What computer do you use?

Jun 27, 2004 at 1:07 AM Post #106 of 157
Main System

Sager np5690 laptop
15" 1600x1200 native screen
60gb 7200 rpm hard drive
2gb DDR dual channel 400mhz sdram
3.4ghz P4 northwood w/ht
128mb ATI 9700 mobility
CD-RW/DVD-ROM (Toshiba, probably)
Floppy
Ports up the yingyang (Usb, firewire, svideo, minivga, spdif optical, ect...)
External 250gb Hitachi Deskstar
Klipsch 2.1 speakers

Old Main Rig (although I seem to use it a lot still)

Athlon XP 2000+
120gb WD Special Edition
40gb Seagate Somethingorother
512mb Mushkin Enhanced pc2700
128mb Geforce 4 Ti-4200 (longest running card I've had. before this one it was a Geforce 2)
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard
LiteOn DVDROM
CD/RW that doesn't burn anymore

Old as the hills laptop

Compaq Presario 1244
AMD K6-2 400mhz (I think)
32mb of RAM
2.1gb hard drive
CD-ROM

I've been thinking about getting rid of my desktop, but I don't think I'd get anything for it, and it's still a great performing machine. On the other hand, I dont think I can go back to the slow compile times in Visual Studio or the 10 hour AutoGK sessions. My new laptop can convert a DVD to Xvid in less than an hour, and I can play ZSNES while it's doing it. Only drawback to the sager is the audio, I used to have an Echo Indigo pccard sound card, but with ACPI it had irq conflicts and wouldn't work properly, and there's no way in hell I'm disabling ACPI on a P4 laptop.

And some of my codec software constantly crashed on my AMD systems, but had never crashed on my previous Intel P3/700 system. (Again, I blame the motherboards that I had used, not AMD, for the crashes.)


Oh, did I forget to mention that I've had problems with the USB port(s) on my old NF7-S? My USB force-feedback gamepad controller took much too long to respond with any force-feedback when plugged into any of the USB ports on that NF7-S. It turned out that my game controller didn't like the Abit mobo or the nForce2 chipset's USB controller.

I do, been folding for team [H] since the beginning of the year. My box is:

Barton 2500+ @ 2.1GHz (it's a real old stepping, will do 2.2 but gets quite hot and needs a lot of voltage for that)
512 megs of GeIL PC3200 ultra
Epox 8RDA+
GeForce4 Ti4200
10 gig and 40 gig 7200rpmHDDs (looking to get something bigger soon)
2x DVD ROM drive (it's 5 years old but still works fine)
48x TDK burner
Audigy 2 OEM
wireless card, other crap
17" CRT, also 5 or so years old, also still works fine

I also have a 1900+ folding 24/7. Was going to borg my brother's 2300+ but he doesn't have a net connection right now.
