What speed is your computer
What speed is the computer that you use most often? If you want, post any other specs you want too.
|
Well, let's see, I currently posess the following PCs
486 25 mHz desktop Pentium 90 laptop P-II 300 desktop P-III 450 desktop P-4 1.7 GHz laptop P-4 2.53 desktop Only the last four are usually running, though I occasionally drag out the P90 laptop for programming (less often now that I have a working serial port). The P4 1.7 laptop is my main machine, though. The others are used by other family members. |
It's amazing how they now use gigahertz to measure speed instead of MHz. Anyhow
Intel Celeron 1.5 GHz 512MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX420 about 60GB total hard drive space (2 HDs) Those are the basic specs. There's much more I'll add later. |
For our new computer, we have a Thunderbird AMD Athlon 950MHz chip and for our really really old computer, all I know is it's a 66MHz chip.:p We could've gotten a 1GHz Athlon chip but my dad didn't want to pay extra to get it. It wasn't that much either.

I built a similar system for a customer at my store, complete with 3.06 p4, 4x dvd burner (the new Sony DRU500, DVD+/-R/RW), all in wonder radeon 9700 pro, 2x80gb WD SE (8mb cache) drives striped, and a number of other bells and whistles, came out to around $3500 with a 21" viewsonic .24 pitch CRT. I benched it with 3d mark, only came out to around 14500 with hyperthreading off, about 14000 with hyperthreading on. Granted, it renders (e.g. photoshop, 3ds max) at incredible speeds, but for 3d gaming, I benched an athlon XP 2600 (333fsb) with literally the same memory, graphics card, hard drives, and as equivalent a motherboard as I could find, and it produced 15000 easily. This is why in my shop, I recommend Intel for graphics/multimedia processing, but AMD for hardcore gaming- although granted each procesor is fast enough to run anything rather well, one is better suited for one purpose, while the other for another. Just my two experience cents.

Celeron - 700 Mhz >_<
CD burner - 48-16-48 320 RAM um... some other stuff cable, router :D i need a new computer... i've said that for a long time too.. :D |
I now have a 900mhz too. It seems to have started working again just as quickly as it died.

Anyone got Laptops?
I got a IBM R series 1.06 Celeron /w 128 RAM 1028x768 max 20gb HD and a CD-ROM drive that was claimed to be a DVD/CD-RW combo when I bought it in Japan. and then I have my crappy Toshiba Satellite Pro: 133mhz pentium 32 RAM 640x480 max 2gb HD The battery spilled acid 2 years ago, and it crashes whenever I load Word (never a good sign), so I mainly use it as paperweight, weapon of choice, and sitting mat.

Let's see *pushes away the junk*
Families Computers 1)Packard Bell (junk) pentium 1 2)Compaq 5700N (the standard setup for it) 3)Compaq 6500N (slightly better) 4)Another Compaq, and this is the first of all of those that runs over 1 Ghz but I seldom use it (mother uses it for writing her books) 5)Apple IIe (I'm trying to fix it up *modify and use parts* but right no it's broken *movers putting a piece of re-bar through the hard drive took care of that* AND, WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR 6)Powerbook 180 (mac) Only about 2.5 in thick!! Proccessor Speed counted in Kilohertz!! Memory (total) is so low that a double density floppy comes close to doubling it!! Batteries (1 in thick, 5 in by 5 in) last a whopping 3-5 hours!! No CD drive!! 8 color!! (not 8-bit, just 8) phone line (not for internet, for a network or fax only) Some of its software would be: Word 1.0 Draw 1.0 Excel 1.0 Fair Witness 1.2 (I think word, draw and excel might only be v 0.8 on further examination) On the upside, it seldom freezes, has a (500 word, lol) spell-check, it's fans aren't enough so you could probally cook a egg on it while you work, but it still boots up every time I need to write an english theme and unlike the other computers, I own every single last little mac man playing inch of it.:D |
Technically, it's an 800 MHz eMac, but you can double the MHz rating on a Mac to get the equivalent Pentium rating.
512 megabytes of RAM. 60 gig harddrive, with a 70 gig external fantom firewire. Internal DVD and CD BURNER, as well as an external 16x10x40 CD burner. 17 inch flat screen 16 watt built in speakers, but they're connected to my ceiling mounted large speakers. Mac OSX 10.2.4 iLife Photoshop GoLive Safari and it's connected to my 1200/512 broadband DSL line.... It's my baby. I named it Über. I've also got a 400 Mhz iMac named Ted and a 450 Mhz Yosemite Powertower named Yaz, the latter of which is running www.theforceteam.com among other things as my webserver. I also operate a Linux box on a fiber optic line at my work. --Petey |
I have a 1.4 GHz computer that I run 3ds max 5 on at home. At our team HQ we have like 4 computers ranging between 233 MHz with only 16 Mb to 64Mb of ram. Needless to say I'm forced to learn 3ds max at home lol :D. Next year will be the first year our team enters the animation competition so you'll probably see me posting questions on the message boards.

It's funny seeing those with 700+ MHz complain.
I Have a '96 Gateway P5-200: Pentium I 200MHz 64 MB of RAM 15.5 Gigs of HD Space 17' Samsung Monitor (3rd one) But we added a lot of stuff over time like a HP CD burner, Scanner, new printer, Voodoo 2 graphics card (now obsolete), etc. And most recently, Time Warner Roadrunner Cable Modem. I am sure glad to have it, now my computer is tryign to keep up w/ the net, instead of the other way around. Meh 200MHz processor is still kickin! *I had a whole components list I made, and it is backed up on CD somewhere, before my HDs were reformatted* |

I got it at Best Buy. They had free shipping on all custom computers and because I bought a printer with the system, I got about 300 in mail in rebates. Then I joined the rewards program there and I will have an additional $50 gift certificate comming.
I was very pleased with this find. Eric |

I just built this computer in my room and its not that great but it does the job... Built it for only $400 bucks... It's got
Intel Pentium 3 833Mhz 256 MB ram 40 gig harddrive 64mb ATI ALL-IN-WONDER VE PCI slot graphics card 52X24X52 CD Burner Cable(of coarse) DVD Rom Coming soon- DVD burner, 21" flat screen monitor, wireless mouse and keyboard... forget what I got for a motherboard... It's not bad... I mean it's a PCI slot interface so it's not the greatest to play games... If anyone does decide to build there own comp. put a little more money into it and make it an APG slot interface... |
I've upgraded my PC as of late.
400 Mhz P3 512 MB RAM 79 Gb HD's (split between a 4 (master) and a 75 (slave)) Creative 4.1 Surround Sound Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 sound card <52X DigitalArts CD-RW Drive Comcast Cable Internet via Ethernet cable connection I'm hoping to be able to find a faster motherboard/processor before I'm finished high school. |

Yes but the slot interface has to be APG... You can't just throw an APG card in there
|
instead of telling all the heartwarming capabilities of my comp, all i can say speed wise is that i'm wooed, smitten, and in bliss,
i went from PC Athalon less then 200Mhz (ok prob. lying there) to notebook p4 2.66Ghz :] |

Got a new laptop! :-)
1 Attachment(s)
Apple Powerbook G4 12.1"
867 MHz G4 Processor 256 MB DDR RAM ComboDrive (24x10x24x 8x DVD Read) Bluetooth 1.1 Airport Extreme (54g Wireless, 802.11g) FireWire 400 Mac OS X 10.2.6 Glowing Apple! This laptop is one of the fastest computers that I have ever used. Of course, I'm counting all of the ones that I used on display for 5 minutes too... The 15" G4 is noticeably faster than the one in the 12"... it has an 1MB DDR SRAM Level 3 cache. I didn't have 15" money though. :) :) :) |
Does speed matter?
I have two computers, one at my Kokomo, Indiana home, and one at my Davenport Florida home. The one in Indiana is a 100 MHz Pentium with 16 megabytes of RAM. I bought it in October of 1995. The other is a Pentium 3, Pentium 4, or some such thing with 128 megabytes of RAM and was bought in '03. They both work about the same for what I use them for, e-mail, accessing web sites, and occasional word processing.

Heh heh. My newly built system:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Abit NF7-S (nForce2 chipset) 512mb 400mhz DDR (I know the 3000+ only has a 333mhz fsb...upgrades, though :)) 200gb+100gb+40gb Western-Digital Caviar SE (7200rpm, 8mb cache) (200gb with a $120 mail-in rebate at outpost.com) Pioneer 4x DVD-R (16x cd-r) ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128mb (6x AA, 16x AF, I believe) Enermax Case/PSU (300w) 1-120mm fan, 2-80mm fans, 1 cpu HS/fan, 1 vpu fan, 1 chipset fan 5.1ch surround sound provided by Logitech Z640 (70w) Logitech MX700 (wireless, optical, and rechargeable in a base station) Quick mod to change the green power LED to blue (looks sweet). Red PCB. Future plans: Red rounded ATA133 cables. Dremel out the fan vents in the rear for more ventilation (running hot right now) Get a quieter 120mm fan (Radio Shack fans are NOT quiet...even though 160CFM is nice :)) Place more blue LED's inside the case to create a glow. I have built it myself for about $1400. That is CHEAP! :) I don't need no stinkin' support. I _AM_ tech support :D (This joined the network along side a P3-1ghz (family desktop), a P4-2ghz (sister's computer)) Deceased: Celeron 266mhz. Died during an overclock to 450mhz with a 100mhz FSB. :) Overclocking with no fan at all=bad. Recommended sites: www.newegg.com <-- free shipping www.googlegear.com <-- some free shipping www.knowledgemicro.com (charges $2 to ship to RR Box's though *grr*) <-- free shipping www.amazon.com <-- free shipping on orders $60+ www.outpost.com <-- not very cheap (+s&h) but has NICE sales (Got a 200gb hdd for $150, now they're only $140, I think (maybe $120)) If you want some part recommendations (or have questions regarding building a computer), PM, IM, or e-mail me Oh yeah, I get over 1400 3dmarks03. |

 it's SO NICE. so much better than the 15 incher (i had one until someone ::COUGH::ALEX::COUGH:: broke it, so i had to get a new one) the built in bluetooth is nice (talks to my phone) |
I may be getting a 15" Powerbook. I'm waiting a bit though. I have a 'source' that tells me that Apple is updating the Powerbooks. I /heard/ that it may be sometime in August. Oh, and currently, with the PSU student discount and stuff, there is a $300 rebate on the $269 iPod when you buy the $1800 15" Powerbook (that's with the edu discounts). So I'll be getting $2300 worth of tech for under $1800 :)

My new Computer is a
1.8 GHz G5 900 mhz bus 512 RAM 160 gb ATI 9600 Pro Super Drive (Maybe DVD-R or -R + '+R') Maybe a televiso TV tuner card My other is a 233mhz Beige G3 384 mb of RAM CD-R 40x,12x,48x Quote:
Anyways the timming couldn't be any better to by a Mac, they just slashed prices even more on their educational store. I just saved another $109, which is way less than any retail sotre (by $200.) Also if you have an old Premiere (not LE) CD laying around you can trade it in for Final Cut Express or get Final cut Pro for $500. |

You have a G5?
Wow... (I'm speechless) The 15" Powerbook looks like a read-headed stepchild, compared to the 12" and the 17" models. Is this update going to include a G5 SuperBook (Just making up a name) as well? What about the iBook? It's the only thing left that uses the G3! |

The price is actually not that bad I payed only $2353 with tax and free shipping. |
I'd imagine the 15" will get a different case (the Titanium interferes with wireless), a better processor (probably a 1.25ghz G4), bigger hard drive, better VPU (I think it's a ATI 9000 right now, maybe a 9500 will be coming), faster cd-rom/burner/superdrive (whatever). That's all just speculation. I really doubt a G5 will be coming in it :) (Although that would be sweet!)

I will post this thread again this coming season, and I think it will be interesting to see how the average speeds will have changed. I know that I will be adding a new one to the list!:
--Damian Manda |
Heh, I guess I'll be the first to admit to an upgrade...
new specs: Athlon 64 3200+ MSI K8T Neo 1 gig DDR400 (Samsung) 120 gig WD 8mb cache drive 80 gig 7200rpm 2 meg cache drive DVD+RW (2.4x) All in Wonder 9700pro SB Audigy w/ Inspire 5.1 speakers Random 19" .25 pitch flat CRT 17978 3d marks - all stock, nothing overclocked. 5227 in 2003 Moved the old mobo/cpu to one of my older cases, it's my dedicated linux box now, running gentoo |
Take this:
Pentium 166MHz MMX 160MB PC66 SDRAM 3 IDE H.disks (All IBM, total 17.2GB) ATI Radeon 7500 (PCI) SB Audigy Platinum EX 1 UltraSCSI (Seagate) 4GB H.disk 1 3.5" floppy drive and... 1 5.25" floppy drive Yep. It is still my main computer. Running Windows XP Home, too. And serving 4 different web sites. Im quite impressed. Who needs a gigahertz? :] Inventor 5.0 is actually faster on this system than Inventor 3 was, Im not entirely sure why. |
