L@@K.....The Best Computer In The World!!

[aquarius]

OK, Guyz......... Everyone who sees this has to leave Specs And Info about their own personal Computer..

Eg.....How Fast....How Much Ram.....DVD..... etc........

Lets See, Who has the Best Computer here..... Of course i want to hear about all you Overclockers out there.


Also, lets see who has the Shitiest Computer out there too....

heh. Have Phun........

At home l have a Sinclair Z81, with the amazing configuration of 1kb ram, (who needs more for chess games), a cassette for saving stuff, and a black and white monitor for a screen. :):) And the nifty key combos to enter basic commands.....Yeha

Of course at the office we got the PIII, but gee not the same challenge....Now if only l could afford a Spectrum

but listen to this -

You need at least a 486DX or 66 Mhz and 24 MB of RAM to run win 98!

a 486!!!!

i used to have a 486DX4 100 mhz 16 mb ram and it used to run win 95 fine but when i installed internet explorer 4.0 it slowed down completely. you need to have internet explorer to run win98 - how would it cope!

i read this in a txt document called setuptip (i think) on the root directory of the window s98 cd.

I fall on my knees in admiration to your answer. Yeap l guess you win hands down, clearly a Z81 is over kill when it comes to home computing. Will throw it in the bin immediatly, and invest in a box of B4s and some pads.

[Jeremy Martin]

While looking throught this topic I have noticed that most people don't have more than 128 meg of ram. Which brings me to my question. What do you all think that the standard memory amount is today? And for my next question what do you think is a better chip the AMD Athlon or the PIII? I am thinking about building a new computer and just wanted to get different people input before I decided on a processor.

Am using a PI with 64 meg ram at home, but my boss has agreed that l need something better so is going to pay half of new PC. Do a lot of work from home office.

Going for a PIII, coz standard Wintel setup.

128meg ram is currently in oz standard. But am going for 250mg or whatever, (RAM is always slightly different to what is claimed), to allow for more stuff in memory at same time.

64 meg was ok till hard disk started filling up, and wanting to run Word, Excel, and a couple of vb projects at once.

[d.paulson]

How about this one.
RadioShack model 4
2 single-sided 5-1/4 drives (180k eack)
(capable of saving programs to cassete tape)
green screen monitor
64 k ram
4mhz processor
that's about it
cost approx 3300 canadian dollars in 1981

[shanzek]

I was amazed that someone would actually claim ownership of a Basic 4 S10. For those too young, visualize a Singer sewing machine case, but without a handle.

back on the second topic:
our standard configuration is 64meg for the 'drones', doing mostly e-mail, word, excel, and terminal emulation. In the I/S department, we get either 128meg or 256meg, depending on whether we do lots of database work. Our decision support staff that runs lots queries get 256meg.

My system at home has 256meg, mostly because I like to dabble in Corel Draw and Corel Paint. Scanning in a 5x7 photo in full color and trying to edit it sucks up the memory big time. But none of my vb apps come near using over 64meg...

If you want to jump off onto another survey:
Is it better to program on the biggest computer you have, and hope the user can run it; or develop on a slower system so you feel the users pain over slow code?

Well i think that the average ram you need to have is 64-128 mb. Most (new) games i think need about 128 to run. But it is better to have as much as you can get your hands on.

The maximum my ibm 6x86 can take is 384 mb. (the mother board that is!)

[Buzby]

My PC is a

But I also own.. (and this is not a joke - I just went through a stage of collecting old machines!)..

a Sinclair ZX81 - still in the box and never been used because a plug has never been attached to the wires. (with manuals as well)

a Sinclair Spectrum 48K - rubber key model

20gb Hard drive
17" Monitor
10 x DVD
4x4x32 CDRW
Sound Blaster Live 1024
32mb nVIDIA GeForce
Cambridge 4 point surrond speakers, Though i thought screw that for a laugh, why use those when i have a pair of perfectly good 150 watt speakers and smaller pair of 75 watt speakers. I can now offically bring the house down if i so choose. ;)

I also have a working c64, and an old 386 with 2mb ram and basically no hard drive.

[gravyboy]

I have 6 pooters...

Starting from the beginning

ZX48k Speccie!

Amstrad CPC6128 - Dodgy 3' Disk Drive, 128k Ram

Amiga 500 - 1Mb RAM

486 DX4-100 - 24Mb RAM, 840Mb HDD, 1MB Graphics (S3 Trio), SB Original, 24X CD, 14' Monitor

486 DX266 - missing several components 'cos they were cannabalised into the 486 above.

Homebuilt (3yrs ago) Cyrix MII-233 - 32Mb EDO, 1.6GB HDD, Various Graphics (at moment 16Mb Banshee, but has been 1Mb Cirrus 5446 & 12MB Voodoo2 then 4Mb ATI Rage IIc & 12Mb Voodoo2.), Crystal Chips PCI Sound (I hate it and wish I'd never bought it!), 28.8k modem (it cost me nowt so I wasn't going to say no!), dodgy printer port necessitating an addon IO ports card!

All a bit pants really.

[delker]

My computer is less that a year old, and is already outdated.

PII 400Mhz

3Com Ethernet (when on school network)
17" monitor (bigger than my TV)

and the newest addition: a MouseRemote from X10 - you have to have a remote to watch a DVD!

[SkippySolutions]

I think I have most of you beat for the big one <evil grin>

I have a Dual Pentium 600
1 UWSCSI2 10,000 RPM 18GB Hard Drive
Anhialator Pro Video
SoundBlaster Live X-Gammer
Cordless Logitech Desktop Pro Keyboard & Mouse
Altec Lansing 5.1 speaker system
256 MB Ram
19" Sony Trinitron Monitor

Not a bad upgrade from a P-100, eh?

Pretty cool when your home PC is bigger than some of the servers at work...

[shanzek]

Back to Jeremy's question about AMD Athlon versus PIII...
My preference is the AMD (and what I'm running at home) based entirely on the bang-for-the-buck approach. I was able to get about 25% more speed for about 33% less money...

I've not encountered any compatability problems (so far). My prior system had a Cyrix P200, the one before that an IBM 486/75; I have to go back to my 386/25DX to the last Intel product I've owned.

At work we have standardized on the PIII.

[Iain17]

While i see your point about us going "Look, mine is better than yours", it makes a nice change to be able to tell someong who knows something about computers.

Take for example my computer. I got it a week ago, and none of my family where in the slight bit interested. "Oh thats nice." Its got a 700mhz processor. "Has it. Is that good then?" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Just a chance for us to have our computers admired by someone, as everyone likes to be proud of what they own.

[Jeremy Martin]

I agree. I think it is nice that we can all talk about what computer we have. Heck if someone has a nice component in there computer I like to be able to hear about it. I may want to add that component if I think it is interesting or will make my computer better. Heck it also gives us a chance to se what type of computer other programmers are using. I guess I really don't look at it as comparing how has the better computer, but rather seeing what other people are using.

Jeremy :)

[G.Kumaraguru]

What Computer ???

[Zaphod64831]

Hey, Jeremy, I've got a component for you. Have you ever heard of SB Live! Platinum Edition with Live Drive?

It's the biggest baddest commercial sound card I've ever seen!

[Jeremy Martin]

I all ready have the SB Live! Platinum Edition, I have the MP3+ also. They are a great series of sound cards, would recommend them to everyone. The nice thing is the digital din connector and the digital speakers.

[parksie]

yeah, i've got one, and it rocks. especially if you have an MD recorder, then it makes life SO easy (optical digi in/out into the MD to record MP3s, or transfer other recordings to your computer - with no quality loss ANYWHERE)

actually - there's two sblives only 6 doors away from each other where i live - talk about market share!

I always buy 128MB for my new workstations, and at least 256MB for a server. I also always get Intel processors, because I've had problems with my AMD chips.

How does everyone access the net? I've got ISDN at home now (a nice 128K connection) but used to use a 33.6K connection.

[MrShickadance]

ew.. 10Mb network. You should step up to 100Mb and a 10/100 switch.

Hehe, currently I'm connected to the net via 56K slow-ass modem. Next month it's DSL time! and a new Duron system.

You say you have problems with AMD processors? I've owned AMD processors ever since the K6 and haven't had one problem. Whay you need to do is throw away that Cyrix box. ;)

[vbsquare]

The problems I had were with the AMD K6/2 on Windows 95. You need to install a patch otherwise Windows starts booting and comes up with Windows Protection Error. I've also had other problems.

To upgrade my network to a 100Mb network I need to buy quite a few network cards and at the moment I've got four hubs - I don't really want to have to buy replacements for those as well.

I could buy a 10/100 switch but I would need several due to the locations of the computers in my house, and therefore that would be pretty expensive.

As for those Cyrix boxes - they've been the most reliable machines I've had!

[gorounreal]

PII 433 Mhz
192 Mb RAM
48x24x48 Imation CD-RW

All that probably cost me around $1200
The main computer was bought around 4 years ago but the rest of the stuff such as the 128 Mb Ram and the CD-RW drive was bought just recently.

i have a few sanyo's that boot from a 5 1/4 floppy... with no HD... anyone looking for a PC?? ill sell em too u cheap...

my dad has a sinclair.. not sure what model.. but i know u have to hook it up to a TV..

but in my bedroom I have

1.3 Mhz P4
260GBs total HD space
SB Audigy Platinum EX
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
512 MB RAM

I also have a 1 Ghz AMD system that is running win2k advanced server...

I might sell both PCs and get a new one....

I will of course strip my better PC of its newer components and move them to the new system... i have all the original parts that came with the PCs

I might just order a barebone system and put my stuff in it...

Anyone lookin for a PC???

Of course at the office we got the PIII, but gee not the same challenge....Now if only l could afford a Spectrum

I had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum Plus a few years back. Used to type out all game programmes in a book everyday. We did not have a casette recorder at home, so couldn't save stuff. I remember typing out the 150-line odd "Bricks" game every evening and then playing it for an hour or so. Since we used the TV as the monitor, I couldn't spend all the time playing the game :p

Yeah, today's systems suck when you look at the ZX keyboards, simply efficient! There were two modes for entering the Basic programs, and in the 48K mode where the keyboard shortcuts were enabled, it was simply impossible to make any syntax errors :D

I'm not a BIG game player... so the Ti500 is perfect for me. I'm even running one in the server!!! It was just sitting in the draw, and thought i could use it! :D

You can have the machine with pleasure M8y, what's the address? :)

The other MAJOR downfall is the sound card. It's just a standard 5.1, but there's a 6.1 digital on the mobo... which is fantastic. The sound is superb. I'm using some old Creative Labs SW310's at the mo, but have a 3k AMP plugged in to the 6.1!!! heeheeeee :D:D:D ooohhhhh it's loud! *Me clear's up the drool*

I'de recommend my heatsink though! It's GR8. The variable dial works fine, and the noise isn't too bad! MUCH!!!!!!

No case mods, and no overclocked GFX or CPU's. I don't see the point of pretty lights in the case!!! I'de rather save the power for another hard drive! ;)

If it makes you happy... i've just ordered the Radeon 9700 PRO 128mb DDR. It's a Gigabyte one obviously! ;)

[Nigh™a®e]

The best computer in the worl is an IBM computer and will be finished in 2004.
The pc will have the power of the human brain. Sounds scary, specialy when you know that the american goverment payed IBM over 150 Miliard $$$ for running this project.

There are allready different projects of superAI computer but most of them failed.
I know only 1 succeeded project from a sientist from the UK.
He builded a AI Chip that he build in into his own brain.

I dont like AI computers, cause they can become smarter as humans wich can be very dangerous. You can see how dangerous america is now with all theyre war games.
If you give such a AI pc to bush the end of the human race is near (its allready near with his foolish actions now)

Normally everybody should be able to build these kind of supercomputers cause IBM is using the ChipSet used on playstation 2.

===

About my computers ................... they are all build from old pc's just by upgrading the hardware now and then.
The servers are using the newest technoligies.

The only serious problem i have with all these pc's is the noice. All the vens in the systems make so much noice, even when i stand outside the serverroom and close the door, i can still hear them.
Therefor i wanna demolish all Midi and Bigtowers, so i can make 19" racks of them using the orig case they are in. This will be a hard and long project but will have many advatanges.

The good thing of these racks, is that it takes less place, extra large vens can be added on top of it, so less heat of the systems.
Maybe when adding some large vens at the back, the vens inside the pc's can be changed to 5V instead of 12V. That should reduce the noice of the pc's a lot.

Well thats cause my DNS is registered at a 3The party at this moment, and im waiting for over a month now to change it to my own dns server.

Thats why i registered the .tk domain a little while ago.

My DNS should be fixed by the end of this week, otherwise the isp will get a claim.

Where all the systems come from??
Well i only bought a full system once. What i do is take all the good hardware from some old pc's. put in a new mainbord, processor, ram and hd. These items are pretty cheap these days.

For the unix pc, there are just some old pc's that cant be upgraded anymore (compaq). I got 10 of these P1 166 pc's

Next to that i'm also network admin of a small company. They also gave me some old pc's when we upgraded the pc's they had.
The Dual processors and the Intell 800 i got from them for free :)

But soon i will upgrade the network again (sell the old mainbord and get some new ones) But first im working out a project.

I'm getting sick of all these towers and desktops taking all the place, so i want to build a 19" rack, transform the cases the pcs are in now to 19".
For that i need only the panels to hold the mainbord with the cards on it. The power suplys and all hd's will be in serparated compartments.

===

If you want some good server yourself, just go buy a laze old pc that has a usefull vid card, sound, lan, ..... for a low price. Then replace the old hardware thats to slow.

You can upgrade allmost any old pc to an AMD 2Ghz 512 DDR with seagate 60GIG for only 250$. and i guess in some countries you can get it even cheaper.

OMG! :rolleyes: Do you work in this trade?

You are confusing DDRII with Dual Channel DDR! DDRII just has less noise in the signal, creating a high bandwidth rate and therefore higher performance.

Just to take the p*ss... the 256mb version is out now... and that's also on back-order.

Just because you can't get hold of them, doesn't mean they don't exist :rolleyes:

I'm selling the Abit. new Epox on the way .:)

VisionIT: the only DDRII Radeon 9800 card is the 256MB one. The 128MB 9800 uses standard DDR. thanks. I find it hard to believe that you have 2.5Gb of PC3200 RAM but anyhow..

What do you store on those 720GB? :)

[VisionIT]

I don't blame you for selling the Abit, but buying an Epox ??? :confused:

Why do you find it hard to believe I have 2.5Gb's 3200 in my system? The dimm's were dead cheap when i had them, so i bought 2x1Gb 3200's and 1x512mb 3200... :confused:

1Gb + 1Gb + 512 = 2.5Gb :confused: ;)

512mb DDR's are only £12 now, and still dropping! (PC2100's though)

In answer to your last question... all customers HDD images are put in to a TIB directory, so I always have a working setup should anything ever go wrong... (never been used so far, i'de like to add!)

It's certainly not what you were thinking...
:p ;)

If you are looking for the 128mb DDRII Radeon in a trade/retail leaflet... you won't find them. They have to be ordered internally, or so i'm told!. If you can find a retail outlet selling them, tell me... cause i'm sure ATI would like to know.

Regards,

Paul.

EDIT: Sorry... 512's are not £12 quid... it's the 256's that are! :rolleyes:

My first was one of those HP Personal Typerwriters in the late 80's that printed out what was on your screen but you had to save them onto black disks.

Gaming on this machine included, see 2x Voodoo2 :-)

Last weekend I dug out my old P1 200MMX box circa 1997 (very expensive PC for that year) in which I had installed 2 Voodoo2 (mid 1999 if memory serves) cards (interleaved naturally :D)

i had also upped the RAM to 64megs. Yesterday i squeezed 70 frames per second out of QuakeII (1024x768 all the trimmings)! I had to move the swap file to another physical drive and pretty much customize the box for gaming but it went like a dream.

What a machine. :lights up a smoke:
