Talk about your set up that you use to do most of your "webmaster" work!

**John** · 06-26-2006, 10:06 AM

Intel Mobo, Socket 775, 800 mhz FSB PCI Express
P4 3.6 HT overclocked to about 3.8
4 GB PC4200 DDR2 RAM
200GB and 60GB Western HDD's in Raid Array 0
2 XFX GeForce 7900GT's, 256mb GDDR3 PCI Express video cards SLI'd together
Thermaltake Big Water Internal Liquid Cooling system on both the CPU & GPU's

DVI out to a 30" HiDev LCD TV :tongue_smilie:

(I used to do alot of online gaming, but now do alot of design work within CS2 and Flash...also some 3D modeling, so the video cards and cooling help alot)

hehe...more in the LCD TV than the box. Probably about 2K in the computer and a little more than that in the TV (bought year and a half ago when prices were higher

)

I dont remembe what my computer has. I got it a year ago and I know it has more than a 3 gig processor and a ton of memory. I dont build computers, but when I buy then, I basically go to the expensive section and opt for the one with the most bells and whistles.

Best Buy really loves me because they know when I walk in to buy something big, they have a "sucker" in their grasp, LOL. I pick out my computer and they take it up to the set up center where I immediately tell them to keep it and immediately upgrade it with as much memory as their are slots for.

I have a powerbook g4 20'. It took me a while to save up for, but i like the computer a lot. Now that I look back on the purchase, I probably would be more efficent with an Imac.

I would share mine, but they're horrible. I plan on buying a new decent PC in roughly a month. I need it pretty bad.

**Karl89.co.uk** · 06-30-2006, 03:49 PM

Mine's awful as well, been saving up quite a lot recently, going to be spending about £1500 on a desktop and about the same on a mac book or a mac book pro.

**imported_Ack** · 06-30-2006, 03:57 PM

Pentium 4 - 3.2 HT
2 GB RAM
2x 250 GB SATA HD in RAID0 Array

Fits my requirements perfectly -- Big display workspace and no waiting for things to load.

**Gareth** · 07-01-2006, 09:11 AM

- Dual XEON 2.8GHz Hyper-Threading Processors

512 ram
60 gig 7200 rpm hd
ati radeon 9700 mobility
15,4 inch widescreen

**sp0om** · 07-05-2006, 05:38 PM

AMD 2600 stock
Radeon 9800 pro
768mb PC 2700

I reformat it constantly and only install what I need. It's over 4 years and runs like new. I think I could keep it for another 4 years.

**Samir** · 07-06-2006, 03:04 AM

My main system is an AMD based system a friend of mine built a few years ago. It's still pretty quick. Most of my other systems are pretty slow, some being only Pentium Pro class machines running 95. :helpsmilie:

Now as far as Internet connection, that's were it's at--3 cable modems, each with 8mb/512k. All combined using a Linksys rv016 router for 24mb/1.5mb on any system on the network. :drool:

**ltn1dr** · 07-06-2006, 02:11 PM

Ehh, I do everything from my laptop.

1.73GHZ, 1.25gb RAM, 80gb HD + 300gb External, DVD+-R and external DVD RAM

Dual monitors (2nd is 15in LCD)

I should get a picture of my setup somewhere.

**imported_Shan** · 07-06-2006, 06:03 PM

I have a Compaq Presario 5180US. It has 128 MB RAM, 1.2 Ghz AMD Athlon Processor, and Windows ME. Yes, I know, this is the worst computer EVER. I'm planning on getting a new computer soon. Windows ME is the most unstable OS ever! I've been living with it for 4 years now, and the computer has crashed billions of times. I've learned to create backups of my important documents regularly.

Hehe, get a new comp ASAP and deduct it as a business expense. I just made my partner buy a new desktop computer.

I am currently on a HP Pavilion zd8400 and I souped it up a bit.

I am on a 3.60 GHZ Intel P4 Processor with H\T Technology and Intel Speedstep, I use an extra cooler to cool the processor so that it doesn't get hot.

I have 2 gigs of RAM.

I have a 256 MB ATI Radeon x800 I believe although it isn't the most powerful it can play any top of the line game to date.

The laptop has a beautiful 17 inch High Definition Brightview Widescreen.

It uses Altec Lansing speakers and I have a subwoofer since I am very into Music.

I can watch TV on it from an external tuner and it has 200 GB of hard drive space.

Not bad for a notebook and it does the job for me.
