Ultimate Dream Computer

[Joe Matt]

What is your ultimate dream computer. If anything was possible. Here's mine...

-Dual AMD 2.2Ghz
-G4 Sheel only a little smaller
-OSX and XP
-1 GB of SDRAM
-NVidia Graphics Card (don't know which one, not into that, really)
-Supe Drive (DVD-R & CD-RW)
-Apple Cinema LCD Screen (22")
-4 Firewire
-8 USB
-6 Piece Speaker System with Sub-Woofer
-Optical-Wireless Mouse with Track-Wheel

That's all I can think of now, any more sugestions and/or creations of your own?

Umm,,
One that is fast,
and has a DVD/CD-ROM and writer,
and actually doesn't freeze up all the time,
and I'll be happy

Computers are no fun when they are perfect. Messed up PC's give me something to do

While I'm at in a dream state...
An 18 processor cluster, Athlon XP 2000, overclocked to true 2.0Ghz
18 gig DDR ram
22 inch LCD

Now, anyone want to compare rendering benchmarks?

as much as i hate to say it, intel has the upper hand here. a set of dual 2.2gzh foster core xeons will kick amd's %%% in rendering, at least in lightwave.. but as soon as amd has sse2 extentions, well then, intel = pwnd

does my athlon xp 1900 with 512mb ddr, geforce4 ti 4600, 20x10x40 burner and a crap load of games count as a dream computer (though i sorta have it right now...)?

[Joe3]

and how much would these "dream machines" cost?

One heck of a lotta money, but in 3-5 years you could probably get one for $599

[Joe3]

true, but in 3-5 years would you still want it?

Think, what speed would a 5 year old computer be today?

[gniticxe]

silly joe, I think you missed the joke there...
oh well - my 'dream computer' is almost finished now - I'm just waiting on the final part to make everything happy. I even have a beautifully moded case to go along with it (here). I guess I'll post the specs when I get my second processor

[Joe Matt]

I remember in the gold ol days when you were luck if you had a hard drive. My point is not what you want in relativity to todays technology, my point is to think up the most amazing things. Sure this didn't go very well in my first post, but let your imagination run free.

[Zeinin]

im on the list for 2 sledge hammers... cant wait
