WoW o.O
4GB RAM...
2TB disk space...
14 computers...

I just won't say anything, except mine's got at least 2 ram.

Is there a way to buy [CENSORED]loads more ram/memory? I know little of computers.

Soon to be:

Ram: 2 GB
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon x1800xt
Processor: AMD 64 3500 @ 2.2 GHz
HDD: 160 GB Sata 3 Gb/s
OS: XP


Peemonkey, There is a way.

 Quote:Originally posted by peemonkeyIs there a way to buy [CENSORED]loads more ram/memory? I know little of computers.

The biggest ram chip you can get is a 1 gig, I believe. I bought a 512MB for $60. Most computers have four slots, laptops usually have two slots, and those awsome less-than-one-month-old desktops can have eight.

see my edit.

you have more servers than i have guns! i've still got more knives than your servers though :)

I got an extra 512 mb ram for $30.

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice Core @ 2.3 Ghz
ATI Radeon X800XL
1GB ram
a dvd burner and a second cd drive
160 GB hard drive

pfahahhahah

Manufacturer: Celeron
Processor: AMD Duron 750 Mhz
Memory: 128 mb Ram
Hard drive: 8 gb
Video card: Dunno

how the hell could celeron be your manufacturer, celeron is a cheap line of pentium processors.

EDIT: btw my computer was $500

I think everyone knows im running the worse computer

I've gotta agree with dascoo, I didn't think celeron made computers

I'm soon to be getting a laptop, thats just like my Desktop comptuer. after that, when I get some work, I'll do a major overhaul on both computers, and get them running half decent games. (although my desktop seems to run SOF2, Halo, UT, BIA alright, except my HDD is screwed, which is making the comp lag so much. Computer parts here in Aussie cost to much for my budget. I guess I could go on Ebay...

246MB RAM

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs)

Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset (crappy integrated card)

I intend to improve on this vastly by August

SadistAtHeart: upgrade to a gigabyte of RAM and you'll see an insane speed increase. There's no way that you can continue to use that with only 246MB RAM, especially because integrated graphics uses that memory too.

Also , HyperThreading != 2 CPUs, even though windows XP tells you it is

lol mar77a your computer sawks ;O

mine does too.

1Gig VERY NICE Corsair RAM (the only good thing about my computer)
1.3 GHz AMD Athlon I bought in 2001
nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
sexxah logitech mouse
20G Hard drive, 12 of which is taken by music and 6 by games.

Soon to be:

everything the same but new motherboard and an AMD Venice-core @ 2.2 Ghz

1.33 GHz PowerPC G4

512mb

14'' iBook

Looking forward to getting a Black MacBook, or a MacBook Pro

mar77a's computer bugs me, its made by pentium, but it has an AMD processor......

Wait wait, it just hit me, Flies you own 19 computers and you asked us for donations?
I mean what on earth can our donations help? and how the hell did you fund all those computers..
Just wondering, no offense meant.


My computer is , I think the second suckiest here.. not sure though:
P4- 1.6ghz
Ram: 512 it was 256 but I "upgraded"
G-Force2- 64mb I think MMX or something, not sure..

Oh and I have another computer in my living room that was suposed to be used as a "movie" computer, its a P-2 350 that I overclocked to 450 with 128mb of ram and a Voodoo3 graphic card , which is just the minimum requirments for playing divx movies, but then the HD died and that's the end of that..

Ok I needed the donations at the time because I did not have a job and I was entirely broke. I can afford 16 computers because I do have jobs most of the year, and my servers are pretty much the only thing I spend the money on.

I'm glad we have brick to tell us about computers, i have no clue how they work/how to work them

EDIT: Speaking of which, anyone know where to get cheap RAM?

yulp, or at my dads

hey FLAB, ur the king of linux, tell me..whats the best (and smallest) version of linux, that will run on a Pentium II with 8gig HDD (I'm building a computer for a friend, and yea...) They don't want XP...besides..my XP disc took a bath in some twats Lemonade..so the disc is F*cked...and how can I get linux and Windows XP on the same computer? (I want the same set up as you when I get my new laptop)
Help would be apprieciated...

livingdalife, I said in my main post in this thread what operating systems all of my computers run

3 of the 4 hard drives I bought for my current system are no longer functioning so I decided to finish building my 64 bit.

AMD 64x 3500+ 2.2Ghz
DFI LanParty UT DDX2000
2 X 512MB Dual channel
2 X SATA 3.0gb/s 80GB Hard drives in a Raid 0 config
ATI Rage video card ;)
Windows XP 64x edition

Clear acrylic case
2 UV lights
Internal DVD burner
Internal CD
External CD burner
Floppy Drive :D


Upgrades expected in the next 4 months...
+2 512MB dual Channel
+2 Crossifre video cards

Upgrades expected in the next 8 months...
+4 80GB SATA (4 in a Raid 0+1, 2 in a Raid 0)

Upgrades in the next 12 months....
AMD 64x X2 4600
Windows Vista

bja don't install Vista, you will likely regret it if you do

The whole reason I'm going 64 bit is to be able to do more at once. In my line of work I usually have...
Photoshop
Imageready
Visual Studio 2003 (f*** studio 2005)
un-named ftp
un-named html program
several folders
a few images
3 Browsers with several tabs open on each
Thunderbird
chat programs
windows media player

.... all open constantly.

Occasional others...
Flash
Illistrator
Skype
RealVNC

I never wait for one task to finish before switching to another. I need full 64 bit support.
I hear win XP 64x doesn't take full advantage of being 64x.
And since I can't get linux versions of the industry leading programs (mostly flash and photoshop), I cant switch over. Although I am using a linux partition for all my 3D rendering with a FAT partition to communicate files between OSs.

Long explination short, as much as I really don't want to. I will still have to when it comes out.

shoover, thats a pretty good setup.

Oops for got to post me server specs....

Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz
254MB RAM
20 GB hard drive
OS: Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition :D

http://syn.u13.net/~ryan/equip

^ pictures of the servers that I have at home right now

[IMAGE]

^ omg..thats the best pic ever!

Let's see here...

Manufacturer: My dad pieced it together
HDD: Maxtor 30G
CD/DVD Drives: Samsung DVD ROM and a (half-broken...) Pioneer DVD RW, and YAY, a 3 quater inch floppy drive!
Keyboard: Black/Silver (Sexiest thing on my machine) Genius KB-29e
Mouse: (Lamest thing on my machine) hP ball mouse, my sister's PS/2 port died so she took my sexy blue optical (it was USB...)
Network Adaptors: TP-LINK 11b/g Wireless Adapter
Videocard: NVIDIA GeForce Ti 4200
Processor: Intel Celeron 1.7 GHz Chip
Sound: Black XSonic 2.1 (I'm not sure but) Surround Sound
USB: 2 2.0 ports and 2 (more broken) 1.1 ports
Monitor: A Grey (and lame) ViewSonic E70 (what the hell is ViewSonic?)
RAM: 256 MB
Operationg System: Windows XP Home Edition (Was at one stage Windows ME, unless that was my old computer)

That's pretty much it.

By the way, if you don't know some of the internal hardware (video card, , you CAN check the Device Manager, it has information on Hard Drives, Optical Drives, Video Cards and more. It is in My Computer => Properties => Hardware Tab.

Um whose computer has 8 RAM slots? my computer has 4 >_> imagine having 8 slots though 0_0 and 8 gigs of RAM.....

 Quote:Originally posted by dascooUm whose computer has 8 RAM slots? my computer has 4 >_> imagine having 8 slots though 0_0 and 8 gigs of RAM.....


Someone bought a server board by mistake.

....ok......now i'm confused

Personal computers have no need for 8 ram slots, doesn't XP only support 4 GB of ram any way. Only servers are loaded with extra crap like that.

XP only supports 4GB of RAM because it runs on 32-bit processors.

so thats when 64bit technoligy comes in...but as far as i know, theres no compatibility for 64bit and Windows XP.
Please Explain!

Windows XP Pro 64 bit edition, Windows server 2003 64 bit edition, .Net framework and Windows Vista (was build on .Net Framework).
That's all of the windows products that support 64 bit technology. Even if you operating system was not designed for a 64 bit processor you can still run as 32 bit.

Linux is way ahead of windows for 64 bit support. Most linux distros have full 64 bit support.

*goes and buys a 64bit processor*
I find it funny.
I have all that *minimal requirements* for my PC, and its slow as hell. I thought it was a virus, but I did a virus check and it came out with nothing...When I first got my PC, it had Windows XP on it, and it ran fine...hell, when I first got it, I ran Unreal Tournament 2004 on it. Now I can't even run Brothers In Arms...and if I'm listening to music, and decide to do sumthing else (load up Firefox, or check my emails with Outlook Express, I get this real ugly sound, like my music slows down and the comp lags for a few seconds...Please explain?
I thought about re-installing Windows...but sum dumbass twat in my family decided to spill lemonade all over my computer desk, and hit my 200 dollar Windows XP cd...so I'm pretty much screwed...can some-one help me cure my PC???...
PLZ?...

take some [CENSORED] off your computer that you dont need?

Never go any longer than a year without reformatting your hard drive. Windows was designed to make things work faster but it actually makes things slowed in the long run. Every time you install a program, every time you run a program, every time you visit a website, basically everything you do creates a temp file or two (thousand). A lot of the temp data does get deleted but over time you will notice it starts slowing down due to the access of crap left over from every day use.

Not sure if linux has the same problem because I never used it for long periods of time.... FLAB?

For the record, the CD wasn't 200$. The product key is $200 you can get software free.

First pic is the old computer. All the rest are the new one.

sexy case man

Why do people place lights in their cases.

Lights generate heat. Heat != effeciency.

Lapis, that is why they use cold cathode tubes ;)
