAM + processor combos...cheapest in the nation, says my uncle. :rolleyes:

[Robert]

I'm in Miami, FL. Fly/Drive all the way up there for a computer? LOL.

[Nick]

I have a:

PIII 733MHz
128MBs RAM
30GB Western Digital Master
20GB Western Digital Slave

And I don't know what the video card is :o.

I'd like to build my own computer sooner or later.


Robert - Do you still have AIM? What is it?

[Robert]

My AIM is Dim8Rob
My MSN is Dim8Rob
My Yahoo is Dim8Rob (See a pattern here?)
My ICQ is 118343155

C-ya.

[Escalus]

Hello Everyone ...

Just thought I would chip in and tell you mine ...

Gateway 450 PIII
384mb RAM
GeForce 2

Everything else is stock in the computer. I'll say one thing, yea my parents bought it for me 2 years ago, but that damn computer is awesome. I never have any problems and with my cable modem I can hang with the best gamers out there.

I play alot of counter-strike on there, and build flash movies. Gateway makes one hell of a CPU.

:classic2:

Hey, if you're buying in bulk, then it may help a bit... you may save a couple of cents (After factoring in the transportation costs...). :rolleyes:
