I had a spare 6GB but I just gave it to my cousin for his MP3 stash. Sorry Q..I woulda.
My desktop is a P3 800(on a CUSL2-C), 512 ram, geforce2 64 meg, and about 67 gigs worth of hard drive space. It's a good system, but i like the smoothness that a dual system can give. So i'm more than likely upgrading with income tax return. (dual P3 1.13 Ghz)

I just purchased an Alienware.com PC. A good one in fact. I was about to add it to my sig and thought, "Holy Crap, this is really fast".
Have you ever felt like a very little person sitting behind the wheel of a really big truck? That is what I felt like when I really thought about it. What the hell do I need all this power for?!?!? I'm not NASA! Hahaha. All I do is play games every now and then, I do bills, & that's about it. I would run seti@home, or folding@home, but my PC is not always connected to the net.
Anyway, you ever feel that way?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Never say that again! Ever!
I thought my AMD 700, 256 MB Ram, 20GB HD, 32MB Vid card was sweet until I started some CAD consulting work and used the guys Dell 1.7Ghz P4, 512MB Ram, 40GB HD, 32MB Gforce 2 system...crap that thing smokes!!!! :eek: :eek:
Fairly middle of the road myself.
Duron 800@912 (previously 1.1ghz but got unstable when i stopped using my 120s)
384 MB RAM
Radeon Le (143 mhz@189 mhz)
20 GB HDD
TDK 16x burner
MX400 sound card
And thats all there is to that.
Its funny...I consider having a somewhat top of the line computer...but you have to remember..what we have are PERSONAL computers. When my dad calls and asks what system ive got going currently, Ill respond with my little tech spiel thats in my sig. He laughs....hes used to working with gigantic supercomputers down in shreiver afb that they do REAL work on.
There can never be a computer that is TOO fast...as sooner or later, the fastest is the slowest....
Somepeople like to stay ahead, or in the front of the pack...Somepeople have to buy every next processor upgrade..and have the money to do it...
I personally dont...but I do try to stay up on top. I have a 1700+ when I could have bought a 2000+. But I didn't....My clock speed is running at the 2000+ level anyways though, so it really doesn't matter. I just bought a geforce 3...thats been out for quite some time. Ive been using a Geforce 2 GTS 32mbs....I NEEDED to get a new GPU, it wasn't a want. I couldn't play my games at 1600x1200. ;)
I have friends that are using a 300mhz k6-2...theres nothing wrong with that, its just different priorities...all they play is starcraft...and it runs just great on theirs.
:D
Oh..and that alienware box DOES kick *** ...I have a black one from antec. I love it..and im going to mod it out soon.

I hear you there. this month I'll be building a dual 1.13 ghz system.
:cool: :cool: :cool:
as for right now I've got a pIII 800 with 256 mb RAM, and 8 gig HD, and a 32 meg Geforce2. I've got no complaints 'bout that. :)
Mine's way too powerful. I've got it duct-taped to the floor to keep it from taking off... :D
