What computer did we start off with here??


IVIYTH0S

Recommended Posts

when i joined i was using:

2001 dell inspiron 8000 notebook

p3-750

32mb ati moility rage 3d.

8 lbs. and 14 inches of fast depreciation.

i spent the extra money on the swappable 3.5" disk/zipdrive disk bay devices. i thought it was worthwhile then.

 

but i used this place to build a XPm2500+ that eventually ran at 2610mhz. on water. i still have that swiftech socket-A waterblock if anyone wants it. such a good knowledge base.

Opened up my first PC over the weekend. What a dust collector....

 

Dell something:

Pentium III 800Mhz

600~Mb RAM

NVidia GeForce 4 series graphics

Stock Dell case with 1 (!) 92mm fan fitted over an 80mm hole with a duct over it so it only cooled the CPU...

EXTREMELY loud Foxconn PSU

 

Thank God I don't have to use that again...

well when i joined, which was only 2 years ago.. it was pretty much my first true "meant to be oc'd" build

before that i never had a GPU powerhouse, just relied on data crunching and net bandwith, security boxes

 

 

it was a q6600, evga 780i, 2x2gb ballistix, gtx 260, 2tb, custom watercool

 

that computer & the knowledge i have learned from this website, and from the members here turned that computer into the only true computer ive bragged about..

 

i love you guys. this website has single handed changed my entire spectrum on how i enjoy/feel about computers!

gave me a positive track for me to use my abilities torwards and in a way helped me with my life a tad

E6600, 4GB Kingston Hyper-X DDR-800, Asus P5WDH-Deluxe, 8800GTS 896MB, Vista Ultimate 32bit

 

I remember coming here looking for OC help. Ended up getting to 3 GHZ.

 

That system is still running strong at my parents house.

Lets see if I can remember

Pentium 4 Prescott(aka pressure cooker) 3.00gHz overclocked it to 3.6gHz

Asus P4S800D-X had some SIS chipset which wasn't half bad for ocing except I had no voltage control.

400W Antec True Power

ATi (a BB ATi card at that) X1650 Pro 512mb

2gb PC3200 ram dual channel I think not sure if that was on skt 478.

Had some Zalman heatsink forget model.
