Wolf Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 BB, Nice new Dell 2GIG Pentium, 40GIG hardrive, Ram's only 256 though. And to think, all this time, I thought that UO was supposed to move like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I still feeding my rats and gerbils. They starting to run slower and the wheel is barely turning now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Wolf: What type of Ram: If it's an RDR system (which it should if you really want a performer on the evil evil intel) get another 256 chip, if it's ddr -- get a 512 chip... it'll make the world of a difference.

Ange Sans Ailes Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 *agrees w/ Kurt* *also agrees that that's a very nice system.. minus the Pentium part of course =\* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elathiel Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Going to get much tougher to avoid using a Pentium with AMD killing their processor line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrim Cauthon Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 *has an amd processor* i sure do hope they dont go away or ill have to start supporting evil pentium =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ange Sans Ailes Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Going to get much tougher to avoid using a Pentium with AMD killing their processor line AMD Clawhammer due out soon. Easily going to get AMD back in it. I've been and AMD fan for sooo long. I've got nothing but faith in them. Still a friend pointed out.. that while I do love the AMD's and am semi anti-Intel (as in.. if a Pentium 3ghz were free.. I'd very much enjoy it. hehe) In the end.. as long as we're all not using cursed Macs.. then it doesn't matter if yer using AMD or Intel chip =P UBER off topic.. I'm sorry =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ange Sans Ailes Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Also Wolf.. may I ask the specs of yer vid card? Sorry for being nosy.. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted January 5, 2003 Author Share Posted January 5, 2003 Some of the other system specs. 256MB DDR SDRAM at 266MHz 32MB ATI Rage Ultra 4X AGP Graphics Card (not all that hot, but it'll do for now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Wolf: A Pentium 4 with SDRAM?! What have you been smoking man? Now you'll have to go get about 768 megs of ram to run decently hehe... And as for Ange's comment on pentium 3 ghz -- I wouldnt agree. First: Pentium 4's arent really changing, theyre just getting clocked higher so they run hotter... AMD's still run just as good as p4's because people dont use the proper RDRAM and are going with Sdram or whatever... and as for Macs... macs are godly -- Macs came out with the first Home use 64 bit processor (anyone wanna spent 1k for a 300mhz 64 bit Sparc system?) And run very very very *very* nice -- ####, Mac os X is based off Unix! And Unix blows windows to ####. -- Just because they made user friendly work right and have stability at the same time doesnt mean that you should bash it over windows. (I can think of numerous times i'd rather have a mac than a x86 windows machine) You don't hate macs, you just hate their gaming support -- which has improved dramatically. And uh... Mac's cpu's rock. Did I mention that Macs have a Radeon 9700 on their top of the line box? which has dual 1ghz cpu's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ange Sans Ailes Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 DDR SDRAM and regular SDRAM are two differen't things. He has DDR no worries =P Anything you can do on a Mac.. you can do on a PC.. and the parts will be cheaper. And I've seen the inside of many a MAC.. and I don't like it. (used to work at the Apple manufacturing company.. I know.. I know.. working for the enemy =P) I don't like their gaming support. I don't like UNIX. I don't like the fact that the same comparable system to a new MAC can be build PC-wise for MUCH cheaper. (if you go with AMD of course w00t!) Macs are overpriced for no reason.

Matrim Cauthon Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 nononononono theyre overpriced for a good reason.... that reason is......THEY SUCK...=P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ser Brightblade Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 If I could get decent games on the Mac I'd drop PC in a heartbeat. They are plain and simple nice machines. The problem with Macs has never been if it is a superior machine but lack of software to run on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Thankyou BB! Same reason why I don't use Unix much anymore, though i absolutely love it, it's a pain to get it working a game decently in wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
