C'mon people, how does it look?

Well, I'd like to know how much you paid for it. It seems acceptable from what I can tell. Mine is better, though. /gloat






I'm sorry, I just like to think I'm finally superior at something.
Title: It's sure as hell better than mine.

From what gamerman, Linkizcool, and DB told me, it looks okay. I don't know much though. Where are they?

Only 80 GB? Oh well, I guess you can live. Personally I've used up 136GB and I don't think I can really lower that number :p

I've used up 2GB.

What are you downloading boy?

(By the way, my hardrive is 33GB, so that explains why I uninstall everything.)

Well, your RAM is sufficient. Personally, I'd rather have 1.5 gigs, but 1 gig is still plenty to run today's games. And I have an 80 gig HD and I still have about 10 gigs left, so unless you are gonna be downloading lotsa stuff, 80 should be fine. What is your processor and have you salvaged anything from your old computer?

Its not bad. A gig of ram is good enough for pretty much anything, you won't need more than 80 gbs unless you plan to download a bunch of movies or large games or stuff. processor... New computers usually have a 3500 or a 3800 processor, 3000s are kind of out dated. Right now, I'm using an Athlon 64 3000+, and it works just fine. A sempron isn't quite as good, but its not bad. Your graphics card should be good enough to play most games without a problem. It might have a bit of trouble with new games (oblivion recommends a Gforce 3800).

So yeah, your computer doesn't suck, but its nothing special, pretty much an average computer I'd say.

Be sure to get a good monitor.

Your videocard pwns mine, for now. I'ma gonna upgrade my computer once I hit 500 bucks on my bank account. Otherwise, yeah, 80gb is low. I've got 200 and 60 and the 60 one has 30gb left (I use it for installs and the likes) and the 200 one has 56gb left.

yeeeah I'm sure this has been said but I'm too lazy to read.
That number 3000 is a tad low... other than that you're good.
If you're a mad bootlegger like me you'll prolly want more than 80 gbs but your comp is good.. I'll give you 140 bucks and a copy of Pokemon Fire Red for it. (May be a rom) =D
Also.. how much did you pay for it?
Title:
Post by: Almeidaboo on September 26, 2006, 03:09:58 PM
Well, good to know itīll work fine. I tested it today and I was amazed that I couldnīt see anything before windows loaded.

Since I jumped from a Duron 950 with 256 RAM and a GeForce2 16mb this computer feel like a spaceship.

Well, this thing came out almost free. Having in mind that in Brazil we have no computer "factories" (right term?) and that computers here are super expensive...I payed R$ 1,320.00, which is around
US$ 628.57. As I said, this' what I could buy, not what I wanted to :D

Iīm pretty damn happy. As soon as I can pay for cable internet again Iīm gonna have Drace and other people show me guitar tips XD

Oh yes, Iīm gonna retreive my 20gb (thatīs right) HD from the old computer and my LG CD recorder, just for the sake of it.

Thanks y'all for replying! If it sounds good, give recommendations and discuss about computers in general, it may be good for people with doubts about the subject!

Mega hertz? I know Giga Hertz. Is it the edible form of that?

Imagine a computer made entirely from marble. Those had "mega hertz" (which is really a measure unit to stabilish snail race records...).

ahh ok so your price is nice.

If that was a dell you would've forked over 1400*30589+1....
 
I hate you Dell...

First comp I ever made and now i hate Dell for ripping me off..


PS: I LOVE YOU NEW EGG!!!

Post by: Linkizcool on September 28, 2006, 03:30:19 AM
680 bucks for that might be a tad high. It looks good, good enough for a few games and Internet stuff.

As for guitar tips, I'm available.
