Thought it would be interesting to find out how powerful everyones computers are here, especially since alot of people edit and use photoshop etc.
Plus Im shit at understanding computers so its interesting for me to see what most people have and what people redeem to be 'fast'.
So post your computer spec, memory, ram, processors etc.
CUrrently I have :
Mac Pro:
2 x 2.66 GHz dual-core intel xeon processors
2GB 667 MHz DDR2 VB-DiMM of ram
250 gigs internal memory.
Ive never really had a problem with speed, but am updating my comp to hopefully make it slightly faster for editing. Getting 6gb of ram put in and 2tb of internal memory.
If Ive forgotten any computer lingo/spec just include it in your posts as I'm a computard.
EDIT: ALso just noticed my names changed back, whoever changed it back could you make it 'DEX' in capitals, like it was before. Afankoo.

I'll post the specs of my two computers when I have time at lunch, but good thread idea DEX.

8 Gigs of RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512Mb GPU
640 Gig HDD
Run-of-the-mill LG DVD Writer
With an 850 Watt PSU powering everything up.
Not the best rig in the world, but it plays the latest and greatest games very well. Going to drop a 1 gig Radeon 4870 in there and XFire that shit up very soon, seeing that the 4890 is out, the lower models will drop in price.

Wunt.
Edit - My PC's specs are not worth mentioning. This thing is so slowwwwwwwwwwww. Vista creeps around like a quadriplegic double agent.
1GB RAM
100GB HDD 200GB Ext. though
Normal Ass DVD-R/RW
Pretty much all I really know. My dxdiag is being pretty lame and withholding information.

Where can I find this out?

01 May 2009, 12:09 UTC#9
Yeah just do that. If you have a 32Bit then don't put more than 4GB in there, other than that DO IT.

Oh good, thanks.
I think it only supports up to 2 GB anyways... 32bit = something to do with Windows? :/ If so, I think it is 32bit.
I can't believe, 8 GB of ram, and 4x 2.4GHz, I bought my computer a few years ago but that just sounds insane.

Makes rendering and gaming very very fast. ;D
01 May 2009, 12:34 UTC#12
I know fuck all when it comes to computers, this seems to serve me well though. Anything worth upgrading? (bearing in mind I don't use it to play games)

External image not preserved — inspect source: http://i42.tinypic.com/2rgdkp0.jpgSome RAM would be good if you're using photoshop a lot. Maybe slightly upgrade CPU if you run quite a bit at once.
Otherwise

my laptop I use would be decent if the gpu wasn't so lame, it's a geforce 6150.. -_- I'm actually surprised half life 2 runs good. it's all I can play unless the game dates back a decade or 2.
2.4gb ram
2 cpus clocking at 1.6ghz each.
100gb hd
dvdram/cd burner
found an article showing how to build a powerful desktop for less than $600 (just tower) so, I'll do that once my financial state is in the green.

Denmark is fucking inkas compared to other countries, but there are few places just as good to get drunk in when you're young. If you ignore the current gang shootings in copenhagen and shit.
I'll defend myself by having swedish blood in my veins. Sweden's full of pakis though.
05 May 2009, 10:05 UTC#27
HAHAHA look at me:
amd athlon 1800xp+
1gb ram
1000gb harddisk
geforce 2 or something I think
time for a macbook
05 May 2009, 22:45 UTC#28
haha thats pretty much the same spec as the computer I had before I built this one, worked pretty well, just not for gaming, so I switched up

06 May 2009, 22:36 UTC#29
Windows Vista
250 GB hard drive
2 GB ram
Intel Dual-Core Processor @ 2.00 GHz
NIVIDIA GeForce 7100
I also got another computer but the specs suck my friend just gave it to me for free back in 2004 and It was originally shipped to him back in 2002. Since then I've added 2 hard drives, more ram, a DVD RW drive, it's legit for pretty much anything but games and photoshop.
07 May 2009, 15:27 UTC#30
I ran a scan using this site;
http://www.crucial.com/uk/index.aspxIt says I have 4 memory slots, 2 in use, 2 free, with 4GB RAM, max. Basically, where are these other slots? :/ I've opened up my comp and had a look, I can see the 2 in use... Are all four not together? Nothing else in there looks like it could be another bank of memory slots.
Any help?
