His previous P4 1.4 Ghz had 128 MB RDRAM, and an ati rage. Problem, is he doesn't trust me around his comp (he thinks I'll break it). What's odd, is that he pays this guy to fix his comp and all. Well, there have been tons of problems, and that guy hasn't fixed one- I end up fixing them! Anyways, he is bent upon the Intel only idea.

With all due respect, print this page and shove it up his ass until it reaches back up his nose so he can read it!!!
He should know how dumb it is not to listen to pros....
Tell him his system is not better than a 1.3GHZ AthlonXP. And better yet, print some bench results from Anandtech, they get the best off AXPs VS P4s...
I really really feel sorry for him, I mean even though 90GB sounds nice, without DMA and 5400rpm, it's sad...
PS: BTW we're talking Canadian dollars right? If not....then I will dedicate my next church prayer to his sake!!

Every one slags of Dell. But all the PC's we've bought from Dell have been great. Never had any problems. THis pc that I'm using at the moment is a dell. Used to be a p2 400 but is now a p3 800, didn't even have to change the mother board. It works perfectly well. Have got 4 Laptops which are all still going. Even the old P2 233. My bros' P4 1.7 Ghz is fine. So there machines arn't the fastest out of the block but they don;t go wrong and I think thats what most people worry about. I bugggered computer is a nightmare.
So there.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Yeah I'd say it's dumb since it doesn't exist.You got caught trolling.
The closest one I could find is a little different. 120GB drive instead of 90, and 512MB instead of 256. The big difference is that the worst video card on it is a GF3 Ti200.
$3,700 though. Pricey, to say the least.

Checkit...
Dell Dimension
P4 1.5Ghz
40GB 7200 RPM ATA100
256Mb PC800 RDRAM
DVD/CDRW combo
250 Zip disk
GeForce 2 GTS
19" Trinitron Monitor
Optical Mouse
56k modem
10/100 Nic
Epson Color Inkjet printer
I bought all this for my cousin for about $1600 a few months ago (it's dropped some I'm sure). Mind you this includes the 19" trinitron and everything.
Ask your buddy how he feels about his rig now?
I get corporate pricing though
2 of my 3 pc's are Athlons...Intel is suckin these days. I'll revisit them next year when we start hitting 3Ghz..

Ah, I forgot to mention- the reason the price is rather inflated is because they had some guy install windows on it for them, and install some extra stuff, so it does differ slightly from what u gte in Dell. What baffles me is the Radeon 32DDR and a 2Ghz P4- wtf!

Flame: Yeah, that's the odd thing to me, too. Did he not get it off of Dell's site, or what?

Ok how bout this one then:
1.4 Ghz XEON
512MB PC800
nVidia Quadro2 Pro 64mb
21" Ultrascan monitor
18GB Ultra160 SCSI 10,000 RPM HDD
W2k
$3566.00
Hm? It's about what he paid for his right? LOL. Newbies. Tell him you'll trade him 512mb of SDRAM for his 256MB of Rambus...then go sell it and buy yourself a Gig of DDR Sdram.

well the fact is is that the typical user has no clue what he is buying only what he is told by these so called "Experts"
now user is defined as:
user - someone who knows absolutly nothing about a computer but needs it to run aol. the ironic part is that they know more about computers then you do because the "Expert" told them. lol irony within irony!
however pros like us can build a bitchen computer for 1600 easily. I know i can.
What a shame though.
thank god i'm my own tech support and know the ins and outs of a computer!
you should see my computer.. it's fuc'kin bit'chen! i just need a geforce3 ti500 and i'm set! lol! (maybe a faster bigger hard drive though )

For 1 grand I can build a powerhouse. Another one of my friends was gonna get a Dell, but I told him, "Hey, u know I'm a computer guy, and memorize benchmarks all day. Since your parents will let u spend only 1 grand, lemme take care of your comp- I'll build it." He agreed, so that's gonna be one REALLY satisfied person.

We don't need tech documentation, do we? Just look up in device manager and find Primary or Secondary IDE channel under the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers branch, go to the property page, choose advanced setting tab, and enable the DMA mode. (Above is for Win2K/XP). For WinME, the DMA settings can be found in individual drive property pages under Disk Drives branch in Device Manager.
Maybe you knew all the stuff already, but I just curious why DMA mode cannot be set.
