Re: Your System - November 2004

I just got two of these systems, today:

Intel Pentium 4 550 3.4 gHz, 800 mHz FSB, 1mb L2 cache, Hyper-threading
GeForce 6600 256 mb PCI-Express video
512 mb Kingston HyperX PC3200 RAM
80 GB SATA 7200 rpm
16X dual-layer DVD writer
Creative Audigy 2ZS
Gigabit ethernet
Logitech LX 500 cordless desktop

My 13-year old son got the first one. I will be trying to get my stuff off my old PC onto mine, this weekend. My old 2.2 gHz system will go to my 6-year old.

I've been busting at the seams to tell someone about my new computer build! It's not that it's a spectacular computer or anything, it's just that it's my first build and I'm very proud of myself

CASE: Generic Case (from old computer)
PSU: MadDog Multimedia - 450W
MOBO: Asus P4C800-E Deluxe Audio/G-LAN/USB/SATA/RAID
Processor: temporarily from old computer (P4 1.8Ghz L2:512MB 478 Socket)
Memory: 184 Pin DDR PC-2100 512MB and 256MB
Thermal Grease: MadDog Arctic Grease
Sound Card: SB Live! Value (I just love this card!)
Video: ATI Radeon 9700 PRO 128MB
Toshiba CD-RW Drive
Generic CD-Rom Drive

I replaced the motherboard & PSU to prepare for a Pentium IV 3.2Ghz L2:1MB HTT 478 Socket chip, which I will buy when I find a good deal on Ebay. This past month I also bought the following monitor:

Sony 19" Flat Panel SDM-HS94P/S

This monitor is sawweeet!
