AMD XP 3200+
Dual Kingston 184 Pinn 512mb
Maxtor 7200 RPM 120 gig h/d
NForce 2 Mobo
why such a small hard drive?
lol, that isnt small, dont lie :P
As of today i know have 360gb of space in total (ok, only 160gig free, but :D)
i got a 160gb 7200mb ata133 8mb cache maxtor, cheap as a cheap thing, like 60 quid, gives me 200gig total, which is nice, 120 is just... tiny, kept fillin my 40 gig one O_o

with pr0n?
nah, unreal 2004 is 6gb, which is over 10% of a 40gb hard drive, add, 1.2gb for neocron, thats 7gb, windows = 5gb or summit = 12gb, so we are over 20% full without even touchin the sims 8 in 1 pack, which is like another 6gb, then the sims 2, which is 3gb, thats 15gb so far, then I had to chop up my hard drive into two partitions, about 20/20gb each to backup my stuff, so was left with like 5gb, not much tbh, now my 40gb drive is just backups, my 160 is split into 2, one for linux, one for xp, plenty of space, 34gb used on drive C
..... I only have 520 gigs in my computer atm...
the last 4 harddrives are on hold...
The expansion card slowed my computer down too much...
And I ran out of space ages ago.....
At new computer :
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!! Did you buy amd ?
Intel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> AMD
seein as how u run outta space, gimme a geforce 5700 or summit, my 440 really has had it :(
Oh beat this, I got 10 Gigs bitches :-p, My 120 gig harddrives fried on meh :-\ and only had a 10 gig laying around. I need to get out and buy new harddrives

I think you've had more trouble with your PC recently than KK have had fixing bugs in NC2 :lol:

perhaps you'd care to enlighten me, what piccies will i be making?
and if i need more harddrive space, then i'll buy another harddrive when the need arises

a lot of cool piccies... I´ve seen most of the others you´ve made, and I would miss it if you stopped making them...
and yes of course you will just buy a new hdd when you need :)

now, my ideal machine..
AMD 64FX-53
1GB Dual Channel Crucial DDR RAM
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
GeForce 6800 Ultra
A couple of rather large sata drives
MSI SATA CD/DVD-RW

forgot 2 things lexx, first you need more ram. 3 gigs should do the trick. and stripe them harddrives. that'll make windows 3.1 run wicked fast.
3 gig? nah, lets go for 4, 4 x 1gb dual channel stuff, naturally they are stripped, didnt think I needed to point that out :p the mobo is nice too, nforce3, the 4 should support the 6800ultra pci apparently
I wonder how 3.11 would run on a p4 prescott? hmm...
I'm suprised no one came on like... OMG UR RIGG iZ teh SuXXOR.. it seems that no matter what somone posts as their specs someone always says that its complete crap.
Here's mine and I'll show you what i mean
PIV 3.0 E (prescott)
Gigabyte GA-8KNXP
1Gb Samsung DDR on Dual Channel
2 Maxtor 160Gb 8mb Cache IDE Drives (striped for 1 305gb drive)
Geforce 6800GT 256 Mb Video Card (AGP 8X) (dual head)
Geforce 4 MX440 64 Mb Video Card (PCI)
Creative Audigy ZS 7.1 SC (with creative 7.1 speakers)
Liteon 8x DVD-RW Drive
Liteon 16x DVD-Drive
1 Dell 17" Analog Flatpanel
2 Dell 15" Digital Flatpanels (yes 3 monitors)
Thats my rig... lets see what people say :)
they the diamondmax 9's? coz that sounds exactly like teh hard drive I'm usin, do urs grind slightly btw?
I'd take 2x72GB Raptors over 2x250GB 7200 drives :P
I think you've had more trouble with your PC recently than KK have had fixing bugs in NC2 :lol:
Damn skippy! I think you might be right

The geforce 4 is a pci card.. it just powers one monitor that doesnt play games so no biggie.
Widnows 3.11 couldnt run on a machine with over 20gig hard drive for a start, lol.
You should use Linux, then you'd really get the best performance out of your new box :)
We should start a system specs thread :D

Well, I got an OS that supports that CPU, but nah, though Intel are to reprice the Itanium against the Xeon, the Xeon does have the P4EE which has 64bit instructions, I just wanna nice home version that doesnt require a mortgage to buy :p
