One thing that I really didn't see coming was the issue with finding the room to have it. One would think, being an all-in-one unit, that it would be easy to give it somewhere to inhabit, but in fact it's so deep that I'm using it on the desk with the keyboard on my lap. :P I'm thinking of upgrading the hell out of it. It can take 2GB RAM and the CPU can be overclocked from 1.25GHz to at least 1.6GHz via playing with resistors. It should cope a lot better with Leopard at 1.4GHz and 2GB. It will take any IDE HDD, but they're expensive and hard to find. The last problem is the constant fan noise, if it were to act as a server. Some people have used variable resistor fan controllers on them with a lot of success. And I know that if the logic board ever dies, it could be a fun project to fully update it. Put an ITX hackintosh board in there and replace the screen with an LCD. :D I could ever shorten the back, lol. |

With how bad Vista is that could be considered a upgrade.
What model? |

HPs are awful at staying cool when the dust accumulates on the heat sink for the CPU. You get marked performance improvements with them just by simply cleaning the dust out of your HP system, even moreso than other brands or even custom rigs.

The computer is posted above was my grandmother and i put windows 7 on hers and it runs smoothly and i also put it on my which is a little older but has a better graphics card and less ram and runs good but is low on ram because it only had 512mb.

And the next person to say "XP is better for gaming" needs to be shot. Just no. Unless you're playing DOS games, in which case Win95 is better. |
I would argue that point since i have a few games made for XP that refuse to run in vista/7 no matter what compatability options i use.
Anyway, 7>XPsp3>Vista>XPsp2 |
Quote:
7 64-bit > Vista 64-bit > 7 32-bit > XP > Vista 32-bit in terms of gaming (since XP uses fewer resources than Vista 32-bit), but Vista 32-bit is still better than XP for general usage. |

I bought a Toshiba Protege r705 from Best Buy last week. I'm in love with it. <3 It's 3.2 lbs, only about a 1/2 lb heavier than the Macbook Air, but it has an optical drive, so I can still burn CDs and watch movies. -w-

Anyway, the memory is fine. I have 8GB and it's definitely overkill. 6GB is plenty unless you're running several VMs, and even then, most people just say they use VMs to justify having the extra, when they don't actually have a legitimate reason to run them. *glares at a few people here* :cer_laugh: I'd be updating the GPU, yes. Depending on what you're looking at spending, the GTX 560 Ti is looking very promising. It would be just over twice as fast as the 250. You'll notice that much more than a RAM upgrade. Very nice, by the way. Quote:
Loving my new AMD 6950, by the way, but I'm thinking I'll need a new case, as it's really pushed for space with the new card at 27cm/11.5". Thinking that my next upgrade will be a white Corsair 600T case and H70 cooler. I still don't trust SSDs enough yet. :P |

As for overclocking the CPU, I'd be looking at one of three options. The Noctua NH-D14 and the Thermalright Silver Arrow are the best air coolers on the market. I've seen both of them support an i7 to 4200MHz. Sadly, neither which are very attractive or compact coolers, the Corsair H70 is an alternative here. |
I have quite a few desktop computers, all are very old (2002 and earlier), here's the one I currently use:

The monitor I'm currently using with this is a Dell LCD/flat-panel with 1280×1024 resolution. Before that I was using an eMachines eView 17f CRT with the video resolution at 1024×768.

You can basically fit the computer or even upgrades you buy into the beat option for what you're willing to pay. Of course, there are better options for each price point, and you have your bang-for-buck components, such as the i5-2300 and 5770/460, but if they're above or below what you you want... Tossing up between a new heatsink, a case or both. It's a shame, because the current top heatsinks, the Silver Arrow and NH-D14 are pretty ugly, where the H70 doesn't cool as well or look great. What's in your current system, twocows? |

not when it comes to a computer who's system breaks down before i put ANYTHING on it. I am NOT kidding. I had the pc, with nothing on it only a few docs i wrote and a couple pieces of art i tried to draw. And it started to mess up. Every anti-virus i would get, would become a virus itself. Everyone knows how crappy Dell computers are (not as bad as acer, but still).

Also, Dell had a mishap in the middle of this decade with a driver and failed to own up and recall all its machines while its competitors were much smarter and chose to recall the machines with the failed driver. Their brand suffered as a result. That doesn't mean new Dells are bad. Their customer support is supposedly among the worst in the industry, though. |

I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14". Took me a while to realise that Lenovo made some of the best laptops available commercially but I'm glad I've caught on. No hassels whatsoever.
A side note to people praising MacBook for it's amazing battery life - you could just buy an extra two batteries or so for a laptop of similar hardware specs that is Windows with the price you put into a MacBook Pro. Furthermore, with the extra two batteries, the total battery life of the other laptop will be lak, orzum. |
Quote:
How something suits your needs should come before price. Quality is up there, too. Sure, the Thinkpads are good quality, but there's a lot of crap out there that's 20% cheaper than the main budget PC brands. That doesn't make it better value. When buying computers (or parts, for that matter), I go for quality and what I WANT first. Specs are one of the later things that I look at, after the price. That said, those ThinkPad Edges are quite nice. If I were to get another Windows laptop, they'd definitely be on my list of possibilities. |
Mine's an old, beat up Sony Vaio. Cost nearly $1500 in 2005 and now I'd be lucky to get $150 for it. Here are its awesome stats:
