ooo, price mine as well p4 1.6, but its overclocked to 1.9 (great for dumb ppl who dunno how to spot o/c cpu's ) 512MB PC-133 SDRAM 1X 40GB HDD ATA100 5400RPM 1X 10GB HDD ATA100 5400RPM 64MB gf2 mx400 ASUS P4S133-VM mobo Vibra128 & onboard SIS7012 (both work at once no probs) 17" IBM Monitor 1280x1024 32bit 60Hz Cor…
*offers his 16MB S3 savage4* just kidding. Geforce2 cards are now cheap as chips. You can pick up a 64MB MX400 gf2 (w/ TV out) for arounf $80-95 these days. So there is no excuse why u cant upgrade.
I have both WinXP and linux (Mandrake, though thinking of swapping over to slackware). And i can say to all Windows users that if the reason u havent tried linux is beacuse ur lazy to learn, dont be. These days linux (mainly Redhat and Mandrake) are as simple to use as windows. When i first installed Mandrake i thou…
Apart from overclocking it from 800 to 1050 and installing it into a poorly designed case with almost no airflow, i didnt do anything. 130Mhz FSB Celeron, oooo yea
Ok, its 3:30am friday morning, and ppl (besides me) are still reading the forums. And i know they havent just left their comp's running and logged on to GU because they were'nt logged on 15 mins ago. Not to mention the fact they ppl are still posting as well. I'll Sleep when i'm dead :)
I only wish that statement about p4's not needing a heatsink was true P4's come shipped with a heatsink/fan that looks like it belongs on an ahlton, and in my cpu's overclocked state it still hits around 55 degree's under full load Oh well, at least its still cooler than my old celeron. That thing used to hit over 75
I used to pull a fairly consistant 99-100fps (yes, it does read 100 in net_graph) on a generic gf2 MX400 with celeron 800, and to top it off, running under WinXP at 1152x864 The only time it would drop was when some1 used a smoke gren, dropped to about 40. And all the time using the detonator drivers Just make sure …
