Not a Fanboy Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 A while ago I said bye to Vista. I installed Mac OS X tiger X86 for the hell of it, but it sucked (no sounder, WLAN, ethernet, and I had no Mac programs). A day after installing OSX I put ubuntu on. the day after that my hard drive failed. I was using live CDs for a while (Ubuntu, Kubuntu), the day after that I got a new hard drive. Still 160 GB, but this one is quieter and uses less battery power. I installed Ubuntu and am using that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(EPIC WINZ!!!) Intel doesn't have a CPU at 3,2 GHz stock right now, so it will have to be an older model. So it isn't really an epic win. Also, mine runs at 4,4 GHz. Wolfdale CPU, so it's a new one.

GTA Don Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 IM freaking jealous. Radeon sound card Lexmark Printer I'm sorry but that doesn't say much about your PC. I guess I should add that I have an Epson all-in-one printer. Also, ATI don't produce sound cards, most PCs come with intergrated sound. Radeon is ATI's GPU brand.

Pandora Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Forgive me, they do. Didn't know of that one at the time QX9750. Pretty stupid buy to be very honest. I mean, it's a great CPU, it really is. But looking at the rest of his config, he isn't a die-hard computer enthusiast at all, so having that CPU just doesn't make sense. If you're not going to do extreme overclocking, why buy one of Intel's Extreme CPU's. Just go for their normal Core 2's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Isn't the QX9750 a quad-core? Might be a Pentium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Pentium? WTF? It's a QX, how could that be a pentium? It's a quad core, yeah. There are no quad pentiums It's a very expensive, high-end CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Nononono. I mean, the processor that SV was talking about, it might be a Pentium. Yeah, the QX9750 is really expensive. You could get a nice PC with a 4870 and maybe a Core 2 Quad with that amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMâ„¢ Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Intel Pentium 4 1.7 GHz 256 MB RAM 160 GB HDD nVidia GeForce (364 MB) One of the most crappiest, boring and slow PC's there are. I think around the year 2001-02 (That's when my parents brought it) was probably where it was a good PC. Now, it's like the worst systems right now, can't even play GTA 3 well and Photoshop takes more than 2 minutes to load, my bro's PC takes around a few secs to get it all up. Hopefully I'll be getting a nice PC with a better GFX Card, along with more HDD and RAM. So pretty much, any good PC will do me good as long as I can at least move away from this shit.

I installed Mac OS X tiger X86 what were you smoking He's probably installing a patched version of OS X; if you might notice, Apple began switching to Intel two years ago, since they find PPC CPUs expensive. They're the same x86 stuff found on an average PC, so the 1337 lads devised ways to make Mac OS run on non-Apple hardware...

TM™ Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 BUMPITY BUMP. Well, I ordered a new PC just a few days ago from Mesh, it's a pretty mint PC I got and hopefully will beat the shit out of this PC. Specs are: Intel® Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz) Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1, 64-bit ASUS P5N-MX Nvidia Geforce7050 Mainboard - Intel Core™ 2 Duo/Quad Core MATX 4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM - (2x 2GB) 500GB Serial ATA Hard Drive with 16MB Buffer Samsung 22x Dual Layer DVD Writer Super Format +R/-R/RW/RAM 512MB nVIDIA GeForce 9500GT 20.1" Widescreen LCD TFT Yeah, people are saying the GFX card is fail, but I don't care because I'm not really going to be playing games on my PC like all you guys, I got college coursework to get done, so until then, no PC games for me. But around Christmas I'll upgrade since I'll have some monies on me, but with the EMA thing being delayed due to the government making that rescue package, It'll be hard to get a good price. But yeah, it has massively improved from my current PC I'm using. I probably can play GTA SA, VC and III now, but also some of my old time favourites too.

Damjan Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Damn,couldn't you get a 9600GT?On 9500 the gamez will be ShiT.(no seriously). And Vista sucks hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Damn,couldn't you get a 9600GT?On 9500 the gamez will be ShiT.(no seriously).And Vista sucks hard. My budget was £600 or under, if I added a 9600GT It would've went up. And no, I don't believe their are any games that will be shit on their, just cause it's under a 9600GT means it's shit, I mean, Call Of Duty 4 will most likely work on it (Well I need to check the requirements for it). Vista does suck at some point, I mean if you're a gamer, not every game is compatible, but I'm not going to be playing games on it, I'll be working more of a less, but I will probably play games on it when I have free time. So at some point, Vista will be fine for me. Oh and Lonewolf, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with that RAM i doubt that it will suck. Everything will be fine oh and i think you need to make a bigger partition for Vista to make it more stable. Oh and Lonewolf, thanks.

Pandora Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 same aka [something]: You have never used Vista or you have, but have a shitty computer. I know that, because if you what I said was not true, you'd like Vista more or at least as much as Windows XP. It isn't 'cool' to say what other people have said you know. Use it and draw your own conclusions. And though the graphic card isn't great, if you aren't planing to run games, then it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMâ„¢ Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Well, 9500GT does seem to look like a decent card in price range. But watching a few video's and stuff, it seems decent when it comes to Call Of Duty 4 and other games, but really, I'm either going to be working on it more than playing it, but I will probably play some games when I'm free and stuff. And yeah, Vista's actually awesome, in design view it's pretty sweet, and at some point it's pretty swell when it comes to opening some windows up, fade in affect is like ftw. But yeah, some shit happened. I'm gonna be phoning MESH tomorrow about my order, they said something about receiving a second email about my delivery date, but hasn't even come?

WRX22B1998 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 well i mean if your not really playing games a lot, then even an integrated card would be fine. Plus, a performance increase of up to 3x over the comparable 8 series graphics card <- from nvidia.comi assume they mean 3x over a 8500gt ? the rest of your specs are great btw. despite my userbar vista is actually good when it works. just have had bad experiences with friends pc's that have vista.
