comp specs

All you guys suck.

pffft, a designer forum and nobody has a Mac. pfft i say, pfft..

Well all except for me of course. I only have a G3, but my iMac is coming....*drool*

Pentium III @ 500 mhz.
256 MB SDRAM
17" ViewSonic CRT
I honestly don't know what my viedo card is.

Amen, if you are going buy a PC and want any type of performance at all, for goodness sakes, do not buy a compaq.

Also like somone else said, don't get the MX cards. They are watered down and weak. The GeForce 4 MX is probably no faster than a slower model GeForce 2.

You can most likely get a much better deal at a custom pc builder, such as www.alienware.com www.ibuypower.com www.geekgeek.com www.falcon-nw.com www.hypersonpc.com or someplace like that. They use top-quality parts, instead of the OEM crap that Compaq uses. Definitely the way to go.

hey cybling - I got a G3 - and ordered my new G4 this morning, right after my first post in this thread - you're not alone!!

doh i messed up i meant to post a new thread

yea my friend told me i could just buy the parts myself and put it together for like 713 w/ S&H from newegg, but i'll check those links too. thanks
what's wrong w/ compaq now that they're w/ HP kekeke

P4 - 1.8 GHz
on XP Pro

512 MB DDR SDRAM
32 MB Nvida TNT2 Video
120 GB Ultra Dma 7200 RPM Hard Drive

DVD ROM/ CDRW ROM

Usual other stuff...

Wow, how much are getting from these ads?

:D

only one of those sites i got to around a level i think i can spend is the ibuypower...but is this a reputable company? i've heard of them all except this one and geekgeek

I think PCGamer just reviewed an iBuypower system... and it was good.

HP is no better than Compaq. You won't get a high-performance system from any of the major manufacturers. I mean they might be fast, but compared to a similar system from any of the companies above, it will be trash.
