toshiba satellite pro & macbook pro 17"

i'll never get anything else again than a laptop

Everyone seems to have these Geforce 8800+'s

What am i missing by having a 8600?

wow, you guys are geeky.

I switch between a 1.6ghz dual sony laptop w/2G ram and a p4 1.3 ghz desktop :Oh crap pretty sad...

ghetto!!!!

yup. i need to get another desktop soon. I had a decent HP but the motherboard died so now this is all I have. the p4 is really old and running an old OS from 2002 or so. :1orglaugh

my 8600 does nothing but fuck up my system.
every other time i power down i have to reinstall the damn drivers.
and the newer the drivers the worse it is...
they wont even stay installed through the required reboot.

so i'm back to old drivers.. and got a BSOD for the first time in years caused by an nvidia dll... weird... it's coming out soon.

Atari ST 1040

50 rocking computers

I just set up 4 x 8 core 3.2gig Mac Pros. I love speeeeeeeeeeeed :thumbsup:thumbsup

I don't believe you....take a photo, or we're all calling bullshit :2 cents:

Mac pros are easy and can be just as cheap as a "pc" to upgrade... It's not impressive anymore... If he's doing any type of rendering I believe it np..

Will be upgrading cerating stuff as soon as the house sale is done.

wow Yngwie you got a lot of upgrading to do :)

yep and that's what I will be doing very soon. Computer runs fast enough, but a whole lots faster wouldn't hurt that's for sure. :)

mainly the ram and adding 2 hard drives.. I might upgrade the cpu, but not sure. It all depends on the $ I have from the house sale. I have to pay off the mortgage, lawyers and other debts first than pay 1st and last, movers etc.. After that I will see what I have left and I will decide what I need the most.

the video card I'm fine with since I don't use my pc to play games so having a high end video card would be a waste of $. My motherboard supports up to 8gb of ram so I may try that and install a 64-bit OS on one of the new hard drive to see how that performs.

My main work station is an old (in computer years) Dell Precision 670 with dual Xeon T processors at 3.6 ghz with 3 gigs of ram and dual hard drives.
My work laptop is also Dell. A Precision 6300 with dual core intel x7900 at 2.8 ghz with 2 gigs of ram and an encrptyed 120 gig hard drive.
My work computer in my bedroom is an Alien Ware MJ-12 7550a with Dual AMD Opteron at 2.6 ghz with 2 gigs of ram
Then I have an accounting computer, a linux box that runs scripts for my tgps, and a spare laptop as well.

a fast one

please....do tell :pimp
