Thought it'd be cool for everyone to weigh in on what their primary PC is, as I figure some people here (like myself) are geeks. I'm lookin' to do some Rockets themed case-modding soon (when I get my Dremel tool -- hopefully for Christmas ) My System (aka Shodan) : Athlon (Slot A) 750 Mhz Overclocked at 787 Mhz Asus K7V mobo 128 Megs PC133 RAM Voodoo 3 3500 TV (overclocked from 183 to 200Mhz) one 15 gig 7200RPM HD and one 3.2 gig SB Live! Running dual-boot Linux (RH 6.2) and WinME Anyone else do any overclocking, etc? What's your PC?
uh. well i don't have a name for my PC (or car or male body parts)...i don't play games so i don't need anything fancy: AMD K-6 450Mhz, 128 MB Ram, 13 GB Hard Drive, 8x CD Burner, 17 inch monitor. Running Win98. [This message has been edited by outlaw (edited December 12, 2000).]

Why would you overclock a 750 Mhz processor to 787 Mhz? Do you really think you're going to see any noticeable benefit from it? You're just gonna **** your system up. Anyway: Dell Dimension XPS B, 600 Mhz, 128 MB RAM, 12 GB HD, 17" monitor. Pretty standard. I don't even like computers much so it didn't make much sense to go hog wild when I bought this one.
PII-400 192 megs of RAM tiny 6 Gig HD 8 meg Video Card cheap sound card 1 Sony Spressa USB CD-RW 1 Zip 100 this system is pretty bottom of the line these days, I think after the New Year, I am going to upgrade to a PIII with a big @ss HD and internal CD and zip.... DVD and all that stuff! If anyone would like to donate to the "rockHEAD new computer fund" email me! hehe... maybe I can get payPAL... hehe rH ------------------ *** THIS SPACE FOR LEASE ***
I don't see the point in overclocking your system by only 37 MHz. Overall your system will only experience negligible improvement performance-wise...likely so slight that you won't even notice. Hopefully your PC has a good cooling system, because overclocking generally causes the processor to run hotter & shortens the life of it....especially if you intend to overclock it more than you already have. Anyway, my PC is crap....but despite a few mishaps here and there I'm pretty much satisfied with it. For now.

With AMD Athlons and Durons, 700-900 MHz dropping down into the $70 - $125 range, and expected to drop further in about 5 weeks, hell I could build my own top-of-the-line PC for well under $1,000. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Cold Hard (edited December 12, 2000).]

I ended up going for "cheap" when I bought my computer last year, so I have a: eMachines Celeron 366, 64MB RAM, 3.4 GB HD (primary), 8.4 GB HD (secondary), CD-ROM, video and audio on the motherboard (I hate that, too, but when you go cheap, it's what you usually get), firewire card, ethernet card. I have another identical machine on the way (I ordered it yesterday) so I can have computers on the network in each room of my apartment (sometimes there are times I want to work in the bedroom, sometimes I want to work in the living room). I got one of those Linksys routers and a workgroup hub to set up a network. I also have a 180 MHz PowerMac Clone, but I don't like it, so I don't use it very often. ------------------ Houston Sports Board The Anti-Bud Adams Page

I'm not really sure. I just bought a couple more, I think...or maybe it was a rack. What's a rack? And why do they need to put Raid in them; I mean, "bugs" is just a figure of speech, No?
