Smokie, you may need to sleep with one eye open :twisted:

[sniper-killer]

i have square box :banger:

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

Oh it's chained to a ferocious hamster so I can rest easy. You know what's funny? Everytime I go to my computer stores whenever I see someone gettin a case like the one your gettin I have to stop and ask myself, could that person there be MauryMac?

[-=DoW=- MauryMac]

Hehe, not likely. Forgive my ignorance on the state locations, but im pretty sure you are about 5000 Miles away from me :-) I do have an Aunt And Uncle that live in Oregon. Baseel ring any bells?

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

Aw, so that's what PEI stands for, Prince Edward Island. OK, so maybe it's not you. And no, I don't know anyone by the last name Baseel.

Now if you want a P4C800 you can get it for a mere $220. :mrgreen:

[-=DoW=- MauryMac]

Yeah, USD, which is what, 912 CDN ?

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

And Canadians don't get paid similar wages? Oregon min wage $6.90 Really I don't know what the base pay is around Canada.

[-=DoW=- MauryMac]

Yeah, sorta. Minimum wage here is 6.50 or something i think. I was just making a joke about exchange rates. I dont bother with economics, dont have the head for it. I can either afford it, or not :-)

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

That's about what I can do. But I got a big tax refund this year. :twisted:

[TR-JustinMc06-]

Father, what do i think? you have too much money :)

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

An update for my computer, A brand spanking new GeForce FX5200

[Father-Time.]

Hehe @ Justin, i wish. Just my little hobby. And i like green.LOL
I was tempted to get a GeForce FX, but after reading reviews for the ATI 9800 pro now i not too sure :? , Have to look a little deeper i think. So i just bought a ti 4800 nvidia. :D

Father

[TR-JustinMc06-]

BTW, send me the vid card you replace with that GF FX or the 9800, it would be a lot better than what i got :)

[-=DoW=- JBDiamonds]

This is my system. Would this sytem be sufficent to be used as a server? :D

Dell Dimension 8200Series, Intel Pentium Processor at 2.4 GHz
1 GB RDRAM
Dell 19" 1900 FP Digital Flat Panel Display
128 MB DDR NVidia GeForce Ti 4600 Graphics Card with TV-OUT and DVI

[Father-Time.]

Hey justin, postage would cost more than a new card man :D

JBDiamonds i think that would do as a server!! Well a little more that DO really. However the extreme lag would be caused by your modem.
I think i am right on this, :?

Father-Time

[FearBlade]

a well here is mine:
chieftech big tower
300 watt psu
amd athlon xp2000+
256 ddr ram
52x actima
20x yamaha cdrw
abit kg7
asus mx 460 64 ddr ram (just blew mine Gf'4 ti 4200 128 :( orderd a new fx card)
dunno what sound card i got =P
17" crt (needs SERIUS cleaning seeing e's allower the place =P)
55 gb hd
and one waaaaaaaay to big subwoofer (used to have it in the living room)
and a funky old green mouse pad

[TR-JustinMc06-]

That would make a great server -=DoW=- JBDiamonds, but don't waste it as a server, that is just a little better than my system (only the procrsser, RAM, and vid card) so y don't we do a little trade :)

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

New update for my Baby
P4 2.53Ghz OverClocked to 2.66Ghz
added 512MB PC2100 DDR


edited for Justin do you get it now?

[TR-JustinMc06-]

wow, you gained a whole 100 MHz, i call that not worth it :) lol, i would have stayed with the 2.53 and saved for a 3.06 if i had money :)

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

No no no I bought a 2.53 and OverClocked it to 2.66Ghz. I didn't buy a 2.53 and then a 2.66. Now that would be stupid. My original was a P4 1.8Ghz so it's 866mhz faster. Also I'm testing her out at 3.04Ghz, so far a little warm but haven't had a glitch yet. Not sure if 131 Fahrenheit is too warm but it hasn't froze or any errors. So if all goes well it'll be 1240Mhz faster than my old P4.

[TR-JustinMc06-]

O, ok i got ya smokie.lol. i was gonna say that you were one crazy fool :)

[Father-Time.]

I got my p4 2.4 running at 3.033 with a constant temp of 31.5c, :D
I like that a lot.
