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.

What Computer ???
I use my 1GB RAM, 1 THZ calculator to Run windows

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!
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.
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 am running an abicus
tape drive, mouse, monitor (don't work, nowhere to plug into, they are just there for effect)
I AM INVINCABLE
Merlin ?
i have a base 20 counting system - 10 fingers + 10 toes!!

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.
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. ;)
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!
PII 433 Mhz
192 Mb RAM
48x24x48 Imation CD-RW
44x CD-Rom
8mb Video Card
15 inch monitor
56k Modem
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
WINXP PRO
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???

*** all those lovely spec and then you have a 64MB Geeforce 3, its time you upgrade to a 128MB Radeon 9700 8XAGP and then give me the machine :D :D ;) ;) :) :)
Your boss there = bad Pb pcs
Your Boss Not There = Good PB pcs
Maybe you should interogate him and find out what skills he has :D :D :D
LOL
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 :pQuote:

Of course at the office we got the PIII, but gee not the same challenge....Now if only l could afford a Spectrum
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 have 11 fingers :p. You could call it my .... ummm .... Joystick :pQuote:

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! :DQuote:

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! ;)
Regards,
Paul.
BodWadUK...
If it makes you happy... i've just ordered the Radeon 9700 PRO 128mb DDR. It's a Gigabyte one obviously! ;)
I'm serious! I've just called the supplier to order a printer, and thought hmmm.... it would be good..... what the hell! :D:D:D
I'm off to collect it now! BRB...

Paul.
P.S Damn you for suggesting it ! LOL :p

HAHAHAHAHA

P.s If you just buy on a wim then you must be rich can i have some money :) :) :) :)
Wow a 19 Inch keyboard is nice :D :) :D :D :D
Not rich... just foolish! :p
Now where did I leave my Lotus.... :D:):D
Well actually it's a Peugeot 106 Quiksilver, but I can hope! :rolleyes: :D
If I don't like this Radeon 9700 PRO, then i'll be selling it for £100 (second hand obviously) if anyone's interested.

Need to get another WC pack for the ATI heatsink now!!! I've only just bought the ThermalTake one for Nvidia cards, and now i've got to shell-out more cash for ATI!
Who's stupid idea was this anyway? :p LOL
Regards,
Paul.
Here's what I've got:
ASUS-P3BF Motherboard, 850 Mhz Processor
1 GB RAM
six 36GB IBM SCSI drives
Pinnacle Systems DV500 Video Editing Hardware/Software
19" Optiquest Monitor
3Com Network Card
ATI Radeon (not sure of the model number, has 128MB of RAM on the card)
DVD-ROM, CD burner, DVD burner
Had to install a 475W power supply on this beast, and in addition to the normal cooling system in place, had to mount the hard drives in 2 separate cooling fan mounts (3 each fan)
Planned Upgrades: new motherboard with 3.03 Ghz Processor, 2 GB DDR RAM
Laptop:
Sony VAIO PCG-F390
PIII 500 Mhz w/128MB RAM
18GB HDD
DVD-ROM
Plan to upgrade to a newer VAIO with these specs as soon as my truck sells:
2 GHz P4
1GB RAM
60GB HDD
DVD burner/CD Burner Combo
All other Sony VAIO goodies...
I plan to get a Dual AMD 64 4Ghz (8Ghz total) and 16Gb's DDR PC3500, but it's not going to happen... yet! :DQuote:
Planned upgrades:
Steer clear of Asus though M8y, there so unreliable & buggy.
Regards,
Paul.
I had a computer, I don't know what kind or anything but it didn't have a hard Drive or a CPU, just two external 5 1/4 fopply dives.
I still have it, but it dosn't work(I stripped it).
Plus I have 2 386 computers(turbo 33MHz)
four 486DX2(66MHz)
three 486DX(55MHz)
Pentium II 233MHz
G4 iMac(350MHz)
PowerMac(75MHz)
Pentium 4 ((1.6 GHz)
and that's about all.
Here are the spec's of my one and only comp I use at home (and quite frankly, I think I'm in with a chance for the 'crappest computer award here!):
Memory: 64mb NVRAM
CPU: K6 baby!! @ a massive 350MHz
Keyboard: Covered in tipex (coz some of the keys don't do what they're supposed to do so I corrected them!) :D
Graphics: 1024x768, set to
Monitor: 800x600, max res.
HD: 6gb (which requently/mysteriously 'looses' several k's acording to scandisk)
CD-ROM: 32x (yes ROM, no R/RW/DVD, just ROM!)
OS: Win98SE
It may be just over 4 years old, as fast as todays graphics calculators, and as reliable as IE6, but f*** it, it connects me to the internet ok!
