Its just me and my current computer...



I have been and will continue to lurk around, learning as much as I can and tossing a cent or two when I am able.

I learn fast... and am here on the cutting edge of computing to learn what hardware is going to fit my needs.

(Yes.. I plan on building a beast... yet nothing out is really flipping my lid atm)


I hope my questions are worthy of your answers.


See ya around.

I had a system pretty similar to yours in 2001-2003 so its not that old and we do have much older systems on here hehe.

Anyway welcome to OCN feel free to post any kind of questions

Rduke

Thanks bud..

You will know if I did and failed if you never see me post again.

Welcome!! Don't worry about your comp. I used to run a 866mhz PIII, 512mb of PC333 ram, and 16mb AGP 2x graphics card from 1998 - 2005. Was pretty fast too.

Hi

I've got a 10 year old Packard Bell still alive and kicking in my spare bedroom, so don't feel bad about your P4. This thing has a 200Mhz Cyrix CPU, the mobo can't detect anything larger than 64 meg RAM sticks (max 128 megs total), an 8 gig Fujitsu HDD (doesn't recognize anything larger), and it has an ATI Rage PCI graphics card (no AGP slot).

Hey guys thanks for the welcome..

I guess I wont be alone in the antique computer parade .

Speaking of raw power.




I must say.. one of my favorite things about computers is how the performance and price changes over time...

It is scary..

lol

Imagine what $8,000 would get you today... and it would not even be a 1,000th of what $800 will get you tommorow..

Rduke

Yeah .. Although I am not at all happy with the card..


I would like to shoot it with many bullets... In fact.. It is the only piece of gear on my PC that I feel any hatred for..

All my friends have had the same problems with them.. some of them have had far worse issues then me.. I read about others having the same problems..

And I think it all boils down to arrogance and monopoly... and in the computer fields I think it is most obvious..more so then with any other market segment as pc products come out so fast...

And they all slip eventually..

So yeah to end the rant... I could re-use my xfi card in my new build..

But I probably wont.

Its a pos..

Run N. Gun

Welcome to OCN. Glad to have you here.
