    Okay, a 5 year old, IBM Thinkpad Laptop which has crap underneigth the keyboard, crap on the key board, a track point mouse which doesn't work, no graphics card, a CD drive which has major issues, a screen that is half broken (one of the hinges is completely broken), a battery that does not function and a total of 3gb of space, of which only 215mb are free. The only thing that does work the way it's ment to is my Logitech, regular, two button mouse, which requires cleaning every two months because of all the dust/fluff it accumulates from use on the (Kraken) mousepad. I need a new computer. Without a doubt, the next computer I get, which won't be for years to come, will be a Mac, hopefully a G4 or G5 (by the time I get it, they will have G7's or G8's).

    Omfg... You serious? That's exactly like mine.

    Asus A7N8X Deluxe
    1 Gig of Corsair PC4000 Pro
    120 GB Maxtor HD w/ 8 MB Cache
    2 Western Digital 36.7 Raptors on RAID 0
    250 GB Western Digital HD w/ 8 MB Cache
    Creative Labs Audigy 2 Platinum ZS
    TDK 8X DVD+/-RW
    Lite On 52X CD-RW
    Vantec Nexus 301 (Fan Controling ability)
    ATI Radeon 9800XT
    Logitech Cordless MX Duo
    Samsung SyncMaster 231T
    Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 Ultra
    HP Photosmart 7960
    HP LaserJet 1012
    Epson Perfection 3170 Photo
    APC 1500VA UPS
    Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000
    Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick
    Logitech Cordless Rumblepad
    Logitech io Digital Pen and Paper
    Linksys Dual Band 802.11 PCI Card (802.11a b and g)
    MSI TV@nywhere Master (Capture Card)
    Vantec 520W PSU to power this beast
    And to put all of this in a box, I use the Antec SOHO File Server case

    You just stick your finger in the weak sauce and stir it buddy.

    There is no reason to get a 3200. Just get a 3000 or 2500 and OC. I've got my 3000 running at 3700 speeds. Also, that ram you have is useless in that computer, you noob.

    Everything else is nice though. :p

    I'm thinking of changing to two 76.3 Raptors, because I dont need 240 gigs of space.

    ME sucks.

    The "Selfish edition" of windows (cue Agent Smith: "me, me, me") has ravaged a 2 year old 1.3 GB Sony Vaio into a slow, glitchy POS. It it weren't for all of the files I don't have time to backup (just yet) and then reinstall, I'd delete everything and install a different OS.

    ME sucks, and that's all that matters.

    Kai :huey:

    About five-six years now, I think. It was pretty good when my dad bought it. Now it's total crap, but at least it's still working.
  • mantis%s's Photo
    I think this one has a Pentium III which is 800 MHz. Windows 98.

    It crashes quite a lot, and comes up with random errors (spool error? what the fuck's a spool error?) and hangs when i try and shut it down.

    I want one that doesn't break down :( I wish i knew how to get one.

    You don't have enough space to install RCT2. Or enough speed to run it.
    It's so amazing to see people so behind the times.
    Dunno, I am just used to people with amazing computers.
