do yourself a favor and get an SSD truuuuust me they are so gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

[Samapico]

Built mine with parts from newegg.ca

 

 

 

I have a SSD, indeed...

 

And I don't know why, my memory score dropped after I installed the SSD... Pretty sure it was in the 7's. I should have a 6.8 global score

 

AMD Phenom II X6 CPU

2x2GB RAM

60GB OCZ Agility SSD

1TB Western Digital Caviar Black Hard Drive

Radeon 4670

Lenovo widescreen 19" monitor (1440x900)

 

(Not worth upgrading video card until I get a monitor with more resolution)

[Dr Brain]

 

I only have two monitors, after my third broke. I've been waiting for a killer deal on monitors so I can go back.

my computer was built long ago out of wood by jesus

 

it has an epic 512mb of ram with its pentium 3 and new hi tech wireless paperclip internet

[espo]

I have a hacked non validated bastard version of windows 7 on a POS Sony/virus infected laptop that wont even run javascript or load a pdf without freezing my shit up asking me to buy some Adobe software. Edited December 18, 2010 by eSpO~

Custom modded Cooler Master Storm Scout with wire holes and some other crap.

 

I'm not really into pc modding anymore but I was a bit of a fanatic about a year ago

 

Edit: Running W7 Ultimate 64 bit of course

 

Edit2 : if you are building a new system or upgrading one, NEVER EVER NEVER EVER EVER buy an ATI card. Just a good rule of thumb. nVidia cards will last longer, overclock better, run cooler, are more reliable, cost less, have more convenient features, better driver support, and better tech support on the nVidia forums. Also more driver updates etc. ATI might have the best card on the market for a given time but beyond that you won't get much out of them. Again NEVER BUY AN ATI CARD OR A MACHINE WITH AN ATI CARD you will have headache after headache with driver issues and you will get more BS than you could ever imagine. Good f***ing luck with linux support that's hit or miss too!

[Dr Brain]

Yeah, you're totally wrong op2rules. The cards vary far more from model-to-model than company-to-company. Also, Nvidia has better Linux support than AMD/ATI, historically (I've heard that AMD has gotten better about it lately).

I keep mine in KeePass under a 512-bit encrypted database that requires a master password and a 256-bit key.

[»Blocks]

mr.ez.noob, that is easily the sweetest setup of anybody I've seen on Continuum.

 

I use KeePass too, but I don't bit-brag about it.

[kid]

I've got a Macbook Pro and a dated gaming computer I built a few years back.

I HAD the new macbook pro w/ the intel core i7 processor, hyper threading, integrated memory handler, and the sweet NVDIA 3d Graphics Card, but some guy had the balls to break into my mom's appartment to take it. Good thing I still have warranty :<. But atm, I'm using my older macbook pro, the one that is smaller than 17in. i dunno wtf it is.

new card is in and score updated.

 

apparently my HDD sucks but the system goes like hell so I am not too bothered atm.

[»SD>Big]

if you can afford it, grab an SSD, doesn't have to be large, 40gb, and use it as your main drive for installing your OS and apps like word processing and such and have whichever drive you have now as your data drive for music, pictures, videos etc. you'll be amazed !!!

 

but do a lot of research if you do, there are a lot of crappy SSDs out there!

[Samapico]

WEI won't give more than 5.9 unless you have a SSD... not even sure if a 10k RPM drive gives more than 5.9...

[Dr Brain]

Probably because a 10kRPM drive isn't much better than any other magnetic drive.

 

A solid state drive does make quite a difference in loading programs. I have a 120GB one in both my home and work computers. If I used my laptop more frequently, I'd buy one for it too.
