way to dig out an old thread

 

[loj68]

Neat - to answer the thread topic:

1GB DDR pc3200 RAM
MSI 875P Neo Motherboard
Viewsonic e90f monitor
ATI Radeon 9700 Vid Card
Altec Lansing THX Certified ADA-995

I have a modded Coleco Vision..big number cruncher

My project for this week was configuring my 40MHz SPARCStation as a Windows Primary Domain Controller (PDC) using Samba. Then I setup roaming profiles (which are stored on the server) so that no matter what computer I use in my house, I get the same desktop,startmenu,my documents, etc.

Its great because I use my g/f's laptop in the living room when we're watching tv and then she'll take it to school the next morning. As long as I successfully log out and sychronize my profile, all my files will be present when I log in on my own machine the next day.

No Win2K Server required, however domain logons only work with WinXP Professional (Not Home Edition), but I'm sure you already knew that Home Edition sucks ass.

K, time for me to give myself a shameless plug Since you all know so much about computers, please, tell me what I should buy!! If it's not trouble, link me to a product that will work for me.
I need your guys' knowledge to help me out.
http://www.msprotege.com/vbb225/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32057
I know a lot of you helped me, but I still don't know what I'm doing. I've got the cash, I just need to know what will work on my comp with the specs im currently using. I want to make sure i buy the right parts.

 

[hi-perf]

get a system with like an athlon 2400+, 512MB Ram, and a geforce 4 ti4200, it should do very well in pretty much any application.

 

[chuyler1]

Anything over a 1.3 is overkill for the average user. The only application that I notice a difference between my g/f's 1.4GHz laptop and my 2GHz PC with all the bells and whistles is Adobe Photoshop...specifically the wait time when applying cpu-intensive filters.

I don't play the latest and greatest video games but NFS Porsche, Half-Life, Max Payne, Stronghold, and The Sims work fine on both computers. The Sims, w/o any expansion packs, worked fine on my Celeron 300.

2400+ is a waist of electricity. You might as well double up your computer as a space heater. Just get 512MB of ram and a 7200RPM hard drive and you'll be all set. People often confuse the need for a faster cpu with the need for more ram or a faster graphics card.

reason why i suggest a 2400+:
1. Price difference is minimal compared to a Tbird 1300
2. Will last longer in the upgrade chain than say a Tbird 1300.
3. Generates less heat than a Tbird 1300 (still)

so is a 9800 pro 256mb a waste of electricity if all of his averageness is going to be playing at most solitare and minesweeper?
