Here I'll post a pic from Everest

Well I got my newer computer and it has a 20 gig Quantum Fireball kt15 hard drive and found nothing on Google or Yahoo search engines. I want to know the specs on it.

Well I finally got a newer computer,used but much better then what I had,although I so hate Compaq computers cause there is no jumpers at all on the mobo to overclock the biatch. But I'm happy with it. Talked the guy down from $180 to $125... that's Canadian money.

I finally found a great glass version for Style XP,comes with thin and normal toolbar sizes. Just go here http://www.winmodify.net/files.php?section=Visualstyles&page=6and make an account,then download XPGlass Ver 2.10,no spyware or trojans or viruses.. What it looks like

Is that for Linux?,if so I can't use it.

Well here is my download test :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 2502 Kbps about 2.5 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 305 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (main) Test Time:: 2006/03/28 - 12:36am Bottom Line:: 45X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 3.36 sec Tested from a 12160 kB file and took 39.817 seconds to complete Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Maxthon) Diagnosis: Looks Great : 11.6 % faster than the average for host (teksavvy.com) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-ROJXI2AP7 But for some reason,my upload is coming up to 50kb/s,when it usually is 72 to 75kb/s

That's no problem Cableguy,but you're right, I can get a 30gig hard drive for $50 ...but the peformance would be the same is what I have now, cause the mobo only runs at ATA33... which this drive is already running at ATA33 5400rpms

,maybe I'm not sure,I'd have to dig through my closet I know I have a Toshiba laptop in there that was a 286.... thing weighed a ton... I don't remember what else was inside it as memory and such, it had Windows 3.11 though.

I got a question,in Win XP if you right click on your hard drive, you have 2 options....1 is the fast indexing, the other is hard drive compression..... with a 3gig hard drive,how much would I gain in space, and does it slow down the hard drive read/write 's ??? Edit: NVM, I found my answers,should of Googled it first b4 asking,so plz delete post. Thanks.

Advertised 3/800

Yeah I know ,takes 5 min to load XP .... but unlike Win98se when I would get the dreaded "Out of Memory" screen and had to reboot every 6 hrs... I can run XP for 6 days without any problems, so it may take longer to load, but I can run much longer on it.... much better memory mangement in XP.

I have the exact same thing, , I use to play choplifter on it. Awesome game btw.

Hey I got a Maxtor 7420AV hard drive I got right beside me, only 420meg capacity, 986 cyl,16hds,52sec, Manufacture date:11-19-94

AH ok thanks, I think I'll edit my post

Yeah I gotcha beat here, and I still have a P90 and a 486 dx2/66 sitting in my appartment,

No I didn't get it, and not because I didn't want to, just my parents are broke and can't help out. So I'm stuck with this hell of a beast ultra stank of a machine til dooms day. And besides this computer was on ebay... and in the last 2hrs it went from 230 to 467. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Amd-Athalon-XP-2800-Gamer-PC_W0QQitemZ8778177346QQcategoryZ51144QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ShippingPayment

Okay,right now most of you know I'm running on a P 2 300mhz computer, and well I don't make alot of money,but want a newer computer then what I have right now. I'm hoping my dad won't be a scrooge and actually get me a computer for my b-day coming up in 13 days.... and I found this computer for sale for $230 Canadian ... I'll list what it has and you can give input for me if it's a good deal or not... btw the shiping is FREE. Microstar MS-6330 Athalon XP 2800 Thoroughbred 333 fsb case with 450watt pwr supply 1.5gb SDRAM PC133 cas 3 200gb HDD--1 40gb 1 160gb DVD/RW drive DVDROM/CDRW drive 256 geforce fx5700 tv-tuner card nic/modem/sound/floppy drive-

Once in awhile I like to go back to the good old days and dust off the keyboard and play on the Commodore vic 20, with the good ol tape drive.

Yeah I'll have to ring em up tomorrow, since it's not 24/7 tech support.

Same place yes, but same isp no .. it is a different isp ..... but I got to say those are bad ping times, just to the first hop is 59ms .... my other isp and dns I used was much quicker.... the first hop to piero.pppoe.ca, is what is slow .... is there a way to change the first hop to another place? Still haven't been able to find a DNS server in Montreal,Canada... it would be sweet though.... I was told usually colleges and schools are given there own dns. But I believe it may be rumor.

Back in the day when I was using Win98se, I had a dns that gave me ping times of 14ms ... now I try it on Win XP sp2 and can't get under 90ms. And my first hop always goes to the same place even if I change DNS, so I'm thinking maybe I'm not doing it right, can anyone help me out? at this time I think I'm using dns servers 4.2.2.5 and 4.2.2.6 , here is my result for ping and tracert. My ISP is teksavvy, a 3/800 package.

I'll give it a try... but it's not possible for me to go to 100fsb, due to the fact that the only jumper settings are 66,75 and 83. Thanks

I don't remember the errors,I never wrote them down... but basically saying if you installed new hardware,please remove it, system cannot load.... as for the Bios it's the newest one, and no it's not a dual boot. I figured that it might be because the data was written at the 75 * 4.5 originally, and if I set it to 83 * 4 , that the memory is going to fast for the data written on the disk... and my memory is pc100's inside.

Ok I have an old computer using an ASUS mobo, the usual speed is P2 300mhz, I overclocked it to 337 with fsb at 75 * 4.5 cpu ....and formated my hard drive and installed Win XP and have no problems.... now when I changed my settings to 83fsb * 4 cpu =332 ... which we all know will work better cause the faster the memory the better it is. Well I put it to those settings the system works fine and doesn't lock up.... but when my win xp loads, I get errors. my question is that if I reformated my hard drive at the 83* 4 cpu settings would it resolve the problem or is the fsb running to fast for the IDE port to the hard drive?
