Computer Call - Do you have a decent computer?

[cayalee]

have a 2.2ghz running at 1.8, with 768 ddr ram and ati 128mb gfx (still cant get it running right in linux) also got dvd and cd-rw drive and 60gb hdd.
also got a 233mhz 64mb hp omnibook running DSL, and an apple G3 blue/white tower goin with os/x 10.3 on it, (256 ram).
my sis's pc i built ages ago is a 1.4 with 256mb ram and geforce fx5200 (was mint at the time now runs suse 9.1 as my other proper desktop does.)
all networked together. tis quite a cool network really..

I voted nice

my desktop:

Pentium 4 3.2GHz (Soon to be swapped out for an AMD Athlon 64 3000+)
1Gb RAM
80gb Hard Drive
(Just sold my graphics card, looking for a new one)

and my laptop:

Pentium M 1.7GHz
512mb RAM
80gb Hard Drive
ATI Radeon 9000 Mobile

Both run great, though my desktop is about to get upgraded. I'm looking for a solid nVidia card, and plan to make the jump from Intel >> AMD. I'm starting with a lower-end 64bit processor with a plan to upgrade it to a dual core down the road

i´ve got a Satellite 2450-401 laptop

2.8 GHz, 512 MB, 40 GB, NVIDIA GeForce4™ 420 Go 32 MB, DVD player, CDR, networking and a wifi PCMCIA to make it complete.

i nkow that there is best machines, this one´s getting older, although i voted pretty nice because it is all i need.

i think people usually try harder to get the ultimate machines and mostly of them dont always take advantage of it. and i use this one´s all day long, harder.. just a thougth

At home I have a P III 800MHz, 128 MB RAM, 10GB hard disk, NVIDIA GeForce2 MX video card. I assembled it myself a couple of years before the big economic crash down here. Still works pretty fine, which is a relief (still haven't recovered enough to buy a new one).

[soulbrothax831]

Voted "Not too bad".

AMD64 3500+ 2.2GHz
Asus A8V Motherboard VIA Chipset
1GB RAM PC3200
74GB SATA Hard Drive
2 x 250GB SATA Hard Drives
Sony DVD/RW
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
nVidia Geforce 6600GT

Don't really use it for what it was oringinally made for anymore. Can't find the time to play all the wonderful games...Sucks when work eats up all your free time.

Mine still runs fine. I'm not into the heavy DE's, I use Enlightenment 16.8 from CVS and fbpanel, and Arch is very speedy. Still though, I'm getting the itch, I'm just about to the point of building a Turion or Pentium M based desktop rig with a nice 15k SCSI / drive and a big SATA RAID 5 storage array.

But right now I'm still running a:

Asus P3V4X
P3 600E at 800EB
1GB PC133
GeForce 3
Hercules GTXP
40GB WD 7200RPM
Plextor 52x24x52

I think the gig of RAM is what's really keeping this thing so smooth even now, my next build will have 2GB I think, for longevity as a file server/firewall/jabber server/email server

[GNU_man]

At home I have a P III 800MHz, 128 MB RAM, 10GB hard disk, NVIDIA GeForce2 MX video card

That's still a decent machine. Almost the same spec as my laptop and Linux runs fine. I used to be gung-ho about keeping up with the lastest hardware but after spending over $2000 in 2 years for a machine that is now worth about $300 i eventually realised it's a losing game. I'm happy with what i have.

[jnev]

my pc's ok, i voted for the not too bad.. i built it a few months ago, and i figure i'll keep it for another year or so before i upgrade. specs are in my sig.

my laptop on the other hand, i'll subject to the old and crap category... my dad got it in 1998, gave it to my a few months ago since he didn't need it anymore (neither do i, but i won't refuse a free laptop). i formatted it and it now runs dsl 1.2 solely with no windows to bother it or slow it down. specs are also in my sig.

[GNU_man]

hey that laptop's still good. i've got an old PII 400mhz 128mb ram that runs FreeBSD 4.x with Enlightenment DM perfectly. Great for experimenting with distro's on.

[benjamin20]

oldish hewlet-packard computer. i voted not to bad because its realy not terrible but cant play the newer games on it. runs linux well though. i used to run windows and curse this thing but in linux it goes almost as fast as i want it to. specs are in my sig.

but, i am building a new one. im spending about 1500 on it though but thats going to be a compeat rplacement of everything. including perhipials, all of them. its cool

i have
sunbeam tranformer blue. case
mge 600 watt (or so it says) power supply
2x aerocool centaurus's (i have to mount them on the outside of the case)
2x aerocool turbines
1x aerocool led fan
gigabyte k8nxp-sli motherboard (this thing is the pride of my rig)
amd athlon64 "venice" 3200
gigabyte 3d rocket cpu heatsink (its masive, but still looks cool and looks like it will perform well)
plextor 712 sata cdrom
1 gig corsair xms 2-3-3-6
2x light stick thingys

still to get
2x seagate sata 80gig
BFG 6600gt
card reader
speakers
display
printer
