Sarah81 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 Wow - killer machine.I think it's great that you earned the money for it yourself. I'm at a fairly large university that's filled with kids who act like Mom and Dad *owe* them laptops, musical instruments, tuition and fee money, an allowance (allowance?!), etc. It's nice to see someone else who'll go out of his/her way to work for something.

minnieadkins 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 I'm not too much of a technical wiz. I know enough to get by, but when it comes to motherboards I can't tell the difference. I just know the basics, so here's what I know.P4 2.6 ghz1 gig ram120 gb hard drivegeforce 4 4800 se *sound blaster live sound cardaltec lansin speakers* I was wanting to replace my vid card, and was wondering what people around here see as the most efficent/price vid card now days. I'm open to suggestions from cards ranging up to $150-$175 or so. ATI or Nvidia seem to be the 2 major companies competing in the gaming industry (which is all I really need a high end vid card for) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give them a couple firewire 250GB external HDD's, they load their project files and then I render the projects to a master DVD for them at about $50 per project. When they finish editing, they can move onto the next project and in an afternoon I can render 2 - 3 of their back logged projects. Then I have two freelance Lightwave artists that lease so many hours per month to render their medium projects. Same thing, send me the files and let me render so they can move onto the next project. Gives me money to support my RC Airplane and Hockey habbits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twitch 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 I have two machines in my house. My brother's (who doesn't live here) and mine. I use one for the internet (my brother's) and my own for web design. Borther's: Processor: AMD Duron MMX, 3DNow - 1.8GHz Memory: 224Mb RAM Graphics: S3 ProSavage DDR - 32Mb Sounds: Onboard Hard Drive: 80GB Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP2Mine: Processor: Intel Pentium 2 - MMX, 334MHz Memory: 198Mb RAM Graphics: Onboard - 8Mb Sounds: Onboard Hard Drive: 20GB Operating System: Windows 2000 ProfessionalI am going to save up soon to upgrade my PC and get WiFi connectors for it. Does anybody know how I can overclock my processor? If you do, then please put it in detail in a PM to me. Thanks. My monitor is a 17" CRT monitor, my brother's is a 17" TFT flat screen. Printers = Lexmark Z500 or something and an Epson C320 or whatever it is. We have a very old flat bed scanner and a stupid old modem. But nobody will listen to the one that knows about these things. And as for my computer, I got the pieces together and built it. And yes, I did buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akijikan 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 I just got this laptop a couple of months ago for only 800(!) and it is freakin' sweet:AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (2205 mhz)80 GB harddrive512 MB RAMATI Radeon Mobility 9600 (weakest part, too bad it's integrated)AC97 Mobo audioWindows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition/Suse 9.3 x84_64As you can see it spec's out pretty nice but the problem with this thing is physical quality. The AC plug broke (the end that goes into the computer) and I had to hack it to attach a new tip. The hinges are floppy. The screen flickers when the AC adapter is coming loose. The battery is loose. Fortunately I haven't had to deal with the largest reported issue of the hinge covers cracking, but then it's only been a couple of months. You get what you pay for.Don't buy any of the eMachines m68xx series (all the same except for processor). They're made with the same Arima "K8-Shadow" outer shell. Also the same for Gateway 75xx series (gateway owns eMachines). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killer008r 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 Sarah it also helped that I have my own computer fixing business which I don't have to pay taxes for because I don't have enought customers yet. I get around $100-200 per job which helps out even more. And in this highschool I'm in everyone keeps saying how their parents owe them so much. And they say I'm just mooching off my parents to get the money to be able to buy that. HAH!!! I'm probaly the only hard working one out of all of them.
