Why I Pone u all.

Post by Meph »

Right, I'm currently at my parents so everything is a bit makeshift at as i knicked my brothers room for the desk.

Pentium 4 1.7Ghz (single core)
1.2 GB RD RAM (thats right, the type DDR blew out the water :P)
250GB HDD runs Win XP
40GB HDD runs ubuntu
ATi Radeon 9600 256MB DDR ( can run top graphics no different from lower graphics)
1x DVDRW 1x DVD

You're gonna laugh so hard when you see this picture :cry:
yes the fan is necessary or my pc grinds to a halt, no its not overclocked.

it predates USB 2.0 so i have a USB 2.0 card slotted in aswell as 5.1 sound card cos usually i got those speakers in, but i cant play games in 5.1 cos it uses the cpu to co ordinate sound which i cant afford to spare.

I average out about 15 frames per second.

Upgrade is out of the question lol, the motherboard is practically antique now, so the bus speed etc is very low.

Bingo and I are going to build me one at the end of summer if i am ever so slightly less skint ;)

But, it still does well so I'll probably keep the old girl to do something ;)

Just install Linux on it and use it for pr0n. No one else will probably know what to do. "Argh it's not Windows, RUN AWAY!!!"

Get a job. £700 for a good base unit, keep your old mouse, keyboard and monitor.

Hah yeah, it's a damn fine PC.. If you live in 1999.

My old PC was a lot like that, awful soundcard though and a GeForce3 (64MB FTW!), only 768MB RDRAM though, but a 1.8Ghz Pentium 4. Plus the HDD is fucked, keeps freezing for 30ish seconds randomly when I access folders, it won't defrag because it can't handle it ^^ USB 2 card just the same... Ol' skool PCs ftw :)

Love my new one though, me and Meph built it last week <3 I'll spec you one for the end of the summer tonight Meph, you decided if you want ATi or nVidia yet? Need you to pick out a C2D and decide if you want a P35 mobo for a few years from now when Qcore comes in big style.
