Let's discuss the conditions of our computers!
« on: April 14, 2007, 03:38:06 AM »
363 days ago something happened to my computer what has effected it badlike ever since, and right this moment I am in the middle of formatting it.

So, how's your computer going?
Flies like a dream?
Lags like a bitch?
Won't turn on?
Somewhere in between?

My computer's made out of awesome sauce and bicycle parts, how well do you think it fuckin' works?!!







Extremely well, actually. Except when I have company, then it runs like **** in an attempt to embarrass the hell out of me. I want another gig of bicycle RAM, though.

My computer is functioning within acceptible standards. However, Despite taking perfect care of it, the speaker system is shot. I have to wiggle the cords for about 5 minutes just for both to work. I can't use headphones either because I've burned through two sets in about 6 months.

Also, I'd like it if someone could recommend a good brand for a headset that isn't Logitech.

However, for graduation, I'm getting a laptop that'll outright pwn everyone's computers here.

2 Gigs of Ram, 2.04 GHz AMD Athlon 64 (Only running 32 bit, though), and Vista.

Internet was wonky for a little bit a few weeks ago due to outdated firmware, but other than that my computer has been in tip top shape for almost a year. Firefox and Norton are responsible, I believe.

Its running well for it's almost full hard drive. No lag ever. Except when I have an MMO up and/or too many chat windows, while having Mozilla and WMP up.

Its a laptop though, I don't think I'll go back to desktops as my primary use.

Indeed. I laugh at my brother's overheatingness, though he invented a way to prevent it. And mine did cost me above 1k USD

LIES! THEY'RE ALL LIES!!! All I need is a new video card (or mebe not, mine's fine-tastic), that extra RAM I've been thinking about for ages, and a processor that's like what you're planning, and I'll be equal to or greater than you. Again. And since it'll be a laptop, I won't even NEED to get all that. But I will anyways.

And Osmose, except for the RAM, I'm shocked that yours isn't better than you say...

I mean, mine's better than that...

Except for the RAM...
...


I feel really awkward right about now. :|

My laptops screen is busted. Its now a PC. My other PC is a piece of Crap, but I hard wired it to my stereo, and its a wicked jukebox now...And a backup for my shat.

Im buying a new laptop this summer, becasue they are actually pretty well priced, despite the naysayers.

Seriously, Even the cheap ones have warranties. And for an extra fifty-100 bones, its an extended warranty.

Dual Core...Im in UR base

My computer works great, my dial up though is another story.

amd duel core, 620 GB disk space, radeon x1600 pro, a mouse that works like a wimote, shutter glasses that make all my games and dvds pop out of the screen, high definition tv tuner, two dvd burning drives, only a gig of ram :( windows vista home premuim, windows vista ultimate, AND windows xp home. Then theres my damn internet.

Hell Yeah! Just recovered all my old rm2k/3 games from my 10 year old, broken laptop hard drive that had been formatted and had a new OS installed on it. Oh, and I did all of this from my phone. WIN

What are you watching?

Gir: Scary Monkey Show.

That... monkey... urgh.

Gir: Uh-huh.

Edit: Sorry, couldn't resist an Invader Zim reference with the monkey thing. XD

Anyways my computer is satisfactory, but I plan to buy a much newer PC for new games and software.
