God Jan 06, 2003, 02:36 PM We have 3 machines at home. A celeron which I use to play civ games and rpg games and counter-strike. Then there's a PIII in another room at 866 mhz, 256 mbram, and the big bad boy:
Dell Dimension 8250
Pentium IV 2.4 ghz
512 DDRAM
Geforce 4 MX420 64mb
120 GB Hard Drive
Integrated Audio
17 in NEC LCD
Some old HP printer
Cable modem- this is the base PC and the others have wireless connection through a router.
The only thing needed to be upgraded sometime is the video card. Dell offered the Geforce 4 MX, ATI Radeon 9700 TX and the ATI Radeon 9700 pro. The MX was alot cheaper. Pro was waaaay to expensive. TX wasn't too bad, but it looks like the same as a ATI 9000 Pro or 9500. I don't think there is a major difference. Anyway I like NVIDIA more so I'll probably get a Geforce Ti 4400 or 4600.

Rheinmetall Jan 20, 2003, 11:05 PM Yes I am. I have looked for one for a while now... Maybe Radeon 9700 Pro or something similar. But until I get enough spare money, the mighty Creative stays.
penvzila Jan 22, 2003, 10:14 PM How the hell did I write that????
IceBlaZe Jan 24, 2003, 12:03 PM Update: Changed my Monitor to a 17" LCD.
Anyone wanting a new G-Card should wait for the release of the GeForce FX. It's gonna be smashing.

It's not smashing. Its "way too expensive"(tm)

IceBlaZe Jan 27, 2003, 02:19 PM "Expensive" is relative. Those who posses the wealth, posses the opinion. ;)
Mikoyan Jan 28, 2003, 05:51 AM Ok, i only got 256mb ram with my new motherboard, and my old 128mb chip soesn't work. But hey, 320mb ram isn't bad... :s

The Person Apr 05, 2005, 01:51 PM For the record, I built my desktop myself, and I'm satisfied with the result.
t0mme May 09, 2005, 10:45 AM My dedicated DOS PC, bought in 1996 and upgraded last year:
Pentium 166MHz
128 EDO MBRAM
Tseng Labs 4000 1MB
Voodoo Dragon II 8MB
Voodoo Dragon II 4 MB
(All cards are linked (SLI), creating one "supercard" ;)
1,1 GB HD
40x CD-drive
Speedlink Joystick
15 inch monitor
Windows 95 and DOS 6
I can run EVERY Dos game on this one. Even the conventional memory monster like Aces over Europe WITH mouse and CD-Rom support. The trick lies in the order of your lines in config.sys and autoexec.bat. With the right order you don't waste precious Upper Memory Blocks. It took me a full two days to get it perfect :). I now have 624k of permanent free conventional memory, every program is crammed in the UMB.
Yes, I'm actually proud on that :mischief:
PM if you want help on managing your memory in DOS (including help on config.sys, autoexec.bat, msdos.sys, the mem command and EMS.

For memory's sake, since you're still a regular poster.

8 MB Matrox Millenia G200
56 kbps Modem (since upgraded to ethernet)
