Your system specs/Your next Computer

[Ramzy]

Here's a twist on the "post your system specs" topic that we see all too often...


First, my current system specs:

Old PC:

600 mhz P3 processor

128 mb of RAM

32 mb Diamond Viper Graphics card (Nvidea)

10 gig hard drive

CD Drive (not sure of the speed, 24x, I think).



Now, the PC that I'm currently on:

2.0 ghz P4

256 mb of RAM

40 gig hard drive

64 mb Nvidea Geforce4 MX (Say what you want about it, it runs UT2K3 BEAUTIFULLY)

16x DVD Drive

48X CD-RW drive (second bay)





Now, the twist; If you're planning on buying a new PC fairly soon, go ahead and post what system specs you think that one will have.

So, here we go:

Dell Dimension 4600

2.8 ghz P4

1 gb RAM

128 MB Radeon 9800 graphics card

60 gig hard drive

16x DVD drive

48x CD-RW drive

15 inch Flat panel display

My server:
AMDK6 400, 128 MB Ram, Suse Linux 7.2, 300 Gig HD Space

My Notebook:
Pentium 2,4 GHz, 512 MB DDR, 40 Gig HD, PCMCIA Card Reader (essential for a GP32 ), 15" Flat Pen Monitor, External Pioneer DVD-R Writer

My compositing suite:
AMD 2800+, 1 Gig DDR, 80 Gig HD, PNY Quadro 750 XGL Graphics, HP Spacemouse, A3 Pen Tablet, 2xSun 22" Monitors (running both at 1600x1200).
Internal Pioneer DVD-R Writer

Edititing Suite:
G5 Dual 1,8 GHz, 1 Gig RAM, 80 Gig HD, 2x IBM 17" Monitors

Future System:
I will switch the compositing suite either to a 64bit PC or G5 Dual 2 Gig... depends on the software manufacturers...

 

[GP34]

My comp:

Amd xp 2200
512 ddr pc2100 ram
GeForce 5200 Fx 256 mb Video card
80 Gb hard drive
Flat Screen 17 inch monitor
Uh that's about it i believe...

 

[NssOne]

Athlon XP 2000+
256 PC3200 DDR400
38GB C: drive
55GB D: drive
Just a stupid 16MB Viper Diamond video card until I can save up for an ATI Radeon 9700
40x CDRW

I'm trying to save up for more parts, but won't be able to afford them because I'm trying to build something else.

 

[Tobriand]

Well, at the moment I'm typing on my dad's P4 2.8GHz machine. But my machine is a P3 1Ghz, GeForce FX 5200, 128mb ram (usually 256), and a couple of 20gb HDDs. Win 2000.

Once my motherboard arrives (which hopefully it will in the not too distant future - yeah, right ), I'll be upgrading to an AthlonXP 2.6 Barton core, 512mb DDR3500 (oddly enough worked out substantially cheaper than going for 3200DDR from the same company - weird), and sticking with the same HDDs, GFX, and my good ole Live 5.1 Player soundcard...

 

[IntenseWage]

Geez, I've got you guys all beat for what is obviously the BEST computer.

Celeron 500 cpu
Voodoo 3000 AGP
512 megs RAM
50 gig HD
10x8x24 (I think) cd-r/cd-rw burner
52x cd-rom
3.5 floppy (lollerskatez)
17 in monitor (no flatpanel/screen, but I never liked those)
Windows 98 with web-integration off so everything FLIES (easily my fav version of Windows)

As you can tell, this thing is obviously a power-house computer internet machine technology.

 

[NssOne]

Voodoos were coll, I had a 3500 AGP TV, but they changed the AGP slot standard when they made 8x, so I had to find a PCI video card to use. How lame, I would be kicking ass with my comp if I had a good video card and more RAM.

 

[rcx21000]

My comp:

866MhZ P3
256MB RAM
10GB & 40GB HD (the 40GB one is partitioned, 10GB for linux, and 30GB for windows)
TNT2 32MB gfx card
CRT xx" screen (too lazy to find out)

My laptop:

266MhZ Pentium w/ MMX
32MB Ram
3GB HD
some type of old gfx card (all I know is that it has 2MB RAM)


But this is sooooo unfiar: One of my 'friends' (actually just someone who comes to my house sometimes... and I don't really like him that much) just got a 3GhZ P4 computer for christmas And the worst part is that he is the absolute dumbest computer person ever, and I, who (at least IMHO) know a lot more about comps than him, am stuck with a sloooooow 866MhZ P3

Mine will be either PowerMac G5 or then more probably Pegasos (http://www.pegasosppc.com/) running MorphOS or Liiimux. :rolleyes:

 

[Axeman]

Oooooooo

So you're a blue one rather than a red one then eh Mr Spiv?



I played with AmigaOS4 on an A1 a few weeks ago, and it's looking nice! MorephOS is noce too though. Why so anti-x86?

Past system:

Athlon 1800+
Geforce2MX 32mb
256mb DDR RAM
Soundblaster Live
DVDROM & CDRW
15" Samsung monitor
80GB Deathstar HD. (which of course died)

I am now using a:

VIA Epia M10000 (1GHz VIA CPU, CPU-fan controlled with a Zalman fanmate)
Onboard graphics
256mb DDR RAM
Soundblaster Live
DVDROM & CDRW
15" Samsung monitor
