[insert philosophical statement here]

ooooo
you have 2 viewsonics?
i wanted to get one of those....
what are the pf775's like???
any thing your not happy with them?

The lack of thermal protection on Athlon's is cunning way to stop morons from using AMD.

Well, I have perhaps the oldest but certainly not the suckiest rig,

AMD K6-II 350@500 MHz, under a stock intel P3 cooler!
RedFox AGPALi board (older rev A, does only ATA/33)
32MB PC133@100 CAS3@2 SDRAM
10.2GB Samsung Voyager HD @5400 rpm
Cirrus Logic 5440 PCI/VGA display card w/1MB memory
Samsung 14" 45Bn monitor
52X Samsung CD-ROM drive
ESS1869 ISA sound card
Typhoon 180W speakers
and last item sucks - a crappy cheap Taiwan made Tree AT case with 200W SMPS.

Its running Windows98SE, the BIOS and Windows are hand tuned for max performance, and is well maintained, it boots in under 40 secs, all apps load and run heck fast, faster than the next door P-III 866 system!

At times the 32MB seems too less, so I might upgrade it to 64 or maybe 128 sometime later!

And this is what my new rig is going to be, by this monthend:
Athlon XP1600+, OCed it to probably XP2000+ or thereabouts
Asus A7A266-E motherboard (I am great fan of ALi chipsets)
256MB PC2100 DDR-SDRAM (maybe PC2700 is available by then)
40 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm HD
Asus GeForce2MX w/32MB SGRAM
Samsung 15"/17" monitor
Samsung 8X DVD-ROM/12X CD-RW combo drive
Soundblaster Live! Value or just PCI128 Vibra
Antec/Lexpro 600/800W speakers, two pairs if possible!
Possibly Chenbro Genie Server case with 300W SMPS, I dont like the fancy ATX cases available right through the town!

girish

Sure. Sure. He has to be kidding.

Right?

Actually, LiteOn 32X12X40X are now avaiable for cheap.

AMD technology + Intel technology = Intel/AMD Pentathlon IV; the <b>ULTIMATE</b> PC processor

maybe i should rephrase that...it's the most stable OS i have ever used....
it has crashed on me a total of 1 time....when i set the vid card to display 256 colors....it couldnt handle 256 colors so i had to keep it at 16 colors.
i've used win 3.1/95/98/98se/me/2k/and xp and out of those OS's....win 3.1 crashed the least amount of times (win me being the most).

EDO ram for the 486 SX-25, that caught my eye. hi hi
EDO was only used at it's full potential starting with the high end AMD 486 DX-4 120 cpus. Perhaps some Intel 486 DX-4 100 sys were optimised for EDO.
