Tie Guy Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I hate you. J/k, but really, i've been wanting a new computer for the longest time. My current specs stand at this: PentiumII 450mhz 17" Trinitron moniter (15.9" viewable) 224mb SDRAM 100mhz 10GB hard-drive 2GB hard-drive NVidia TNT 16mb video card Sound Blaster 32X CD-ROM and DVD drive 8-8-32X CDRW drive I bought it stock several years ago from Gateway and upgraded it. It was top-of the line at the time. My dream computer would be: Pentium4 2.0Ghz 512mb DDRAM 233Mhz 80GB hard-drive NVidia GeForce4 Ti6400 128mb video card (i wish ) and all the other normal stuff but thats only a dream.....right now i'll be satisfied with a computer that runs JKII...

darthfergie Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Wow Havoc...you got the upgrade alright! I'm happy to see you got the new version of Pent. 4s not the older version which is forced to use Rambus instead of DDR Ram... But no speeding (We mods have to do something while hanging around here;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Stryphe Posted March 27, 2002 Author Share Posted March 27, 2002 Yeah, I waited on purpose for the RAMBUS crap to run it's course. Anyways, speaking of Memory, it came in yesterday. 1 item down, 2 to go! By the way, just a tip for anyone looking into buying a P4 processor in the near future, make sure you opt for the new 512k cache on the chip. Standard is 256k, it was only a $3 difference for myself, and I have a feeling it will more than pay for itself in the future. By the way YD, I think your on to something with that why your a "low money Student" thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
