What is ur processor?

[loomaluftwaffe]

yeah, I'd rather get an ATI Radeon 9250, It's cheaper and somewhat faster than some versions of the GeForce FX, but I have to uninstall my NVIDIA drivers and get ATI Catalyst

Well the only thing I hate of PC's is that the bloody things think they can do what ever they want, but my new PC knows who is the boss. I had a Pentium 2 and that SOB just gave me a lot of trubles.

I only got a PC when I was in 16 in 2002.

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

my first PC was in 1997, by the year 2000, it turned off after 15 mins, after turning it on, it was a Pentium II 233mHz, the problem was cause the PC fan stopped, this is my 2nd PC, I got it sometime in 2003

 

[Henk]

I got mine last year june, oh my goodness it is one year old, Happy B day PC and may you never give me bullsh*t.

 

[R988]

Pentium M 1.5Ghz Centrino at home, supposedly about as fast as a 3.0ghz or something, it's not too far behind the P4 3.2ghz HT desktop I have here at work at least. getting on a bit now, at least two years old, I'll probably replace it in a year or so (just in time for Storm of War: Battle of britain, what a coincidence )

Crucial is a fair place to buy RAM - I got all 8 slots filled now...8)

 

[Henk]

8 You lucky sun of a gun.

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

get it right dude, u said that 'sun' is a typo... and u get it all the time
8 slots? so thats like how much? and what kind of RAM?

 

[Twitch]

Wow! I haven't even see 8 RAM slots on motherboards since the 1990s! $ is a lot these days and usually 2 is standard.

2.5GB in there, maximum is 8 I think...

 

[Henk]

Ag looma I know my spelling sucks but that was a oops. I have seen 4 at the most and yes Twitch 2 is standerd now, I am not a PC expert. LOL

 

[Clave]

It's a Mac, so you wont have seen any motherboards for sale...

Course it's a bit old now - about 3 years I think, the current G5 has 8 slot and supports 16GB of RAM, which is insane...

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

yeah, dude 16GB can already be used to make long CG movies!

 

[Henk]

Well clave like I said I am not a PC expert, I can not remember the last time I was in a PC shop, I would love to know more about PC's. Clave you sound like you know a lot about PC's.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Well, it looks like I've got the sh*ttiest rig here alright. AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz.

And I'm not ashamed to cry.




Well ok, maybe just a little ashamed.

 

[102first_hussars]

I got a Pentium II, but it works about as fast a mollassis running up-hill

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

thats kinda slow for data being transferred in a PC

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

hey, which processors are more cost effective/faster

 

[Gnomey]

In General at the moment AMD's are faster for gaming Intel's for work. AMD is generally a bit more expensive (you can get a P4 2.8/3.0GHz Dual Core for a similar price to a 2.2/2.5Ghz AMD Dual Core)

 

[Twitch]

Gnomey- I got a 3 gig dual-core Pentium D 930 machine coming soon. How does it do for you? Had your's long?
