I just got my computer together today and an idea popped up while doing it.

Everyone posts their computer specs by "The Nerd community®" approved form type. :p

[Your CPU/processor model, MHz frequency, usually referred as speed]ie. Pentium 3, 1,4 GHz
[System RAM,its frequency , how much you've got it]ie. DDR-200 MHz, 256 Mb
[Hard drive(/s, if more than one), size]ie. 1pcs, 80Gb
[Monitor, crt/lcd/plasma/TV, flat/not, size]ie. crt, flat, 17"
[Graphics Card, model, memory]ie. GeForce 2 64mb
[Internet connection, cable/xDsl/etc., speed]ie. Cable, 256kb/s
[Operating system]ie. Windows 98SE(I think it's pretty much the worst after 95)
[Cost]ie. 1000(insert EUR or USD etc.)
[anything else youd like to share?]


My Computer:
Pentium 4 Northwood, 3,0 Ghz
DDR-400 Mhz, 2048 Mb
3pcs, 494,1 Gb, 7200rpm
Samsung 1100PD, crt, flat, 21"
Ati Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb DDR
Cable, 1Mb/s
Windows 2000 Proo-fessional
1900€ whole package, case&power, mouse etc.etc...
Mine was quite expensive but worth it... me thinks :)
EDIT: Oh, just an after thought, I think that I have the best computer up here... Prove me wrong ARRRR! :p :lol:

Well, I’m going to cheat a bit because, while I don’t have this computer yet, I expect to be ordering it (or something very similar) shortly (I’m waiting for the video card to come in). My wife has decided we need 2 computers, so the new one will be a total package.

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
ASUS K8V Deluxe motherboard
ATI X800 Pro video card
1 GB PC3200 RAM
80 or 120 GB hard drive (haven’t decided yet)
Samsung 955DF monitor
4.1 or 5.1 speaker system (haven’t decided yet)
Sound card – not sure yet; maybe on-board (6 channel)?
On-board NIC
Windows XP (home vs. pro – haven’t decided yet)

The “excess” here is obviously the X800. Normally I would never consider spending that kind of money on a video card, but when you compare how much better the card performs compared to a 9800 Pro, I decided to bite the bullet on the price (unless I chicken out before putting in the order).

I expect this system will last me for several years.

(Note to Rastor – I think it will probably cost a bit more than $500 :p )

:) True that X800 is much better than 9800 pro, no question about that! Checked it my self, found it too costy. :p

I would highly recommend Windows XP Pro over Home anytime, because Home is(my opinion, very biased one) pretty much the same as the Pro but more limited and definitely worse than Pro, but then again I, myself, am nobody to talk as having 2000. Pro or not.

Alienware Area51 Extreme Notebook
Cobalt Blue Alloy
Intel® Pentium® 4 @ 3.4GHz 800FSB
Hyperthreading Technology
NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700
15.4 inch Wide SXGA 1680x1050 LCD
60GB 7200rpm HDD with 8MB Cache
One Gigabit Ethernet NIC
Infrared Remote control
4X DVD+RW Optical Disk Drive :cool:

Actually this notebook cost me 39 dollars. I bought Flight Simulator 2004 at this new computer store in the mall and won the grand opening prize which was this notebook. I find it funny I can run Flight Simulator and Far Cry with all the settings at max but have to turn off 3d acceleration to play BGII-SOA... :D

A pros notebook I'd say. Must have cost honey and beans.

Pentium 2, 233mhz
32mb RAM
45gb hardrive
17" monitor
ATI 3d RAGE pro 8mb
ADSL Cable, 500 kb/s
Windows ME(Yeah, I know. :p )
24x CD drive
Home built, estimated at ~200 USD

Easily the worst computer at SP used as the main playing computer, not a attic junk you haven't used since '98, I dare you to challenge me. The one that actually have a worse gets a free beer from Mystra. :D

Celeron 800 mhz

384 MB SDRAM (DIMM 133 mhz, using only 100 mhz because of the processor)

Riva TNT2M64 (sucks)

SB Live! Value

60 GB hard disk, some Seagate of 5600 speed

DVD 16x/CD 48X

some lightweight keyboard with a broken leg replaced with a piece of wood

ancient horizontal & vertical wheel mouse, not like the crap with two vertical wheels like they make today - and neither cordless nor optical

antediluvian LG Studioworks 520 Si monitor, 15'' supporting, gasp, up to 800 * 600 with refresh rate 85 and up to 1024 * 768 with 65

huge loudspeakers connected through audio set, on each side of the monitor

one empty beer can, two empty coffee cups, alternative mousepad

AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (~1,8 GHz)
512 Mb of 266 MHz DDR RAM
30 Gb HDD
17" TFT monitor ("Midnight grey" ;) )
MSI GeForce TI-4400 128 Mb
MSI Ultra-ARU Mainboard (Audio/RAID/USB2 integrated)
Windows 2000 (+ Knoppix when need)
DVD-Drive
CD-RW Drive
Microphone
Headphones
Explorer Mouse (Metallic)
LAN card

That's pretty much I can think about it, after digging up most of the details. ;) Value: ~1500€

P4 2,66 GHz
Asus P4PE GBL 1394 SATA
Western Digital 120GB 7200rpm
DDR 400 512MB PC3200
ATI Radeon 9500 128MB
Creative Live Audigy Player
Asus DVD E616 IDE
Sony CDRW 52x24x52 CRX-220E
Samsung Syncmaster 753DFX
Mustek PowerMust 600VA UPS
56K modem
A pair of crappy speakers
Windows XP Pro

AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (~1,8 GHz) That is not quite true due AMD chance of marketing tactics.

AMD uses something called Powersomething(?) measuring scale to prevent people make the mistake that Mhz are equal to speed/power of CPU.
The figure(1800+) that is after model name only represents AMDs estimate of its models speed/power compared to Intels Pentium based models.

This is because Intel has sworn to follow Moores law that states that CPU speed will double every 18 months, while following the law Intels models capasity of doing so and so much work in 1 clock cycle has dropped so they don't do as much work as AMDs models do. And most of the people don't realise this but just stare at the pretty numbers. :evil: Pretty good marketing, eh?

So AMD Athlon XP 1800+ hasn't got the Mhz rate of 1800 but (if I remember right) 1400.

1.3ghz AMD Athlon

Need a new one :'(

I treated myself to some new parts for my PC a few days ago.

Gforce fx6800 ultra 256
Asus p4c800e deluxe
1gb pc4000 golden dragon ^^
sblive 5.1 sound card
P4 northwood 3.4

Still waiting for them

@ Shintel

I know, and I'm trusting enough to believe it. In fact, SiSoft Sandra benchmarked my system to be ~2,2 GHz, so I guess the processor really matches Intel's 1,8 GHz processor. The real frequency is actually 1,533 GHz, by the way. ;)

As I understand it an 1800+ is 1.4GHz, but it will actually out perform a 1.4 GHz P4

The manufacturers of this computer can't make up their minds about the spec, but this much I know:

P4 1.8GHz
256MB RAM (don't know anything else about it and it's not worth wasting revision time finding out) + a fairly pointless 1GB of swap space
40GB hard drive + 120GB external one
15" LCD screen
Crappy S3 prosavage chipset, with either 8/16/32 MB (stolen from my 256MB) - currently set to the default 16
edit: forgot sound card - some horrible via 8233 southbridge type thing
10 Mbps ethernet
Gentoo linux
(edit: I'll probably be dual booting with linux from scratch in a couple of months time - gentoo's package management system is based on good ideas, but it's far from perfect and some of it's tools don't work as well as they could without the help of the user, so I'd like to create my own based on portage and still using the same packages and mirrors (of course that'll take a long time to do after I've got the system up and running))

it's a crap laptop, but it was fairly cheap...

For what I do it's ok, I'd like to have some more speed but fortunately my graphics card, amount of RAM and my fast drives well compensate for my silly CPU; anyway, my CPU is my comp's bottleneck and I'll upgrade it sometime, this year, next year - not really an issue of urgency, much more "nice to have"

Woah Shintel, you have an awesome rig!

Nice to see you finally post, TBR.
Are you planning to upgrade anytime soon?

Why do I get the feeling this is a complete and utter bragging thread?

The price above also includes a 15" lcd that I hooked up to my old PC that my wife now uses. Of course, that was after I hooked both the LCDs up to my new PC just to try out a dual display. Pretty nice, but NWN does not take advantage of 2 screens, so it had to go.

So it matters not that you have no system ram? :p

@ Wirhe

Yes I agree that ADM(or was it AMD?, never rememberd that... and don't want to change it right) is neck to neck with Intel :p regardless you saying so or not :p :D

meant so something else but got... (what was that word again in english?) (aivokatkos)

how come so few use linux as their main OS?
I find it way better than windows anyday.

Ach, wont bother posting my spesifications...to much work for a sleepy mind right now... :sleep:

So few of us use Linux because we either too lazy to install it, or we have no idea how. I fall into BOTH camps.

I haven't been able to buy any new game in the last 2 years or so, but it is still my pride and joy:

Intel Pentium III 750Mhz

15" TFT screen powered by an 8MB S3 RAGE IX/WM video card
ESS Alegro 16bit soundcard (and built-in speakers, wow!)

DVD 16x/CD 48x
I don't even know the modem specs because I always connect to the internet at work... it's free, yes, but I miss all the multiplayer games, though.

EUR 1400, when I bought this laptop it was top of the tops... aaaah, nostalgia.
