Oooooooh. Aaaaaaah. Nice.
Got pictures? Oh, and Dell sucks. Nice system specs, but Dell Customer Service sucks. They're based in India. You cannot understand 70% of the people they employ, even with their 'intensive' training in learning Americanized English. |

Isn't it sweet. I got my new one about a month ago from [url]www.ibuypower.com[/url]. They have great prices and good equipment but their service is not the best. Been pleased as punch though. A P4 2.53 with 1 gig of DDR400 and a Raedon 9500 Pro. It is silver with two extra fans that really move air. So sweet to be able to play games again.
Already finished Medal of Honor and the expansion pack and am to the "Irene" section of Black Hawk Down, as well as some online play. Probably get my Ghost Recon back from my brother to go through that soon. Moved the old computer to the wife's "office" and got a wireless router to send the internet there, so I don't have her bugging me for computer time. [:D] Man, it is so sweet I think I just crapped my pants. Congrats on the new computer. Love mine, though it ate up the new gun budget for the year. |

Quoted: Got pictures? Oh, and Dell sucks. Nice system specs, but Dell Customer Service sucks. They're based in India.

Well, when it's all set up I'll post one if you really want to see it. I doubt I'll ever need Dell Customer Service for anything. I probably know more than they do. Quoted: What games are you planing on playing? I plan on installing America's Army, Battlefield 1942 and any other good first person game I can get my hands on. Mostly games I can play online. I wont be installing Return to Wolfenstein or the Medal of Honor series since I've already beat them on my father's computer. |

Only 100GB Hard Drive?
Two computers - 282GB spread between them. Wired the house with a good stable wired network, fast and does the job. only 512MB of ram in the 1.33GHz athalon here, and 256MB in the 1.3GHz Duron. looks good, but you will need at least one more Hard Drive.. Last one to a Terabyte of storage loses(home computers only..mainframe/server people need not apply) Seriously, great machine, you'll love it. should service you well for years. |

Quoted: I take it it's time to upgrade my Pentium 90? Get the Intel upgrade goes something like P90 to 150mhz. Remember those? Intel PODPMT66X200 MMX Overdrive. If you have a Pentium 75, it will raise your speed to 150. Pentium 90, 120 and 150 will go up to 180MHz. Pentium 100, 133 and 166 will go up to 200Mhz MMX. 20 day warranty. Before ordering, you might want to check with your computer manufacturer if this overdrive cpu is compatible with your system. Only $165! Want the link???? |

Lamer! [;)]
3.0 Ghz 800 Mhz front side bus 1.5 Mb Dual Channel DDR SDRAM (2) 120 Gb hard drives (one external firewire) 128 Mb 8x AGP nVidia video card Video cards now come with over four times as much memory as my first computer had hard drive space. RAM will be there soon. This machine is fast enough to render MPEG movies from DV faster than real time. I haven't put a good challenging game onto the system yet. Gotta get the dual monitor thing working too, I've got a couple 19" glass monitors to try out. |
