What computer do you use?

[Voodoochile]

I've got 8 machines going right now... pretty sad in a way. The oldest one is a 1.3ghz TBird with 512MB DDR in an Asus/AliMagik mobo. Most are AMD, but there are three Intel.
Most recent box is a P4 3ghz in an Intel D875PBZ mobo at 200/800, 1gb Kingston Hyperex DDR400, two WD Raptors striped, Matrox (fanless), in a Sonata box, XP Pro. This is a nice, quiet machine.

Favorite is still the dual Xeon 2.4 box, built on a Supermicro p4dc6+ mobo, 2gb Kingston rambus, Fujitsu 15k/36gb scsi boot disk, four 10k/36gb cheetahs set up as two striped volumes, Elsa Gloria III, W2K. This is a nice, but noisy machine. It sounds like a B-52 idling on the tarmac.

What the hell are you guys doing with friggin Raptors and Cheetahs?!! God damn.

(Not to mention the gb of rams.. which probably serve no purpose, eh)

Considering it's a dual-Xeon machine with an Elsa Gloria III, I'd say it's a modelling machine, and they need all the ram they can get, believe me

 

[xtreme4099]

they like to run 3dmark and get the maximum points to make others mad

 

[D-EJ915]

Believe me, he wouldn't get higher scores than me with that machine. They are speedier and more accurate when modelling, but slow as hell in games. Ram wouldn't help him one bit either...and forget the second CPU, barely any programs are multithreaded compared to the whole gamut, and I'd laugh if a game was!!

Correct.

It's also great for video editing and photoshop.
The other one obviously has no gaming card in it either, so no point in 3dMark. I do use most of the memory, and it's fairly affordable. Photoshop will use as much as you have, so it's pretty cool to load up an 800 meg file and manipulate it in memory. When editing video, you can stream from one array and write to the other array, smooth as can be- the drives have it easy that way.

not me, my quad 15ks are all about raw power potential, why i had that much money sitting around at the time? I ask myself that question every day...

My main computer is a Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop.

Right now, however, I'm on a HP iPaq h5555 Pocket PC (also using it for streaming radio at the moment, listening to a station dedicated to film soundtracks, through Sennheiser PX-100 headphones).
