Didn't the Intel Pentium III Tualatin only go up to 1.13GHz? But it was botched or something.

There are two computers I tend to browse around gff with. One is the Pentium 4 3.0GHz using 2GB of DDR400 ram and a GeForce FX 5950 card (I use this the most for now.)
The other is a Athlon64 +3700 (socket 939) using 1GB of DDR400 ram and a Sapphire Radeon X800GT card. I really only use the latter for gaming but once I'm done there's a good chance I will scope out gff before shutting down.

I use one with AMD Athlon XP 3200+ with 512 DDR SDRAM, coupled with a GeForce 4 MX. I've been meaning to upgrade both the RAM as well as the video card once I have enough money set aside.

Well, I have noticed that performance takes a severe hit when I have the card take on the sole task of graphics acceleration. However, if I reduce that to the next highest level of acceleration, my computer jumps up in speed. This is not a problem when I have the GF4 card though. I can have full confidence in full graphics acceleration with that baby.
It is not instability though. I am obsessive about heat, and I make sure that sort of stuff is taken care of.

Yah how do you think I feel, I'm running that shit on 256 ram. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a51...atars/gonk.gif

How can 1GB not be enough RAM for Firefox?!? The most I have ever seen FF use on my computer was about 100 MB, and this was with insane browsing/cross-referencing/writing going on.
Do you have 60 or so processes running in the background or something? If so, then stop using Norton. :p

Well, on paper the 6600's GPU should have a higher core clock than the Geforce4 cards as well as more pipelines. If it's slowing down then there must be a problem of some kind; perhaps you could consult the Help Desk to resolve the issue, as a 6600 is a very nice midrange card.

The 6600 is a very capable card and should be able to play most modern games with some degree of decency. My old comp had one and I was able to run Age of Empires 3 with almost all the details turned way up :|

I've already consulted help desk about this with two different topics.
It always ended up with people basically saying "Huh, that is weird. Go buy yourself a 6800GT" (that last sentence almost always Arainach)

P4 3.0 Ghz Prescott
2GB DDR400
ATI X800XT - 256MB

Pretty much a gaming rig, but truly it is a multimedia center for me. Have it hooked up in the main room of my house to a 32" LCD. I don't have much problem doing anything (except running Oblivion :) ). So yeah.

Seems the majority are using P4's or 64-bit AMD. I would do X2 but I only have a Socket 754 board. =/

ASUS K8V-X VIA K8T
AMD Sempron 64 3000+ @240/9
BFG GeForce 6800GT OC
(3x512) Corsair PC3200
SB Audigy

Pretty much a gaming rig too. Next thing I'll upgrade is the board to a 939

Should upgrade to a 2-stick dual-channel ram setup too. More stable and lots faster than odd-numbered setups. Just a suggestion :D

Well aware, just too broke right now.

The one I use most is my Mac.

PowerPC G4 867MHz, 1.5 gig memory, 3Mbps DSL over a 10/100 LAN. Gig-e network adapter on the Mac, looking to upgrade whole network to Gig-e.

My 2.6 ghz desktop is down, so I'm using a Pentium M ULV 1 Ghz notebook w/ 512 RAM and crappy integrated graphics. But it emulates any PS1 game I've tried so far, so I'm happy.

How would "stock" video and sound cards have anything to do with a X2 processor? I've used the 3800+ and 4400+ X2 and both were as nice as they sounded. :)

If anyone lays out the money for a good video card then the CPU is the most important counter part. A 2.5ghz cpu will defiantly limit a high end video card. (Keep in mind CPUs don't really go by that rating system anymore since a AMD 3800+ is only clocked at like 2Ghz, but hopefully you get where I'm coming from when I say a 2.5ghz cpu will limit the video card.)

As for my own PC I still have my good ol' Athlon XP 2600 with a GeForce 4 Ti4200. Certainly not the fastest thing around anymore but aside from games it still gets the job done just fine.

I'm running a total fossil. Pentium III 733 mHz. I REALLY want to get my school laptop early.

Well, until I pick up my Athlon XP laptop in a week (currently being fixed because of scorch damage to the mobo - don't ask), I'm having to use the shitty campus computers (Pentium 4 with 256 mb of ram, but the amount of background processes running cripples it.)

There's two main machines I browse GFF with, a Windows desktop and my laptop (also Windows). My desktop is 4 years old, a P4 Northwood @ 2.26 GHz with a GB of RAM. I'm due for a new desktop this year. My laptop is just a few months old, a Pentium M @ 1.73 GHz with 1.25 GB of RAM. It's so much faster, I love it.

P4 3.0Ghz here, with 512Mb Ram. It does the job, although Firefox can be a pain sometimes.

I have a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ when I usually surf GFF.

I've got a G4 1.42Ghz and an X2 3800+ which I use for GFF. Since I guess 3/4 of the time I'm on the G4, that's the one I picked on the poll.

I'm amused at all the people listing their video though. I mean, it sure makes a difference when browsing the forums eh? ;)

We're not just comparing a man's length here, but also the girth.
:doggy:

Pentium 3.2 GHz, 2 Gigs RAM

At work its a PIII 800MHz with 256 RAM

Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz
896MB PC3200 RAM
Leadtek Winfast A6600GT Video Card
Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit

Not bad, but its either this or my AMD Turion-64 ML-40 (2.2GHz) Notebook sporting 1GB of RAM and a Radeon Xpress 200M....
