i must admit that you are the first girl I met that has so much interest in PC. I would bet that you spend even more time on PCs in generally than I do. :eek: :shaking: :nervous:

Good for you!

Power to the AMD 1.3! Well 3ghz would be nice, but i like my system as it is - it all runs nice and smoothly.
Plus i'd have to get rid of my case mods...
that reminds me.
I'll make a new thread.

By the way speaking of graphic cards, it seems that my mom needs for her presentation a video card with a TV in and I suggested a Radeon 9500 with 128MB. ;7
That card has a TV in right? By the way, anyone remembers a price on it?

Pfff. I could upgrade my ****ty-ass, 5 year old rig to better than that for like $700. Of course, I'm poor, so........


The major costs come in when you need a new monitor, but fortunately, I've got a 19"....or is it 20", I forget.


Anyway, how'd you manage a double T3? Those things are waaay expensive unless you live like right next-door to yer local backbone station.

Don't Pentium have a 4.7 almost ready?

And, through the miracle of multi-processor set-ups, you can have MUCH greater hertzage.

If you are a PC upgrade freak then it is a piece of junk 6 months later. I used my 450MHz 128MB ram Geforce256 32MB for 2,5 years and even played JK2 on it both in SP and MP. Of course there were slow downs but I could play of course. i have a new PC now but I think I should add more RAM to it.

I don't know of a R9500 with TV in.

Cards with TV in and TV out are often called ViVos. Look for cards with this in the name. ;)
R9700 All-In-Wonder, for instance.

As for Tiara's new system: Very Nice! :yes: :)

The videocard's the bottleneck. That's the one component I would have changed.

I looked on the box and it does have TV-in/out.

And Razor, I'm planning to use this comp for at least a few years.

ah, screw it.

as for Razor, I must agree. Tiara must be the only girl who doesn't think that a Geforce is a shaving tool.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

VRAM is video random access memory, and you can't upgrade that. :p You must upgrade the video card if you want more VRAM.

Pwned :thepimp:

 
Nope. It's model 3000+ (Barton), which actually runs at 2166MHz. Model 2600+ (Thoroughbred "B") runs at 2133MHz, and 2400+ (TBred "B") 2000MHz. The reason why it isn't like 2300MHz is that it has newer architecture, and is faster even with slower clockspeed than older processor. The 3000+ means that it is about as fast as 3GHz Pentium 4, though those model numbers aren't perfectly accurate, they're still pretty good, even if they make many people think that it's the MHz number (well, that's the point in the model numbers :p).
