Please note, this is not a gaming machine, and my studio software/hardware is not compatible with the new AMD mobo, so no flaming on the graphics card, or the choice of AMD vs. intel ok? :D

Any thoughts?

UPDATE - Bought the pieces, should have it together tomarrow (hopefully). ;)
 
WOW! 70 bucks for 256mb! Thats damn expensive compared to what I payed for my 512 micron! 80bucks for 2 sticks of 256mb.

That's $70 for TWO 256mb DIMMS. Bue-yea ... mine's cheaper (:

Mac Rules:Poke:

LOL, actually I was looking into a 800mhz DP with 1024 mb ram, super drive, the whole nine yards for around $5300.00......

Then I came to the conclusion that most (85%) of my software would not be compatible. So tack on another $6500.00 for repurchaseing software.

Too rich for my blood....

Now I'm running a P4 2000 mhz processor on Win2000 with benchmark settings compairable to the G4 800 DP for only $2300.00 and yes, all my software works. :D

True. I liked the look of the Dual 800Mhz but the cheapest I could find it was £2500 with a Superdrive, 1024MB RAM and a 19inch Studio Display. No way could I afford that. I only JUST managed to buy my current model-£1910. (500DP 248MB RAM 17inch S.Display, DVD RAM Drive):shakehead
 
I the only PC I use is my work one, but I have access to others.

Compaq DeskPro
PIII 1.0 Ghz
Windows NT4
256Mb Ram
20Gig HD
Intel 4mb onboard 2d graphics adaptor! (suxs)
40X cdr

Pretty basic work station!
 
I have a PC I threw together myself. Some time ago, too.

It consists of:

-AOpen AX59Pro Motherboard

-AMD K6-2 500 CPU :!:

-3dfx Voodoo 3 PCI :!:

-Creative Sound Blaster Live FourPointSurround :!:

-448 MB RAM, various manufacturers

-30 GB 7200 RPM Western Digital HD

-Logitech Optical Mouse (cheering)

-Teac USB CD-RW drive :!:

-Cable Modem (more cheering)

-Monsoon MM-700 planar speakers (crowd loses it, rushes stage)

-NEC 17" flat monitor

-various other doodads

So all in all, it's an odd mixture of severely outdated and less severely outdated. :D
 
Tweaked My PC a little, thought I'd share.

AMD 1800+
Abit-KG7 Raid Motherboard.
2 40 gig Western Dig HD's in the Raid.
1 60 gig Western Digital HD
Geforce 3
SB Live 5.1 digital
Toshiba DVD/CDRW
Yamaha 16x CDRW
270 Watt Sony Shelf stereo as my Speakers. (Too much bass, but It's pretty nice.)
Saitek X36 Flight System
Logitech Wingman Rumblepad
Logitech Dual Optical mouse. (One button less than my old Microsoft Optical :mad: )
And a partridge in a pear tree. I hope to all that is holy that I don't even think about upgrading this thing for a loooooong time. ;)
 
I feel kinda ashamed to post my pc's specs after seeing all those 1ghz puters. But oh well I will do it anyway.

500Mhz AMD K6-2
Soyo 5SSM motherboard
128 MB RAM
30 gig HD
Sis 530 video (onboard)
ESS Solo sound card(onboard)
45x cdrom
1000 watt OG Powered Subwoofer System(OG-2000)
Black keyboard and mouse

I plan to upgrade some of the parts to something really better. Especially the video and sound.
 
my computer consists of:

Intel Pentium 4 1.7GHz
256MB of RDRAM
Maxtor 40GB 7200rpm PC133 Hard Drive
nvidia Geforce2 GTS PRO Plus, S-Video, 64MB DDR Memory
16X Panasonic DVD
Acer FP563 15" LCD Flat Panel
i'll either get a Plextor or Yamaha CD burner 16X10X40 or better

it's decent for me considering it's my very first computer and i'm only 18 years old........i almost bought the titanium powerbook G4 500MHz but decided to hold off on the apples for a few years ... ;)
 
what are they?

mine:

Compaq Deskpro EN
P2 350
288 mb ram (32mb pc100 + 256mb pc 133)
40+6 gb hard drive
voodoo 3 3000 16 meg PCI
LG 24x write 10x re write 40x read CDRW
