Ahhhh I Love Nforce 2 boards.

256 800Mhz Cray X1 Processors (Liquid cooled) (16 Node boards) (64 MSPs)
256 GB RDRAM (204 GB/sec peak bandwidth per node)
Peak system speed 819 GFlops
1.2 GB/sec peak I/O bandwidth
> 1 TB Disk space

I win!

HeHe, I love talking about work sometimes.

you guys ruin all that nice hardware with crappy OS's though!

I hope both stay even with each other. Competition is good. Keeps the prices down.

i tryed redhat but nothing would work soo...

what do you guys use your superpowered pc's for?

i use mine for everything but i needed the power for gaming

any ideas of what i could use my old 900mhz pc when my dad isnt using it?

i tryed seti but i heard rumers that they make everyone do the same thing so there not realy much use for being running it

AMD Athlon XP 1900+
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP Motherboard
512MB PC2700 DDR RAM
128MB PNY GeForce4 Ti 4400
19" Samsung LCD

i have one question, why does the AMD XP model line use figures like 2000 and 2500 when the processor speed is nowhere near that? i bought a 2000, checked it out and it was runnin at like 1.4. so i freaked out and overclocked it to the hilt and now its at 1.66. is this false advertising, a trick played on misinformed consumers or just a set of models on a model line which have nothing to do with processor speeds. I'm pissed, but i know AMD are damn good. Next time its a Pentium cause i feel robbed.

This is more of a marketing tactic. The AMD 2000+ is supposed to compete with the Pentiums around 2.0 Ghz. Even though the AMD is running at a slower clock rate, most of the time outperforms the Pentium, even the slightly faster ones. Faster clock is not necessarily better.

Ocelot.. if you change your comp like once a year.. send me the old parts

LOL!!!! Most of the time I sell the old parts to my friends when I upgrade. Nice try though.

ok ...ok ...what's with all the bragging now?

Guess I'll jump in.

My current setup (home)

AMD Athlon XP 2400 (@ 2Ghz - not overclocked)
512 Mo DDR (@333Mhz)
GeForce 4 MX 440 (with 64 Mo)
Some Epox m0b0, can't remember the model
A nice old Soundblaster Live! 5.1 plugged on my 300 watt amplifier.
Plextor CD-Writer 42x
LG DVD Player
1 hd of 40 gig @ 7200 rpm, and 1 hd of 80 gig @7200
(ATA 133) Starting to look at SATA hard disk. Man those things run like hell.
My video card as tv-out plugged on a 32 inch Sony tv.
I got this big Antec case, black, with a door on the front.
I don't have enough finger to count all my USB port.
Just got the new Act-Labs Force RS system, with USB shifter and performance pedals.

I use it for games, 3d, web design, surfing and playing movie. It's like my home theater.

AMD kick ass.

Insite: It's not false advertisement. Just a model number, read the spec. It's written on the box what's the real clock of the processor.

I'm glad people are participating in this. This is my first thread i created, and I'm glad its such a success. To Ocelot, you truly rock. I have nothing else to say.

ATI Raedon Graphics cards

its AMD with radion and p4's with nivada's
