20 GB HD
64mb nVidia Riva TNT2

56K modem (that will only connect at 28k. )
Soundblaster Live PCI64
Cambridge speaker system
17" Diamond View monitor
Pioneer 8x DVD-ROM

Pretty sad, but it gets me by enough.

S_E_A: Go to computer fairs and build your own. This set-up was only $1900 including a printer and a couple of other extras.

 

Not bad. I need to build my own cheap one too. Problem is, I don't have $2000 dollars.

 

Oh Bib, don't be silly. If you salvage the case, cd rom, etc., you could get a good one for like $600.

 

Kadue, you call that sad? I don't

 

Possibly.... I could use my case, CD rom, the ram (i'd need more), but what else?

 

Oh man, you guys are going to die when you hear of the new system I'm going to build. Scary.

 

Bib, that's in Aussie dollars. It wouldn't cost you that much. Plus I started from absolute scratch.

 

Bib--sound card if its decent, floppy drive of course, hard drive depending how big it is. I think that's all.

 

PIII 933
256mb RAM
ATi Radeon
SBLive! (forget what version)
56k internet )
Windows 98
DVD-ROM
CD-RW (separate from other drive)
66.6 Gig hard drive
19'' Sony monitor

Microsoft Optical Mouse
Sidewinder Forcefeedback Joystick
Sidewinder Gamepad
Micosoft Keyboard (duh)
Cambridge Soundworks surround sound speaker system

 

Hardware Specs don't always perform the way it was intented to...what I've learned these past years is that the people have same Nvidia or the same Sound Blaster, or the same Ram, perform differently.

Some times software Configuration could be the reason, it's setting wrong... too much defragmentation, causing systems to slow down when play games, surfing the web.

A good Benchmark/diagnose tool can tell you a lot about your computer. What you guys think is the BEST benchmark?

The pcpitstop.com one I mentioned allowed me to spot a lot of problems, that I needed to fix, now I've NO red flags. HEHE pretty good

What I always do when I test my computer is to test without ANY programs running in the background.

I am NOT satisfied with my scores yet, because it's NOT Pentium 4 or Athlon 1G+. I do have 512MB RAM, and that's helpful in a lot of ways these days.

 

free advice, Dont offer advice if you are not qualified.

 

I am SOrry, but it's the Truth, Long.

Some people have the SAME exact specs as you do Long, could perform better, or worse.

A lot of it is in Hardwares, but also A lot of it is Softwares... OS configurations.

Anything I said wrong?

 

P2 400
144 RAM
16MB Voodoo3 3000
DVD-ROM (forgot speed)
17" monitor with a messed up picture
IDSL (POS!)

I really need a new PC!

Honestly, JM22... you have the most backwards way when it comes to thinking about things. True, listing your system specs doesn't give you any sort of idea how powerful the system is [unless you have a lot of experience with different hardware configurations], but most benchmarks don't truely offer real-world scenarios. At any rate, I digress. You're intentionally driving a topic away from its original intent, where Long asked users to post their system specs. Stop spamming this thread with your idea, trying to change the whole purpose fo the thread. If you don't knock it off, I'm going to ban you for a week. A lot of poeple are getting really sick of your spamming.

 

:lol

we so need a :lol smile here

 

Didn't PB ban you from posting new topics?

 

Well it has cleaned up community a great deal..... you can go in there and read most topics and not get a headache....

personaly cigams talk like jm22 thread was funny

I AM REALLY REALLY SORRY, but I wasn't trying to Spam, Really. You've to be nice for once and Believe me!

 

I don't believe a thing you say, I just watch what you do and have a very displeased look on my face.

That's not a good thing.

 

I am trying to change for the Better PB, every single day, PB, sorry if you don't believe it. I am NOT like same JediMaster22 I was in the old days.

ANyway, I don't want to ruin this thread. If you want to, we can take OUR misunderstandings to somewhere else.

Oh, forgot my other computer specs.

-It's name is something like DANekYbaC
-AMD 750MHz Athlon
-256MB PC100 RAM
-64MB Geforce DDR
-15GB HD
-Soundblaster Live! Value
-Crappy HP motherboard
-12x Pioneer DVD-ROM drive
-4x CD-RW
-Win2k Pro

I hardly use it anymore (mostly my parents), but it's a pretty nice system. Too bad HP made it.

 

JediMaster22- Could have fooled me.

 

Alright, there you go ... to make up for the upsets that I've caused.

My System Specs:

Intel PIII 933MHZ

512MB

60GB Hard Drive, partitions all the way to H:

PC Magazine Editor's Choice ATI Radeon (I Got a HUGE discount for it, so I didn't buy Nvidia, but I WILL)

ATI TV Wonder VE

Sound Blaster Live Gamer 5.1, like I said, too late for return it and get Audigy instead.

16X DVD-ROM 40X CDrom

A standard CD-RW burner.

56K modem, fax capable

10/100mb Ethernet card

And surely, a Free Webcam (poor Quality),

A Rumbling Gravis gamepad.

And Windows XP professional because I am also MSDN.

So, that's it... things you don't REALLY need to know like the MS Game Voice, TI-89 port, Cue, they are also attached to my computer... just u know, let you know...

NOT satisfied...NOT really, I want Better!!!
