/me wishes
On top of getting sick again, I think both of our desktops
are in deep doo-doo. The oldest, which is now Ross', is now
in the throes of trying to win the "I've got the slowest processor
in all of Computer Land" Contest.
That shitbox has *nothing* loaded- just the OS and Norton's.
I check that mofo every day for spyware, adware, and viruses,
and nada.
I as much told Ross tonight to just leave it be and use mine,
and I'll stay on this laptop. Last night late I was trying to read the
groups from my desktop, and no go at all. Tried to send myself
some mail (with graphic attachments I wanted to share) and no go.
Even after rebooting mucho.
And then tonight Ross hits me up for some spun sugar dessert
toppers and some bi-color chocolate medallions for a customer
he's helping tomorrow at lunch time.
It was a nice change of pace, but that stuff takes time.
It's like my friend Roseann Rosanna Danna says: "It's always
something!"

I've seen some pretty slow machines people are hobbling along on. My
advice to them is: If it does what you want and need it to do, then
there is no need to upgrade. But if it's frustrating and slow and not
a joy to work with, bite the bullet, and dive in with two fistfulls of
cash and land the most loaded machine you can afford.

Could just be old and tired. I'd like to see benchmark proof, but it
certainly seems these machines get slower with age.

Sounds like kernel cancer to me. Windows really is famous for doing that.

This is supposed to be our slow time, before schols reopen
and the bluehairs return for the winter, but it's not slowing up like
it used to. It's a good sign for the coming year, but Ross isn't
getting the rest he needs.

Yeah, I'm bracing him for the inevitable. One day I'll just get in
the truck and return with my newest geek toy and he'll get another
hand-me-down. LOL

Here's what I just assembled:
http://matureasskickers.net/wbb2/th...p?threadid=9214
I'm taking it to work today to use it as a Firewire sniffer, so I'm hoping
to take some photos then. It's kind of a drab case but super-light and very
easy to work in.

An Athlon 64 3000+, a GF 6800GT, and a gig of ram just for sniffer? I think
you have ulterior motives.

I'm digging that mobo. Sports an Nvidia chipset. Niiiiiiiiiiiice.....
<sing-songs> "I know what that's for! I know what that's for!"
Okay, so I came to my senses, and realized that my next desktop
is going to be custom assembled by me. Do I start with the case or
the mobo?
There's no way I have the extra propeller blade to match up a
mobo with a chipset, so I'll have to buy a combo unit.
Here's what I want: (all minimum specs)
A *purple* case to hold:
A 2Ghz processor
512MB RAM
2 AGP slots
3 PCI slots
6 USB ports
The Usual Other Bells & Whistles (like the power supply, etc.)
I'm ready to start. Help me find my first component.
Or would you guys rather I just buy off-the-shelf and paint
the new case purple and save everyone in here many headaches?
:ož

You'll be happier with a gig, and I'm planning to put a 2nd in mine as
Battlefield 2 is a real memory pig when you have the textures turned up.
Modern chipsets can read from two DIMM's at the same time ("dual
channel"), so buy the memory in pairs.
quote:
> 2 AGP slots
Why? All the modern video cards are going PCI-Express (PCIE). PCIE comes
in different speeds, and my mobo has several varieties of them. The
nVidia 6800 GT is PCIE 4x, and my mobo has a single 4x slot.
quote:
> 3 PCI slots
And what goes in those? (But it's a good idea to have some, as I found
out, as the special Firewire card I needed was PCI.)
quote:
> 6 USB ports
Handy, but note that you want some on the front for things you don't
always have plugged in, like those little Flash dongles.
quote:
> The Usual Other Bells & Whistles (like the power supply, etc.)
I'm real happy with the OCZ Modstream. The drive cables can be removed,
so you don't have to clutter your case with the ones you don't need. And
it's got a pretty blue light inside. ;)

I have given it a good workout with BF2 (and discovered I need another gig
of memory to make it work well), but I really wanted the 64-bit CPU for
some Linux game development. (I'm on the RenWerX project.) I've now got it
configured for triple-boot: WinXP64, Fedora Core 4 i386, and FC4 x86_64.
BTW, the sniffer app was missing the function I needed, so I added the code
and I think I found the customer's problem.
