its amazing, that thing actually works now. hahaha, last time i saw it, it was collecting dust.

yep, too bad I CANT SEE ANYTHING WITH IT! so its pretty much collecting dust anyways...

Nice computer man nice.....

give me

Dude mine looks like crap compared to that thing mine is ****OLD****

mines an eMachines T3882 model
it was a piece of garbage when i first got it but then i upgraded just about everything (except processor)
it came with 256 mb ram but now i got 1.5 gb
i added wireless, a new videocard, and soon a new hard drive
and once my sister totalls her computer im taking her cd/dvd burner drive

A PC build is always a lot of fun if you have the parts. Oh and to anyone who comments, you know you're jealous. ;)
Everyone know I am!

That computer is as powerful as a Dell Demension 4700.You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble.

Sure,why not?I am planning to build my own computer,but I might get lazy and get a Koobox instead.

That computer is as powerful as a Dell Demension 4700.You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble.no

Christ; are you referring to NaPaLm's computer, or the Emachine?my comp owns the 4700

I wish mine did. :(hahaha. wow. your sarcasm is horrible...

Did you ever get your PC working?
Nope, but I RMA'd the 2 bad parts on Saturday and they shipped the stuff Monday. It should get to California by Friday, be computed and send me a replacement by Tuesday. I should get everything back by the following Monday. On that Tuesday either I will be using my new computer or I will video record myself destroying all of it.

Did Geek Squad give you a ballpark estimate? I bought my computer at Best Buy so I asked them and they said it would cost me about $200.00.

How much did you end up paying for it? $200?

Good job on the computer, it looks nice!

MAN u guys must be comp. geeks. its all greek to me!:dunce:

It's still a piece of crap if it's eMachines.

you dont have 1.5GB of ram. Emachines come with 2 MEM slots. LIAR!!!

He could have one 1gig stick and one 512mb stick.

Did he say that it was dual channel?

He could have one 1gig stick and one 512mb stick.i just figured it out...

Actually it wouldn't matter anyways. Intel's front side bus really limits your memory bandwidth.

Actually it wouldn't matter anyways. Intel's front side bus really limits your memory bandwidth.but it does allow for DDR2

but it does allow for DDR2
Too bad DDR2 has much higher latencies, and also is bottle necked on most intel systems due to the 800MHz BUS.

Too bad DDR2 has much higher latencies, and also is bottle necked on most intel systems due to the 800MHz BUS.not my problem..i have a 3700+. WEEEEEEEEEE.

Now that we're bragging...X2 4800+ @2.62GHz.

Now that we're bragging...X2 4800+ @2.62GHz.BOOOOOO!!!!!

i was actually refering to the AMD vs. Intel factor, but whatever...

BOOOOOO!!!!!

i was actually refering to the AMD vs. Intel factor, but whatever...
Oh well.

not my problem..i have a 3700+. WEEEEEEEEEE.
I think I just have a 3500+ but it does fine for me.

Is there any reason for this extra power besides FPS games?

To show off and also to be more capable of being able to play more games without lagging as much.

Software compiling, video editing, CAD.

Never thought of that.Ugh,video editing is such a CPU hog.

Sometimes it just is.

I personally enjoy doing 80 billlion things at once. I would go for a dual-processor, now that their speeds have surpassed that of normal processors. But, they are too expensive for me.

Dual processors are starting to become fads because of the fact the high graphic games and stuff are starting to get better and better in their graphics and usage of memory.

Dual processors are starting to become fads because of the fact the high graphic games and stuff are starting to get better and better in their graphics and usage of memory.a fad is something that dies off easily, and after a short period of time. I think multi-core processors are here to stay.

Hmmmm...What if you copied the DLL files from the final version of Windows Vista into Windows NT 4.0,forming a ultra-light version of Vista?That would mean more power for applications.

Dual processors are starting to become fads because of the fact the high graphic games and stuff are starting to get better and better in their graphics and usage of memory.
As MrNaPaLm said, it's not a fad.

Okay fine...we can say more like something that's happening more frequently.

A progressive trend is more like it.

Yeah...like that. Probrably I'll get into that trend sooner or later when I have the money.

My computer hasn't failed in 18 days!!!

Do you mean crashed? Is this the one you built?

I think so...there can't be another one he is bragging about.

Do you mean crashed? Is this the one you built?
Yep, the new one in my sig. I had reformatted it 8 times before because the system32&system folders corrupted. I haven't had any errors yet since my last reformat! (This is the one I built) I just added a 250GB S-ATA HDD.

When I built my computer I never really had to reformat, it just turned out that newegg sent the parts and everything I bought perfectly.

Only problem with your system is the X800 GT.

X800 Gt??

Exactly.

Right...

It's an X800 GT!

i dont have a witty comment, but i used to be funnier as no knife

my computer is so tizzight. it's got like 10 fans, like 1000 terabytes of memory. it has so much ram too, so much that i have to have a seperate box that sits on top, just to hold the extra ram i have. and like this big button on the front that kills old people. and i have like a big screen tv hooked up as my monitor.

hahha hilarity.

Yes...it sure is the "tizzight".

hahha hilarity.
OMG IM NOT LIEK THAT U FEG!!1

Random...

Yeah it's a very nice bottom of your operating system but you don't see that much try turning on the light, if i was gonna show a picture of my workstation i would make the picture more visible but since were on the subject heres what my place looks like.

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6004/voodoosworkstation029it.jpg

The one in the left has 1 and half gigs of ram and x800 256 ati graphics card, tft moitor, 5.1 speakers and high speed usb hubs with ethernetcards and external hard drives, The one on the right is for my hard work cause it has 4 gigs of ram and a powerfull motherbaord that can handle high data speeds and it's got a standard 80 gig hardrive, it's only got a 128mb graphic card cause it's not for gaming or design just heavy grafting with powerfull projects but i enjoy watching movies while i'm working so i got a 17" high defenition monitor which i watch my movies through and play my 360 through.

BTW : The laptop is just for looking at websites i wouldn't normally look at incase my files get hacked and people steal my ideas and pass them off as their own, like illegal download sites full of spyware so the lap top is my quarantine procedure.

The one on the right is for my hard work cause it has 4 gigs of ram and a powerfull motherbaord that can handle high data speeds and it's got a standard 80 gig hardrive

If you do a lot of work on your main PC with 4GBs of RAM, I'd recommend RAID 0 for ultra fast read/write speeds and a RAID 1 array for data security. Dual core processors are the new standard for high performance computing.

I'm not saying your setup isn't good, but for high performance disk space and security RAID0+1 is a great idea.

Yeah i hear you man but i'm happy with my set up as it is for now but heres a picture i took a while back with my pooch on my table where she sits when were both bored out of our skulls i've never met a dog quite like her she's happy sitting anywhere she doesn't even sit on the couch she sits on the head rests not the arm rests.

tower/cpu (not the real cpu basicly the case)
cd/dvd drive ( you put a cd/dvd here nothing else)
floppy drive ( that square thing you save files on goes here has the cool popout button too)

hahha hilarity.its unfortunate you two have the same IP, or it would be less obvious.

unfortunatly. The power supply is barely adequate. As of now, i dont even think it will be able to load windows.

Use DOS.

I told you.

I told you.actually. It was just my IDE setup in the BIOS. My system kept restarting. And i tohught it was due to the power shortage, but it wasnt. Windows works fine.

You're going to buy two power supplies?

I'd throw out that PC2100 once you get newer RAM; you might want to look into two sticks of 512MB.

As for the 2.73GHz overclock, what's the voltage?

Did you run Prime95? I suggest running it for at least 24 hours.

Did you run Prime95? I suggest running it for at least 24 hours.I think its fine. I jacked it up to 2.9 just to see how high it would go. but the PC crashed, so i let it ease off at 2.7

What did you change the HTT multiplier to?

Run prime95 for 24 hours.
What did you change the HTT multiplier to?i kept it the same. Its at 11. it wont go any higher.

i kept it the same. Its at 11. it wont go any higher.
That's the CPU multiplier, I mean the HTT multiplier. (FSBx 1-5 = HTT BUS speed)

Going much higher than 1000MHz HTT BUS can cause instability.

hmm...just bacause i'm freaking rich and can afford mostly whatever i want and you cannot aford a new pair of 13 year old shoes doesn't mean you have to call me a liar just beacuse you wish you had a windows xp pro with wireless internet computer instead on a windows 95 with what was it again...the slowest kinda internet...o yeah dial-up

1) Sony does not offer the Go 7800GTX in any of their laptops.
2) Even if they did, my graphics subsystem would pretty much run laps around yours.
3) You didn't list a CPU
4) Only the military has laptop batteries that last that long, and I know for a fact Sony doesn't make them.
5) Windows XP Pro sucks; XP Pro x64 edition is much faster and better, and you can't use this thanks to your 32-bit Intel processor.
6) You're not at all tech savvy, because you'd know your "Computer" is not even remotely believable.
7) 600GB internal hard drives do not exist on desktops, let alone laptops.
8) Even Dells 2560x1600 monitor only costs around $2,000.

Even if you had Sony's fastest laptop available, my PC would run laps around it.

Wow...I'm totally jealous that you're richer and stupider than me and that you have a Windows XP pro that cost 700 dollars. Look just like you, I have a Windows XP that I got for a friend for me. However unlike you, I'm not even remotely close to being as retarded as you by buying over priced crap like a 700 dollar Windows XP OS. Just to tell you with the computer I have, though it's cheaper than your's it surely performs and also is worth much more than yours even though you supposedly spent 19k on a "VAIO" laptop. Which I have never ever seen a VAIO go for that much. Just drop the lie and tell us the truth, you own a piece of crap computer with dial-up and windows 95, after all you're the one who's mentioning this to us.
