Custom Built Baby! Originally an eMachines, the only eMachines part left in it is the floppy drive. Asus A7N266-VM Motherboard nForce, 768MB RAM, Asus ATi Radeon 9600 XT 128MB, 120GB Seagate 7200 HD, 40GB Maxtor, and uh...the other parts don't really matter I guess. I must say, the Seagate is a very nice drive. Very quiet and I've heard nothing but good about it from everyone else. This machine is currently running Windows and Linux, dual-boot, but I mainly just use Linux now...haven't booted into Windows in days now.

My mom has the re-built emachines, gave it to her on her birthday awhile ago. Nasty machine, Celeron for the processor, 20GB HD, and nasty MoBo, plus it gets really hot. It works though, and does it's job. I also got a really old laptop with Linux on it.

Oh, and I have a 486, 133MHz(maybe 233) computer. It was a good computer. I once tried to use it as a printer server! Would worked if I could fit a proper linux distro on the small harddrive.

I must say, I am well blessed by God with my computers. I've never had hardware troubles from the parts I've ordered. I've also never lost my data/programming projects...well I almost recently lost it, but I found a way to get it back All thanks to God's wonderous grace and protection.

Very simple stuff in our house. The main PC's only an Athlon 1600, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB hard drive, CD burner, way behind the times now, but I'm not a gaming fan and Mum wouldn't let me take the cover off the tower. I've also got a Dell laptop that has all my uni stuff on it.

 

[Word of Peace]

I have an Athlon 2000+, 512 MB of RAM, 60 GB HD, a 64MB graphics card, and a 12x CDRW, and Windows XP Pro. Not all that impressive, but it does pretty well.

Happy to say I'm now running a P4 3.0Ghz Processor on Win2kPro with 1GB of Ram, 100 GB of HD, and a Radeon 9000 going strong.

It makes me happy.

My brother and I spent 400 on our graphics card alone (nVidia Quadro) since it is the only thing that Alias Maya fully supports.. sucks huh?

Cache on your video card, proc, OS? Which cache?

on xp your page file is found here - right click my computer > properties >advanced >performance settings > advanced > virtual memory . Make the size your ram +100. ie min:612 max:612

I tell ya - although i now have the very latest from AMD and XP and all that, i once used to have pentium 200mhx computer with just 32mb of RAM. It worked beautifully until of course the mouse port decided to give up on life altogether.

 

[trunks2k]

Currently I have a AMD 2400+XP, 256 MB DDR RAM, a DVD drive, a CD R/W (forgot the read/write speads), and a 64MB Geforce2.

I'd really like to do some upgrades, mainly get some RAM, a new video card, a DVD-R, and a better CPU fan.
