I have:

1.4 GHZ
512DDR RAM

Its quite fast, well fast enough for what i do :D

Right now I have an Athlon 700MHz overclocked to 950, when I get paid the $700 I'm owed and pay off my speeding ticket, I'm getting an Athlon XP 1900 (1.6GHz), which I'll also overclock as high as possible.

I built mine about a year ago (so it's not so hot). However since I no longer game it serves me well.

AMD Thunderbird 1.2Ghz
896MB RAM (PC 133)
2 x Maxtor 80GB 5400RPM
64MB Geforce 3 Ti 200
12x10x24 CD RW

The only thing I regret now is the 5400RPM Drives and the PC 133 RAM.

But hey, it's paid for and gets the job done. :D

AMD TB 1.7ghz
1024mb ram
160gb hd
64mb geoforce 4 gfx card
32x12x48x cd-rw
cable connection to net

i dont use it all i dont play games etc but is that the point?

P4 1.7Ghz
1024mb ram

I'm purchasing next month a computer with:

512 sdram
athlon 18000 (something like that) processer at 1.7 ghz
60gb hd

thats all i can think of now

I've got a :

P4 1.8GHZ
256mb SDram
Geforce 2 Titanium

Just about to but 2x for our new offices:

2.0 GHz PIII

P4 1.3GHZ OC'ed to 1.5
384Megs of RD Ram
19.5 Gig Hard Drive

And some sound card that I hate cause it sucks.

Well, I don't have the fastest but I'm happy with it...

P4 1,7 GHz
512 MB sdram

512MB RAM
16x CD-R
15" (closer to 16) LCD screen


Cambridge Soundworks DesktopTheater 5.1 Surround Sound speakers :D

I certainly doubt mine is the fastest.

I use laptops exclusively for personal computers (servers excluded), my current one is a Toshiba.

Pentium III-M (mobile) 1.1ghz
256mb ram
20gb HDD
14.1" LCD screen
16MB graphics (reasonable for laptops)
Hooked into surround sound HiFi system for sound (fun when playing games.. you can hear people coming up behind you literally :D).

I've got about 6gb left on the laptop HDD. My home directory on the fileserver is about 8gb (I'll be putting another HDD in it soon, taking it to 4 HDDs).

Mine is just a simple workhorse.

1ghz thunderbird
1.0 gig of ram
1 x 80 gig western digital 7200 rpm
1 x 30 gig maxtor 7200 rpm
32 megs graphics
15 inch lcd display

I thought it was time to upgrade so I just put in an order for ***three*** of these:

AMD 1800+
40 gig maxtor 7200
64 megs graphics
512 DDR PC2100 Ram

I have about 80 gigs of porn free used storage space...

What you say? 80 gigs? How?...

Well... When I purchase an application, I usually copy the entire copy of the CD to my HD. Why?.... Faster install, easy to add or remove the extra components that come w/ it instead of hunting around for the CD itself.

Also, having the 2000 CD makes reinstalling components and peices alot easier.

Also 25 gigs of MP3's cuts into my 100gig total in a big way.

damn you all have such nice computers, i'm stuck with like a P3 600 mhz lol

p4 2ghz

and i have a 800mhz athlon

the 800mhz athlon will out do the p4 while doing a ton of internet explorer windows i need more ram in the p4 only 256 and 512 in the athlon but soon :)

AMD XP 2200+ stock heatsink/fan

you can overclock cd drives :confused:

oh you guys.............

-Brendan

Now either you are stating one of your webservers and not your personal machine OR you have waaaaaaay to much money to spend. :D

Brendan has waaay to much money to spend :) Is that the one with the multi LCD monitor setup that I saw in the Pix picture?

brendan show us this pic :)

Its actually faster than any of our servers currently ;) Its the one on the website of my dog pix. Theres a couple of us here who have the same setup. Fast computers make happy employees. http://pix.hrnoc.net

-Brendan

Celeron 333 128 MB ram 4GB HDD 2MB (I think) video

Thats my main computer, though I did have

p4 1.8 overclocked to 2.323GHZ
512Mb DDR Ram
32mb video
asus CDRW Flashed to 40x
60 GB HDD
shiny aluminum case with a window in it (i hate windows)
Lots of added Video and Music recording and editing hardware

But I sold it.

hehe, and it's only a chat/dvd box ;)

(oh, and seti of course)

Your computer is no where near the fastest with only 256 megs of ddr ram and only 10 and 13 gig ide drives. Look at Brendan's beast!


Dual 2.2ghz Xeons, 3 - 36gb 10k RPM SCSI's, 1gb RAM... fast

-Brendan

Whoops, missed that, mind u pound for pound, mine is the fastest...

the mobo for his box will have cost as much as my machine put together (minus the monitor of course)

How can yours with ide drives be faster then Brendan's scsi drives and four times as much ram? Not to mentions the dual server-class processors.

True, perhaps instead of quoting specs, we should quote something like a sisoft benchmark...

AMD Athlon XP 1800
Soyo Dragon Plus
1gb DDR Ram
Western Digitial 40gb hard drive (I need to get another one)
Leadtek Geforce 3 - Ti200 - 128mb
Creative Audigy Gamer
Lite-On 16x DVD Player
Yamaha 16x10x40 Writer
Antec 1040B Case

Built it myself a couple months ago (tax return check put into good use).

Having a DUAL processor machine is useless, unless your going to use its capabilities to the full....

If Avatar had 1gb ram, his machine would be a lot faster than Brendans machine.. when playing games... as games only use 1 processor (apart from some).....

Even I had the option for a Dual MP but whats the point, when your not going to use that kinda power to its fullest potential....

There are IDE hdds out there that are FASTER than SCSI, look at the ones I have for instance (8MB Cache) ... they are faster than most SCSI's in the market at the moment, and then having that config in RAID "0" (totaling 240GB) on seperate IDE channels give me double the speed and power, ripping any SCSI hdd off the market ;)

Just bragging ;)

Anyone want to post their PCMark2002 benchmarks?

I'll post when I get the stats.......

No, Brendens whould still whoop ass on account he has scsi hard drive and serv-class processors which have quite a bit more cache then the p4. Brenden's would still beat Avator's.

Second, the cache of the hard drive only makes it faster when doing largers file read and writes without stopping in beaten. Because scsi hard drives have alot faster seek time they are almost always faster except in that case.

Third, Most scsi drives have more then an 8meg cache. I have seen some with a 32 meg cache! :D

4th - SCSI drives are at 10k or 15k as opposed to 7.2k (RPM that is). Although the WD's with 8MB of cache are very fast for an IDE drive.

Fast drives = shorter seek times. :stickout

You guys need to get your specs right... i'll challenge any SCSI system up against the IDE drives I have, guranteed i'll woop its ass... Bring IT ON

Go check some hardware sites out.. see the results for ya self... :stickout

Here you go http://www6.tomshardware.com/storage/02q1/020305/index.html :stickout

I see. And seek time is 8.9 milseconds. Thats horribles compared to a 10k rpm 4.3 miliseconds if I am not mistaken.

But remember my setup its RAID "0" on seperate ide channels, which means double the cache and double the speed.... :stickout

If you are willing to spend big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on high end SCSI with 32MB cache for a computer used in the office/gaming that's insane....

Summary:
Thanks to a huge buffer memory (8 MB instead of the typical 2 MB), the WD1200JB performs similarly to high-performance SCSI drives, thereby leaving its rivals in the dust. Though the access time and the CPU utilization are still a ways away from SCSI levels, this drive offers superior performance and tremendous capacity at attractive prices.

Just wondering why Brendan is using a Server Class machine for home use? :confused:

I have Quad Zeons but I use them for what they are built to do.. run as servers.. :cool:

because i can? i dunno i like fast computers. don't really have a 'good' reason i guess.

Just out of curiosity, what do you use it for?
Gaming?
Office?

Cabal,

In conclusion brenden's computer is faster then anyone elses here.

End of disscussion. :angry:

Its sounds faster... I bet some p4 2.5ghz machine would out perform it.... even though its a dual

Am I upsetting you awwwww, what a shame :bawling:
