ASUS P3V-4X Motherboard / ATA - 66 / 133 MHz bus
Intel Pentium III 733 Mhz CPU
256 MB SDRAM (PC 133)
10GB Western Digital Ultra DMA Hard Drive
80GB Maxtor 7200 RPM Hard Drive
48x Sony CDROM
64MB DDR Visiontek Xtasy GeForce 4 MX 440
Creative Labs SoundBlaster AWE64 Sound Card
56K U.S. Robotics v.90 modem
NetGear FA311 10/100 ethernet card
17" ADI Digital Plug and Play Monitor
Altec Lansing 5 piece speaker system w/ subwoofer
Windows 98se

I'm pretty proud of this system. I had it put together about two years ago. Back then no one had a 733 MHz processor in thier computer, and I could kick everyone's ass with it. With upgrades and maintence I've been able to keep this one running damn well, and I still would put my machine up against anyone else's. I upgraded the video card, hard drive, and RAM.

Edit: Der...I forgot the most important feature I upgraded, HP 9300i CD-RW (10x4x32)

Philippe why don't you write it this way:

256 SDRAM
40GB HD
Sound card Trdient
Video card
15 Inch monitor

:confused:

You make the reading of your posts very hard. You don't paragraph, you don't capitalize first letters, you don't space correctly and you don't use commas.

Shouldn't be that hard... Try, it will also help you in your English exams when you are older if you get used to it when you are young.

Bit strange combination, bought this one over 2 years ago as a well specced PIII 600. Then my motherboard collapsed. For a little extra I could upgrade to the Athlon and have 512 Mb of Ram.

Notebook:

IBM Thinkpath with PIII 800 and 256 Mb Ram running Windows 2000. Its not mine but my boss lets me play with it :D

vpr Matrix desktop model 2020 - Got it at best buy for about $1100-$1200 :D (about $999 without tax and with a 17in Moniter and Canon S520 almost free (after rebates)) These computers are hardly advertised, but dirt cheap (and pretty good). You should look at model 2250 (at www.vprmatrix.com)
oh and much did every one elses cost?

Intel Pentium 4 at 2.0 Ghz :p
256 MB of RAM

I'm wondering: what does rpm stand for? :confused:

Rounds per minute. It's the speed the disc of the harddrive works that, the faster, the better, the faster access time. Access time is measured at miliseconds, or in short, ms, if you wondered about that too.

Actually, it is revolutions, not rounds :). That is unless your hard drive is firing ammunition at 7200 rounds per minute!
