"TheKua", all you really need is a new processor, mobo, and RAM. I got my Athlon XP 2000+ and my Asus A7N8X for $270 at a local computer store, you migt be able to get it cheaper online, and DDR ROM is pretty cheap, you can probably find a 256Meg stick for $60 somewhere. You video card completly ownz mine, so does your monitor.

[TheKua]

How much would a P4 2.2 Ghz cost now?

[TheKua]

and i got an old shitty 18ghz Hard drive

[JerraMaya]

Kua buy 2.4ghz processor coz its 533mhz in speed and 2.2ghz is 400mhz in speed so spend few more bucks and buy the 2.4 ok , here 2.4ghz costs 170 dollars US ok

[TheKua]

"Jerramaya" Thanx...wait i thought it would cost around US 200$ or 250$

[JerraMaya]

MY PC pic

[TheKua]

[TheKua]

ok im going to upgrade to 512ddr ram in a few days from now...how much performance am i going to get(namely C&C :Generals).
i had 256MB sdram by the way

[JerraMaya]

C&C generals requires are good graphics card than ram many game just require that :D Kua but with sdram u have to upgrade till 512 atleast ok
if u have C&C running slow in its option uncheck the 3d Now option and run it with medium texture it will run fine ok with 256mb ram

[F4LLeN]

nice rig, want mine watercooled :>

[IkYiolul]

yeah about the only thing left for my system is watercooling...
I also posted a "post your rig thread" no one went for that why?

Athlon Xp 1600+ 1.44ghz

Built to likes Home Theater (opticaly connected)
OS is Windows XP Professional

[aphremen]

Cool system overall. You'll certainly want to watercool it, and unlock the chip, that'll let you have a sweet oc! And you'll really like the way the water tubes pick up the light from the cold cathodes. :) It's purdy.

[IkYiolul]

oh i've heard...just need the money for it now.
what watercooler you got in your system? what would u recommend is the best and all..

[aphremen]

I would suggest Becooling.com (http://www.aquastealth.com) they have great prices and when it comes to watercooling, there are better kits but they cost much more (and without much difference in cooling either). I have the aquastealth 2 and it's great. It's a bitch to fill the system but I have my own method for it, dunk the whole system underwater and let it run until there's no air. :) just make sure never put your hands in the water you are filling the system with, since that adds salt.

[IkYiolul]

wow..never thought about that. good pointer.
what exactly would that do though?

[Yian]

I think everyone knew that my old PC is fucked so I got a new one.:

mobo: VIA P4B4 (the most debated mobo, I think... it has four USB, two Firewire, an onboard network card, and onboard sound)

CPU: P4 2.6 Ghz.

Sound: My onboard sound is better than my sound card now, so I unplugged my soundcard.

Video: The same old 3D Prohpet 9700 Pro 128MB. (Yeah Matt I'm using a Radeon too...)

Case: a new tower!

Power Supply: Some nice shit with 99% output factor continuously at 400w. Mad quiet too! (My computer's noise has been reduced by about 80% since I got the new CPU fan and the new PSU...)

[portzebie]

mine just plain sucks!

[IkYiolul]

LOOKOUT YIAN...ATI's DRIVERS ARE WACK!!!!

[Downfall]

i asked on another thread but no one answered me...where do i go to find my computer specs?

[aphremen]

Get a proggie like motherboard monitor or something...at any rate do you mean to say you BOUGHT you computer already built?! You didn't build it with your own two hands? Majorgeeks (http://www.majorgeeks.com) should have some usefull programs to help you find out your specs...but for specific stuff like how fast your HD spins, you should remember that from when you install it. Take notes. :)

PCMark will tell you your system info and brand, or you can check some by going to control panel->system->performance tab. Finally, to see the brand you can go to the Device Manager tab and look at each individually.

[F4LLeN]

dude, my case is so shit, im gonna mod it, get a fat logo cut out on the side and fill it with perspex and then do a sweet colour on it :>

i read somewhere that half life 2 was gonna be able to run on a TNT2 and 100mhz. i'll see if i can find the source. ;)

Hehe. I don't think that source is reliable. They are probably insane! :) I can't imagine where you'd read that! :)

I'm sure I missed something important.. oh I've got a total of like 10 fans and a nice floppy drive ..

[aphremen]

If you have 5 or more fans, it's time to go to watercooling. You probably are past the point of diminishing returns with those fans.

[Hobbes874]

I'm upgrading my speakers to Harmon Kardon HK-395 speakers soon :D i need a Subwoofer!

[Colorblind]

Since I don't overclock, the fans are just fine. Since they came with the case, I don't really care about installing them all. They are quiet, and they keep the case at low temps. On top of that, I don't use the heater in my room anymore because the fans push SO much warm air..

[aphremen]

Ah, well, if they are quite and came with the case. If you are happy with it, that's what's important, right? Whenever someone says "I have 200,000 fans" I imagine some guy with a bunch of Screamin' Deltas and his case sounds like a jet engine.

[Colorblind]

After reading my post, I'm not sure I made any sense. Haha oh well.

I know what you mean, my old computer had 1/2 the fans but was far, far louder. All my fans are the ball-bearing type (except the stinkin CPU fan which is the only fan that makes my system loud). I had loud computers since I listen to MP3's off of mine at night. I know I don't need all the fans but like I said they came with the case I bought so what the heck I spent a whoppin 180 bucks for it (Thermaltake Xaser - not including power supply)

What u mean they dont work have u disabled ur onboard sound card in the BIOS and uninstalled its driver ? thats strange others dont run on ur board

[Colorblind]

Well, the two other sound card's I've tried are buggy as hell, and yes, I disabled the onboard sound in the bios - in fact, I did that before I installed windows. The audigy was fine for gaming, but horrible for MP3's, and the phillips I tried was the other way around. The onboard sound doesn't have all the good features but at least it works..

[Freakonaleash89]

The thing about Half-Life 2 was from PC Gamer I think they did mention something about a TNT2.

Here are my specs I built it myself:

AMD Athlon 1.2ghz
Abit KT7A Mobo

SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 X-Gamer

I think thats everything...

[aphremen]

They said you could run it on a tnt2, but I think that's BS.

[mmgy]

Sorry if I dredged up a dying topic, couldn't resist. :D

I got this all (except the Radeon) at the end of last year.

Asus P4S8X

LG Studioworks 57M 15" monitor

There's other assorted stuff, but those are the things that count. Too many fans (8 I think) but the noise is constant so I just don't hear it.

Will the Mid Tower Case and 3 cooling fans be able to cool the system properly or should I go to 10 bay RaidCom tower w/ 3 fans?

if you're gonna leave it stock, then yes, 3 fans will do fine.

mabey he should have it liquid cooled, now those things are badass!!

[sushi128]

or phase change. hell, lets see how we can get the thing damn near absolute zero....

[RAY16]

I'm going to attach a Air Conditioner to the side of my case, then make a custom tube thingy and put liquid nitrogen in it to cool my CPU. Oh yeah!

[sushi128]

here's what we'll do; we'll take the damn most overclockable chip there is (P4 1.6A of course, maybe bring up a 1700+ tbred too) to triton. it's the coldest place in the solar system. believe me, it'll kill your liquid nitrogen setup; this place has frozen nitrogen!!! 38K of nice chilly goodness.we'll be able to take both chips up to 5ghz+! i'll talk to nasa. somebody donate some chips; we'll require a blast furnace too, cause that's the only thing that will keep all the other components with moving parts from freezing.......

Hey, does anyone know when the new Radeon 256 MB card will be released. I know the 128 MB is already out, but their going to be showing HL 2 on a 256 MB card. Doeas anyone know the tenative release date?

I recently read a Dutch magazine who said Europe had to wait till independent manufacturers will make them because ATI doesn't supply within Europe. So that lead me to believe other regions might be able to buy them sooner which region that might be I don't know....my guess is the US. I know this is not the answer you were looking for but it MIGHT help you.

[sushi128]

the radeon 9800 super duper pro (dunno what it's gonna be called :D) will have 256mb of DDR-2 ram. this things gonna be badass. tentatively mid-june (emphasis on tentative u understand)

added: for all who care http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/S&V/radeon_9800_256mb.shtml

not very impressive, if you ask me. definitely not worth the extra 100$

[Digital Pimp]

Really not much difference between it and the 128 MB 9800. But we'll prolly see a big difference in the likes of Doom 3 and HL 2.

[sushi128]

maybe at 1600 x 1200, with 16xAF and 6xAA. otherwise, no way it's gonna fill 256 mb.

[JerraMaya]

hmmmmmmmm :)

I need new speakers :D that's what I need!! ones that make my monitor shake when i bust rounds in CS!

[Rhenna]

Once more time: Logitech Z560. (4+1)

About $160 U.S., online. They have to be delivered by an 18-wheeled truck, the subbie is so big. And they hit like an Exocet. I think they're out of production now; something about U.N. sanctions, or some such.

And that's my Rig...

[mmgy]

I really like the Megaworks 510D's. My neighbours hate them. :D
There's a new version of them now, 6.1 THX 650 super-ultra-plus-mega-boom-tastic something or other.
I wouldn't know enough about speakers to say if they were technically the best, but they're perfect for listening to music and playing games.
Only a few problems I found with them. Wired volume control is just a knob that turns around. I have it velcro'd to the side of the desk but it can slot in under one of the front speakers. They were also damn expensive so if you're on a budget then all this was probably quite useless to you. Also, no headphone/microphone socket.

[sushi128]

we've got a nice long thread in the hardware section (with a lot of info on speakers, if you care). http://www.atrip.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=545

who wants to hear a sad story.... no one?.... Good here goes my home computer only just runs windows 3.5 or something like that and my good computer used to run Linux until it crashed i think some one left a disk in the hard drive[ More than likely.....Me.]
Now thats a shit computer but the oldest running computer we have is from 1993 i think, that or 1994..... My god i need a good computer every time i go to get a good one something comes up.....AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!....im done....

[sushi128]

if you mean win3.1......well, i'm just so sorry for ya.

[Shadow]

3.1 kicked ass.

[sushi128]

hrmmmmm......no, it didn't(not for me anyway). i used it for a few months then switched completely back to DOS until win95.

[MrBored]

Radeon 9800 Pro @ 421/355 ( 3DMark03 - 5948, cant crack 6000 ffs )

2x25GB Fujistu ( still going strong after 2+ years, more ph34rage required)
All sorts of other pointless shit not worth mentioning

[sushi128]

hey, u mind givin a compare link to your 3dmark score? highest i see on ORB with your specs is 5600.

[MrBored]

umm, have you taken into consideration the overclocked Radeon, at stock speeds I get 54xx. Dont I need to register 3dmark before I can post or something?

[MrBored]

ok, I've submitted the results to futuremark. first time I've ever bothered to go to their site :)

there ya go, think thats right:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=805539

[sushi128]

no, i just find it weird. pairing a radeon 9800 with an athlon 1.33 ghz (overclocked or not). u know, huge bottleneck. have u tried running 3Dmark2k1SE? that'll give u a better impression on your overall performance.

[MrBored]

Well this is how I look at it. The cpu does fuck all relative to its speed nowadays. Think about it, the cpu is doing 3 times as many cycles as the graphics card and it doesn't have to do any graphics calculations which are 90% of the game or benchmark, so it spends its time twiddling its thumbs. All it does really is limit my maximum frame rate, i.e. in Quake 3, because of the low graphics card optimization, I can only get 200fps in low detail, but with max FSAA and AF I get 130fps.

But with all this said and done I'm hoping to get my Barton 2800+ within the next 2 weeks :D (And its not gonna run a single clock cycle not overclocked)

EDIT: I cant run 3DMark 2003SE, it says I dont have DirectX 8.1 installed, which I dont cause I have 9, stupid ass program.

[sushi128]

are you kidding? u gotta run a few million cycles in order to get your stock score; then overclock the bitch :)

[MrBored]

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=808096

Muhahaha, broke 6000 yeah baby, ph34r

[WhoGivesARatsAss]

nice bored.. i get around 5174 with my setup.. i really cant understand how the fuck u got that outta a 1.5 gig cpu?!?!..

[MrBored]

My FSB is running at 215Mhz synchronous, i.e. DDR 430, plus my video card was over clocked to 425/355. Ph34r the Radeon 9800 Pro ;)

[WhoGivesARatsAss]

but then why does futuremark state 378/338 clocks.. cheating are we.. fucking 3dmark03.. i did it once too.. bumped my clocks to 400/400 and then changed the setting and that bitch didnt detect a single thing.. bah! :p

[MrBored]

lol, I see.

[unskinnybob]

I get a score of about 2000 in 3dmark 2003. Who's the man now? Huh? Who's the man!

On 3dmark 2001 I almost equal WGARA's score. I get just below 11000.

Alas, still I cannot anti alias.

[sushi128]

yeah, that's why i told him to run 3Dmark2k1SE. sorry to tell ya, but chances are that score has NOTHIN to do with the FSB u have. i took mine up to 202 from 180, and it gave me 15 pts!!!! and then i overclocked the card 15mhz on the core, and it gave me 102pts. 99% graphics crad, 1% everythin else. i've heard DC DDR helps, but probably not by much.

[MrBored]

I cant run 3DMark01SE, it says I dont have directx 8.1, I told you that. I will attach the screenshot of the message I get when I get home.

omg, i found the other man on the planet that has the 641's. aren't they great? :D
