BrianHodge86 Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I'm still waiting for a big break so I can improve my computer. *drools thinking about 4GB of DDR and a 2.6Ghz Athlon XP*
True Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I used to run a 650AMD, 2x6gb HD, 256mb sdr, tnt2m64 not too long ago... and my work box is a dual p3/500 I have computers all over the place, just becuase they're ancient doesn't take away from their usefulness. When I want to play old games for example I have a P/120 waiting for me. Also have two or three 233's doing some work for me. I used to have 5 486's networked but no need for those anymore. Misc parts everywhere, never know when I might need to use them, even though I always buy replacements even if one of those is available. Its not lack of trust in the equipment, its lack of usefulness for 1980's hardware. I dont know... And processors aren't hard to keep up on - 'cept you need to learn new geeky acronyms such as PNI, HT, DCDDR, MS, ....MS, QBM, SATA, GODIE and other nice things. ...to all those who have doubted me...come see me now...

Magus Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I'm still waiting for a big break so I can improve my computer. *drools thinking about 4GB of DDR and a 2.6Ghz Athlon XP* 4gigs of DDR is worthless, your never going to use THAT much ram..unless your burning a couple cds and want to play some MTA
BrianHodge86 Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I've got an old 486 w/o a hard drive for messing with basic programming, a 500mhz 2Gb computer for my Linux, and this one for regular computing. I have access to like fifty really old computers (tandy's, old IBM's, OLD Macs, etc.) But I have no real use for them...
Robpol86 Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 i know that mem ctrlr ISNT part of 64-bit processing, i didnt know that the manufactueres were gunna include it in there. and i hope that the prescot will have htt along w/ it fu xerox, i hate you
True Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Prescott will have "HTT Marketing Technology," as thats all it really is - a marketing ploy. And its not "manufacturers including it," it is something completely new AMD has introduced. Normally it follows Intel and plays it safe, but now they're betting the company on this... and its a really good idea. It has its drawbacks, but its advantages well outweigh them. ...to all those who have doubted me...come see me now...

BrianHodge86 Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 I'm thinking about ditching my Xp and going back to Windows 2000, is that a good or bad idea?
