Oooh~ New PC

[Markus. D]

It's great n_____________n~

22 inch LCD widescreen~

I was wondering what resolution would suit it the best?

annnnnnnd, if there is any way to turn Windows Vista into Windows XP >_>;






:3 Topic~ What are yee Computer Specs?

[Ash Ketchum]

My computer is really just a piece of paper.

I have no idea how I connect to the internet with it but I somehow manage.

[Rostum]

What are your specs? Only mentioned a cheap monitor. :p Native resolution is either 1600x1050 or 1900x1600, I can't remember.

21" widescreen true 8-bit colour 1000:1 contrast
nVidia7800GS
Corsair 2GB DDR RAM
Core 2 Duo 2.13GHZ 4mb cache
300GB Seagate HDD

[Mirage]

You should probably set your LCDs resolution to its native resolution.

If you want XP, you need to either buy or pirate it, and put it on a CD. Then boot the machine from the CD and install XP. Why would you want to anyway?

My computers are currently in a state of flux (meaning I'm building new computer(s) soon, and getting rid of my current desktop).

But I've currently got:

Desktop - Drakken

Pentium D830
1 GB DDR2 667MHz
2 x 250GB Maxtor SATA HDD (software RAID 1)
80GB Maxtor SATA HDD
eVGA Geforce 6800GT (256MB)
Soundblaster Audigy 2

160GB HDD
Geforce 8600GT (512MB)
8x DVD±RW
Integrated everything else
XP Home / CentOS 5 soon to come
15.4" LCD

That's about it for now. I still need to build an audio computer this month, and a new gaming machine as soon as the Penryn and Phenom come out.

[Darkja]

Common BoB, with specs like that you should have at least a 24" with better contrast ratio! Oh well, your computer is awesome, give it to me, ok?

Actually I'd rather a workstation gpu, but oh well.

If they weren't so expensive, then maybe... but when you're used to a 17", 20" is a fine upgrade from what I'm used to. :) Only cost me around £120 from bluebat. :D

[Araciel]

ATI radeon 1650 pro 512 mb video card (AGP boooo)

I've always wondered what the hell is up with your hard drive...

Is this thread about cpu specs?

Anyway, for a 22" wide screen try 1440x900

edit: oh yeah my specs:

Pentium 4 3.8 Ghz (finally got it. I went from 2.2 - 2.8 - 3.4)
2.5 Ghz of ram (don't ask....I keep buying new ram. The last 1 gig boost was caused by buying the wrong ram, and I was too lazy to return it)
Radeon (lawl) 9800 video card, I think. Whatever their 512 MB AGP model is. I am considering upgrading to PCI-E, but I can't afford it right now. Plus there's no point.
Hard drives? Oh man I have a lot. Over a terabyte in total. Over two computers.

[Levian]

My laptop is silver coloured and it can fit lots of music and games on it. :spin:

[starseeker]

My main comp has:

2.97 GHz processor
1.5 GB RAM
an ATI Radeon X300 (128 mb)
160GB HDD + 500GB external

I dunno how big the monitor is. The screen's currently set to 1280x1080 but I can increase it.

[Samuraid]

2.5 Ghz of ram
Gigahertz huh? :p

[Shoeberto]

I scoff at people complaining that their computers are out of date!

[edczxcvbnm]

3.0 GHz Pentium 4
1 GB of RAM
80GB HDD
Geforce 6600GT

My computer is over 3 years old now and it still rapes the world.

[Yamaneko]

nVidia GeForce 8600M GT 512MB (DDR2 :( )
Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4 GHz 4MB 800 FSB

And when it's released for T-Mobile:

RIM Blackberry Pearl 2 (8120). I would consider getting a regular Pearl now, but the built-in Wifi on the Pearl 2 is too enticing.

[Nominus Experse]

The only thing worth noting about my computer is that it has 600 gigs of storage, a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series sound card coupled with a Logitech Z-5500 speaker system.

I use my computer mostly for music.

[Peegee]

2.5 Ghz of ram

I overclock, what can I say :p

Wise move, you won't regret waiting for built-in wifi on your handheld. :p

[Iceglow]

My Toshiba laptop is a Equium (A100-027) model (not that I know exactly how good those are but it cost just under £500 so it's not fantastic) I need a bigger HDD so I'm looking to buy an external usb drive probably a seagate hdd if they're any good. They certainly look stylish. Runs Vista not too bad I don't mind it to be honest I'm always picking up something that I think "ooh so thats where this is on vista" however.

Oh and Vista has GREAT compatability for games especially old ones far superior to my old XP laptop I literally just tell it what windows it was developed for and it works this includes my old Fallout/Warhammer games.

My advice Tsukasa is stick with Vista it takes getting used to but it's not bad I've yet to encounter these "gaping holes in security and function" people whine about, sure it took a while at first for people to release software updates compatable with vista but that was way back in jan when vista was new and I was one of the first on it most software these days runs straight off. Just limit your temp internet files more (default in ie7 = 50 meg) and watch the recycling bin for size I just emptied mine and it held over 5 gig of crap I'd deleted.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

My current rig, SHODAN:

Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
AMD 64 X2 3800+ 2GHz
Kingston ValueRAM DDR400 2GB (2 x 1GB sticks)
nVidia GeForce 7900GT 256MB PCI-E

Give me another year or so, and I'll upgrade the processor to (hopefully) an Athlon FX-55, upgrade the graphics card, and maybe install Windows Vista.
