Woohoo... New Computer

[Wayne Luke]

Well, since I got paid, I was able to finally pick up my new computer. It isn't the top of the line computer that most of you have but it is much better than anything I have had before.

CPU: AMD 1700XP+
Motherboard: MSI K7N2G
30 GB ATA 133 7200 RPM Hard Driver
DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive 42/16/42/16
256 Megabytes DDR 333 RAM (probably will increase to 512 at least)

The motherboard contains:
NVidia GEForce 4 AGP 8X Video with Dual Monitor Support w/ Television out
Dobly 5.1 Stereo Sound
100 Mbit Lan
6 USB 2.0 ports (4 rear, 2 front)
2 Firewire ports (IEEE 1394)

Total Cost: $453.00

Actually, purchased it for the kids but am thinking of keeping it for myself since it is better and faster than my current computer.

That's one hell of a motherboard to have all that stuff on it...

Well, i just had to format my pc, does that count as a new pc?

No comments.

That's a nice deal Wayne.

Wayne, assuming that's a T-Bred B chip (which most of the new 1700+'s are..)... they overclock like insane speed demons.

I wouldn't be surprised if you could get almost 1.8GHz on air, or more.... and if you have a NF2 mobo the PCI bus and AGP bus are locked... up that FSB!!

Awesome, especially for that kind of price! I'd like to get a piece o' that for my local server over here.

The previous computer was:
AMD Athlon 1700XP+
256 MD 133 SDRAM
ATI RAGE 8MB AGP 4X
40 MB Hard Drive
DVD 16X
Lite-On CD-RW 52/24/52X

And it is only a year old. It cost me more though.

Still setting this new one up. Have downloaded over 130 MB of updates from Windows Update. I also now have a 13 Gigabyte Backup drive installed in it.

If you have a store near you, set your account on their website properly and you can order online and pick it up in the store. That is what I do just to save shipping. Have to pay sales tax but it isn't that bad.

Did you build it? I have bought two machines from COMPAQ and HP, one from each in the past, now that i built my own machine i have learned so much and i will never go back

[Wayne Luke]

I have been building my own machines since 1985. The only way I would purchase a prebuilt machine is if I was purchasing a Laptop.

Hmm... I see how technologically-advanced the hard drive is. C'mon, you knew someone had to that!
