Rogue Nine Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 Celerons....WinME....ACK. It's enough to make me want to go Athlon and Linux.
talldudeX Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 Also it's a compaq presario which was bought out by hp, and it's not even customized because it's store bought
Darth Homer Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 AMD Athalon k-7 40 gig hd 1 gig (overclocked to 1.33 ) 384 mb sdram (256 + 128) Thunderbird motherboard 56k modem AND Ethernet card 64 mb Geforce 4 mx 420 graphics card Wireless Intellimouse Internet keyboard 17" normal old monitor (I want a panel...but who doesn't?) normal speakers (great sound, though...these are actually from my old computer, they were better than the new ones that came with this system) normal cd-rom...don't need to burn music and dvd-roms have crappy resolution anyway. I'll stick with my xbox for DVDs. Win XP Pro (a friend got me a copy that you only have to input a cd key to use and nothing else...beats the **** outta ME)
Rogue Nine Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 At least you've got a passable operating system. Now why the hell would you need a 56K and an Ethernet card? Seems a bit redundant. Not again with the GeForce 4 MX....*sobs*

Seems a bit redundant. it's helpful if say, your high-speed connection hasn't been installed yet and you still want to check e-mail or forums.....which did happen to me when I first moved into my apartment.
WolfmanNCSU Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 Now why the hell would you need a 56K and an Ethernet card? Seems a bit redundant. I have both 56k & NIC. I was originally using a dial up on my computer when I first got it. Then added a NIC when I upgraded to cable, so I just left the modem in. It does not take up anything that I would be using anyway, so I just leave it there instead of with the rest of my computer pieces. I also forgot about my small HD, some 5 GB that I got from work. I only use it for testing or very temp storage. Win XP Pro (a friend got me a copy that you only have to input a cd key to use and nothing else...beats the **** outta ME) What you have is the corp edition. It does not require an activation. No Microsoft corp editions do, its for bulk licenses. However, check if you CD key starts with FCKW, then beware of the new SP1 being release sometime at the end of the month. It is suppost to deactivate your registration, but dont worry. There are ways around this too....

Kryllith Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 Originally posted by talldudeX Intel celeron 866 with internal graphics so, so? i don't care Sounds like me too, and I don't care either. Only thing I've done to it is added 128 megs RAM and a DSL modem. Works fine for me, though I may buy another system in a little bit. Kryllith
Tie Guy Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 Originally posted by talldudeX @Wolfman: What is NIC? Basically a network card for connecting to the internet through broadband. I think it stands for Network Interface Card, but i'm really not sure so someone correct me if i'm wrong.
Sherack Nhar Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 You are correct, Tie Guy. I have a NIC, it's a standard Linksys, which is unfortunately hooked to a router... I have many problems with it
