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.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
It is not instability though. I am obsessive about heat, and I make sure that sort of stuff is taken care of. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I was speaking idiomatically.

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. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
FELIPE NO |
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 :|
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
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) Jam it back in, in the dark. |
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. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
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 This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. [ SCHWARZE-5 - Helger Collins ]

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. How ya doing, buddy? |
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.

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. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
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 nowhere I can't reach. |
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 was speaking idiomatically. |
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? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Pentium 3.2 GHz, 2 Gigs RAM
At work its a PIII 800MHz with 256 RAM What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
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.... Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Pentium 3.1 GHz, 512 RAM
I don't have any problems with speed on this computer for the most part. I browsed the forums with a Pentium III 800MHz, 128 RAM computer for a few years, so this one is certainly better. How ya doing, buddy? |
I have 2 and a half computers...
My main computer is a PIV 2.8Ghz, 800Mhz FSB, 1MB cache CPU with 512MB for DDR3200 RAM, with 2 120GB hard drives and an ATI 9700 Pro video card. My secondary system is my former main system, a PIII 933MHz, 133MHz FSB CPU, 512MB of SD133 RAM, 2 60GB hard drives, and an SiS Xabre video card. Both of the above are running Windows 2000 SP4. Honestly, I don't notice much of a preformance differeance between the two computers when preforming most tasks. Actually, somtimes the PIII seems faster, however it takes forever to boot up... My "half" of a computer is soon to be a whole computer. It's acutally left over parts from my really old system. It's a PII 400MHz, 100MHz FSB, 512k Cache CPU, 512MB of SD100 RAM, and a 3DFX Voodoo 5 video card. I need to find a hard drive and a few other things, and I'll have another complete system. I'll probably install Ubuntu Linux on the thing. I've been meaning to try Linux, and this might be just the system for it. I'll probably use it for browsing this site (as well as others) fairly often once it get it going, I want to see if I like Linux, and if I do, I might install it on all my computers. This poll makes me feel old though. I've been using computers since the beginning. My first system was a 286, I think it was 12MHz with the "trubo" switch on (am I the only one who remembers those?), and it had 640K of RAM and a 10MB (not GB) hard disk. My OS was DOS 5.0... Oh, I almost forgot, it had a CGA montior (thats 4 color graphics for you youngins')... How ya doing, buddy?
