My amazing laptop: 1 800 mhz Pentium III with speed stepping (Coppermine core, clocked at a bazing 860 mhz, thats 60 mhz more!!!) 1 heat sink with fan + my own "custom" ICE cooling unit (One plastic baggy filled with ICE!) 512 mbs of BLAZING FAST SINGLE CHANNEL RAM!!!! 1 CDRW/DVD combo drive, burns cds at x4.0!!!! 1 mousepad with a broken left button! A 60 gig hard drive filled with more useless hentai porn and buzzed out music than anyone could ever want!!! 1 laptop keyboard thats falling apart, with a broken L key!!! (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.) A HUGE 19" Viewsonic monitor that I got FREE from RIT!!! (Because my original laptop monitor is busted.) A decrepit old battery that has only a 30 MINUTE CHARGE!!! (its always plugged in anyway.) A glitched BIOS that keeps giving me errors if I don't reset it constantly!!! (Gonna party like its 1999. Cause its always 1999...) Overheating problems so bad my ROOM actually gets hotter by 5 degrees every time my laptop runs!!! (after several hours). So much spyware and viri that avast finally gave up the ghost!!! A copy of WinXP so f*ed up it causes the computer to lag when wordpad is opened! (Not to mention my 10 minute boot time.) Yup, that my son is the greatest computer in the world. But soon I will be upgrading to the big leagues. Here is my PLANNED BUILDSHEET: CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103733 75.00 MOBO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131022 102.99 HD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148143 69.99 Powa http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182016 49.99 Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811144010 56.99 RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231098 127.99 VC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125036 76.99 ROM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106066 20.00 Estimated total cost: 579.94 That is neither complete nor exhaustive. But I really need a new machine for college. Its a budget machine, but its still faster then this hunk. Yesterday I ran my old Commie 64 side by side with this guy, the Commie loads up GEOS faster than this guy does WinXP. Talk about sad... | |

| Don't use an IDE hard drive...go with SATA. So much easier to manage. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148142 |

| Also it only looks like you have one ide connection on that motherboard, no point to use it for a HDD since there is minimal if any cost differnce.

Either way, thanks for pointing this out, I must have made a mistake when I was looking at different drives... Because I KNOW I wanted a gen 2 SATA drive. I didnt care too much about the cd drive right now. That can wait. Well, monday mistake, I did compile that list at 3am in the morning many months ago, then saved it to a text file. Thanks again for that, otherwise I probably would have ordered the wrong drive by mistake. | |

| Mine's self-built as well...I haven't upgraded in a while, I really need to...newer games aren't running too good. ASRock 939Dual-Sata2 Motherboard AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU (stock clock) 2GB (4x512) DDR400 RAM (2 sticks of some nice Corsair stuff, 2 sticks generic value RAM...obviously not pushed) ATI X1800XT 256MB GPU Creative Xtreme Gamer X-Fi Running a dual boot with GRUB - I'm primarily using Windows Vista Ultimate with a 10GB partition for Debian that I hardly use (partly because I guess I'm just not that much of a Linux fanboy and partly because there are still no working drivers for my X-Fi). |

| Hmm, nothing great here, but it works and plays every game I've played on it so far. Gigabyte mobo AMD dual core 3800+ processor 2gb of DDR2 450gb of HD Gigabyte 256mb graphics card (need to upgrade badly) And I definitely need a nice sound card... I'm still running on XP, thinking about switching to Vista soon, but we'll see... |
