Anyway my Bird is a hellva lot faster than my computer. I put it together the year(2000) after I built the Bird.

Re: How fast is your computer? Reply #18 – October 20, 2004, 03:19:54 AM 1700+ tbredA (not overclocked as much as I used to), 1GB hyperx pc3500, ti4200(no longer running at 315/650 though its was stable up to 315/710), 160GB and 40GB harddrives, XP Pro on original installationThat's all that really matters in computers now. Case has a car-like finish but I try to hide the window the case came with. Its near impossible to get cases now without huge holes in the side. The system's about 2 years old and beginning to show its age. It once was near top of the line along with the watercooling setup it once ran. Now I don't care because 1) I quit playing competitive FPS games and such 5 years ago when they went downhill and 2) it seems that computers no longer double in speed every 18 months. 2 years ago Intel released its 3.06GHz processor and look where they're at now. Their 3.6GHz processor is far from double the clock speed or processing power. Decreasing transistor size doesn't do as much as it used to in the days of .25 -> .18 micron. Dual core processors should be the next big thing and even then, I doubt the speeds will ramp up. Anyways, yeah. I could use an upgrade about now to a 3500+/MHz processor and a newer videocard but they'll have to wait until next year Quote Selected
