That describes some of the people I know....


RR Triton, thanks for the kind words.
How satisfied with the performance of your system at 1.6GHz are you?? I've got a friend looking at doing something along those lines.

Arrow Love my dually!

See Y2K with a dually, I'll toss mine in too:

*ASUS P2B-D
*Dual PIII/850mHz/100mHz
*1GB ECC RAM
*Adaptec 2100S RAID Ctrl (32MB cache)
*6x18.2GB Seagate Barracuda 10k Ultra 160 drives
*SoundBlaster Live!
*Elsa GeForce2 GTS 32MB
*19" Viewsonic

.0000002ms R/T, 0-850mHz in .0000001ms...heh

and my SO's recently mod'd machine

*Compaq 5BW120
*Intel Celeron 900mHz (<--$72.00) ... came with a 600mHz Celery
*512MB non-ECC RAM (133mHz) (<--$45.00 total for 512)
*umm...some multi-GB IDE drive
*weird built in sound and video stuff (hate embedded sound/video)


...that's about it. My server is an old Compaq 2500 w/dual Pentium Pro/200's and gig-o-ram. It serves it's purpose without complaint. File and print (oh, DHCP, DNS, Virus protect network, Firewall, SMS)

...this has everything to do with F-150's...how else did we know about f150online.com without our PC toyz??

My current heap is a Celeron 333 Compaq (or should that be HP now?) Presario. It's being replaced due to its age and un-upgradeability, with a 1333mhz VoodooPC (it's a local company but it has been getting rave reviews in MaximumPC magazine).

I have an old p2 350 64megs ram and a 6gig with a flat 17'' It sounds old and out dated but it crushes my work 800 p3 128 megs ram 20 gig 7200rpm on a t-1 (1.5 mps) because I have a cable modem that consistantly hauls down 1.8-2 mps

Point is the machine is only half the equation! It's the size of the pipe that really matters!

My current system:
Dell Dimension 4100 series with 933 P3
256MB ram soon to be 512, don't remember type
Creative labs sound blaster live sound card
altec lansing acs340 w/ powered sub (sounds very good for mid budget speakers)
NVIDIA TNT2 M64 4XAGP vid card
Logitech optical mouse
19in old stlye monitor w/ glare screen
samsung 12x dvd player
sony 8x/4x/32x cd-rw ( not to bad, a little slow)
60 gig HD with ATA100 (filled about 8 gigs in about 8 months, probably with the 800 mp3's on it)
Cannon canoscann656u ( very good scanner and very small about 1 inch thick)
HP 932c printer
3com 56k modem (it sucks to live where you can't get cable or DSL lines)

old system
Packard Bell 486sx 33mhz, no math co processor
12mb ram
2x cd
2 cheap altec speakers
9 pin dot matix colour printer
15in monitor
14.4 modem ( stock was 2400)
1mb vid card intergrated with 8 bit Cirrus sound card
this was one out dated and slow computer

old old system was a Nintendo... the original. Hey it's still somewhat of a computer, to get technical I could call the old Atari before it a computer or was that just a good paper wait.
