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. 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

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
(Named roughly after the constellation Draco mixed with Dragon, not after a cartoon character)
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
XP Pro / FC4 x64
Sony 8x DVD±RW
17" Samsung LCD

Laptop - Finwe (new, as of today)

Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz
1GB DDR2 667MHz
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.

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.

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.

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