I have a p3 733eb o/c to 880 on the asus cusl2 mb. I am going to be building an athlon 1.4 system. Since I can't figure out how to make a poll since this new format is so confusing I'll just put it in the post. Which do you prefer, 1 for intel, 2 for amd, 3 for other ibm cpu's, 4 for macintosh? I'm kinda 50/50 for amd and intel. I prefer intel but like amd because they are made for overclocking. You can overclock intel but not as much.

 

Just upgraded to a 800 PIII, the limits of the Abit BE6 II.Added 512 megs of ram and a Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro GeForce DDR.I still play alot of games and the Pentium's have always been great for games.I'm playing Soldier of Fortune now with no problems at all.

 

I have two, one is a 500 Mhz Celeron Compaq with 128Megs, 17 Gig HD, dvd, cd-rw, 4 USB ports, Sprint Broadband, an old Macintosh 15" monitor (from an old PowerPC that died a couple of years ago), and the aforementioned Athalon 900 Mhz 512 Meg, (hopefully) 30 gig drive, CD-RW, 17" GEM monitor (SOYO Motherboard), and 2 USB ports.

I also sport a Palm m505, with a 64M expansion card (No, I can't figure out how to use that much RAM either!)

Come on, guys, help me out about my hard drive problem!

 

I built an AMD 750 Duron on a tyan 2390B MB. Totally stable and plenty fast for my needs. The tyan board is not made for overclockers but I really don't understand the need to OC given todays prices on amd chips. Anyway, the tyan board has to be the most simple board to assemble a system around. but what does any of this have to do with f150.

I bought a new one back in April its a HP Pavilion it has a 766MHZ Celeron processor 30 GB hard drive cd rom cdrw drives.

 

well...I am not much into the computers, but mine out ran me in the quarter mile once. It is like 700 mhz or something.

 

AMD is the way to go....the pent. IV's are garbage.....mine:

AMD Athlon 1 gig overclocked to 1.6
40 gig HD
Geforce 3 64mg 3d card
DVD-rom
CDRw
Boston Acoustic digital surround
in the process of adding lexan windows and a neon light kit...


i get bored

 

AMD Tbird 1.4ghz @ 1.7GHz w/ GlobalWin CAK38
768MB Ram CAS3, PC145MHZ
Asus A7V
Geforce 2 GTS Pure
TDK VeloCD 24x

 

Hey RR Triton,
If you think P4's are garbage maybe you should read this-

http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1525&p=2

 

i have read that article....i think that is amazing....but i was addressing what has been released to date and the fact that pent III have performed better then the IV's with slower core and clock speeds...so until those chips are let loose....i will stay on AMD's side.....i thank you for pointing that out though... also in the case of computers the fastest possible speed isn't always better. the released p4's have already proven that.

 

Anyone here beside me got a dually??
I'm running dual PIII-866MHz cpu's on a Supermicro PIII-DR3 with 256MB RDRAM. But there's more than just MHz's... The PIII-DR3 sports Adaptec Ultra-160 SCSI to which I've hung a Seagate Cheetah x15 15,000 RPM hard drive. Video is powered by a Matrox Millenium G450 dual head feeding a single Viewsonic VG-150 flat panel.

I've also got a full 802.11b wireless network for my iPAQ handheld PC. My preference is still with Intel although AMD is a serious and worthy competitor.

 

thats a great set-up Y2k....my friend that heads up networking for Microsnot...has almost the same set up at home...they can handle quite a load...

 

AMD Thunderbird 800Mhz on a MSI board, 640MB of Ram 40GB HDD and a 10GB HDD for scratchdisk. ATI Rage (sucky) 32MB video card.

Saving up for a new 64Bit Intel processor. Forget the PIV wait for the new one to come out!

 

What motherboard do you have rr triton and fast54triton? I know someone that has a 1.4 and the fastest he can o/c it to is 1522 since the board is locked. He has the asus a7m266. I am thinking of getting the asus a7v266.

 

I built mine for less than $600 which was my goal. It's a 667 Celeron on a DFI main board, 128 ram, 7.5GB system drive, 30GB file storage drive, 8mb NVidia TNT Video, 50X cd-rom, and a 32bit CL Soundblaster (which I pump through my home stereo at 120 watts through my monster Cerwin Vega's.. more power.. grunt... ). I got my monitor seperately for $350. It's a Dell 19".
Oh yeah.. OS.. I dual boot Win2000 and Win95. This rig seems to run great. I've been running for a year now and it's solid and pretty quick.
