I got my own computer.

There is no point in getting more than 512 RAM, at least on a Windows machine. It won't make you go any faster. We've tested this out before (my friend that built this did) and unless you're running Linux or FreeBSD, it's not going to do anything for you.

It'll keep you insulated from the pagefile/swap partition. :P

I own you all. Athlon 64, biatches

Is there anything better than my custom 4.0GHz AthlonXP?

Yah laharl, good stuff.

The only reason I would need so much ram is because I constantly run many many apps and my comps on for usually over a month.

I built my own comp and got help w/ drivers and shit.

My computer is probably the worst in history. 2gig hd. 200mb Ram. Pentium CELERON!!??

don't ask.don't worry. I never use it.

[DJ_Analog]

yes Celeron is teh Satan my friend has one and it is slow beyond beleif, my pentium 2 is faster than it (All I run is pentium). I have a 2.4 GHz pentium 4 on the other hand

Celerons are simply Pentiums that didn't work right, repacked under a different label, and sold for cheap.

I've also learned that the SE line of ATI cards are basically the same type of thing. I can't run Deus Ex 2 after all (mostly more due to their inferior optomization coding at Eidos more than the lack of video card power I've got). An SE Radeon card is a Pro of the same model that doesn't work right, so 4 of the 8 pixel chanels (or something like that) are shut down. There is a way to unlock the other channels/port/whatevermabobits they are called, but the problem is, 9 times out of 10, one of the 4 that are off are broken, so unlocking it will cause graphical glitches in your 3d rendering (as was the case with my own card.)

Still, I can't complain. I can run Halo PC well on it (considering that the game also has notoriously bad optomization, and it runs just slightly less smooth as an x-box with full detail on 800x600 res), and the card was only $136, whereas a 9800PRO would have cost me $223.

I purchased the whole thing from Newegg.com, a site I highly recommend for computer builders out there.

I have Alienware.

[jewpinthethird]

Alienware comps are cool, but too expensive (unless you are getting a Laptop).

The wise man speaks the truth. See, this is the problem with getting a computer by means other than your own money. Sure I appreciated the new computer for Christmas a few years ago but...

Celeron? Oh, man...TONS of problems. The Celeron 1.2 GHZ processor has enough trouble running Stepmania for God's sake.
