To our members and guest, feel free to inform the board on the PC\MAC your using.
Do tell us on whether your using an OEM machine (manufacturer and OS) or if you assembled your own PC on your own (OS an retail etc.) . Follow that up with all your hardware, hardware specs and your main purpose for your PC, ie. gaming, networking, etc..

Only one word I can use to describe that, and I'm sorry but I don't think we have any kids too young on the fourm, but I just took a look at that and said "Fuck."

My 3 PC's have all been given to me as faulty......i repaired them and use this one, the others are spares in case this one crashes. they are all pretty normal specs and this is the biggest h/d, 80gig, i don't need any more, as i only use about a third. i have a genuine xp home O/S.
the last thing i bought was a 80gig h/d Sata instead of Ide.....just my latest cock up....he he he.

Jeez you guys make me jealous!!!! :o :o :'(

Size isnt everything. I am downstairs on my old HP 1.3ghz 40 gb 256ram ATI 9550 GRAPHICS and still able to download at 1-1.2mb (10mb broadband}.
Upstairs in the finishing process is a pentium 4 3.0ghz HT Win XP Home. Abit n18 sli mobo pci-express. 2x1gb corsair mem cardsDDR2 . Gainward overclocked 6800 gr 512mb pci-e card(soon to be 2) psu 500w soon to be updated.
The Mobo can take up to 8gb ram but that at the moment is frightening. Getting speed tests up to 9,400 at present and this is more than enough for me, Graphic are excellent and downloads are a blink.
I still feel more comfortable on this older unit

Pentium D is crap to both AMD X2 and Core 2 Duo. Wait for Core 2 Duo to come out if you want to go that way, they make the entire Pentium D line obsolete.

I thought Pentium D is Core Duo..? So core duo haven't released yet?
-
They are both duo core Weera. I think what Quantum is trying to say is that the entry level AMD 3800+ does a better job than Intel using 800 series chips. The 3800 is more suitable for quiet office use than the AMD 4800+.
The AMD units are more expensive to buy and use less power than Intel ie.89w for the 3800 to 130w for the pentium D.
Intel duo core are more suited to newer mo-bo`s and the 900 series chipsets. Unless you are a constant pc updater just to be in fashion, take your time and read the reviews. A good quality single PCI-E card on a newer mo-bo and 2 gb ram is more than enough . Dont spend your money until you are sure what you want and wait till the prices come down.(as they always do)
cheers

All my PC's have donked out.....one has a CPU burnout..i think, one has a blown motherboard....i think, and one has a root file missing 'NTLDR' and wont boot. so i'm using a borrowed PC with ME on,two tiny h/drives, no internet security......i'm trying to put a 40gig hard drive on as slave but the bloody PC won.t find it to format.....so i won't be on much guys until i get a new PC that has fallen off the back of a lorry ;)

you'll have to get tex to come and round and sort them out for you. he's gotten very knowledgeable on these things recently :o
for the PC with a file missing, if you've got an XP disk somewhere you should be able to boot of that, or at least reformat the computer

Tex is learning the hard way, the internet helps a lot and I now have more friends who dabble in pc builds. ;D
Billy, Off the top of my head I would say that a 40 gig drive would be too much for your Mo-bo. I still have an old Win98 in the attic which only had a 4gb hd and was advised that probabably the most I could add would be 10gb .If your running an old me mo-bo then 40gb may not be compatible with your system. Stop drinking Boddies for a week and buy a new one, or better still start from scratch and build your own ::)

That's simple Billy your BIOS does not recognize the drive, perhaps you can look at the following links to make adjustments on an older PC.
http://www.unicore.com/ (http://www.unicore.com/)
Then follow the country support. Me it would be as follows;
http://www.unicore.com/home.cfm (http://www.unicore.com/home.cfm)
http://www.unicore.com/biosupgrades/ (http://www.unicore.com/biosupgrades/)
http://www.unicore.com/biosagent/ (http://www.unicore.com/biosagent/)
...and that's all I can write (type) for now to upgrade your systems BIOS Billy.

l've got three h/dv's Dinner 40gig, 60gig and 80gig, the 40gig has got ME on it, that is the one l'm using now. funny thing is, when i look at this h/d in my computer its showing 1.99gig (no lt's not a typo it is that small) where it should be showing 40gig....l been into bios to try to make it see the drive but it still comes back as 1.99 gig ??? l can't put any security on because it says theres no room.
the other two drives have a bad fault on them. when i fit them on here they wont boot..(ntldr is missing) l supposedly formatted the 60 gig but it still says ntldr is missing.....l haven't touched the 80gig drive because all my stuff is on there including my porn ;)
l'm hoping when i get a pc sorted to put that on as slave and save all my stuff.
l tried to sort them with my xp cd in repair but it wont repair them it freezes halfway through.......l can't do too much to this pc because its borrowed.
l've asked both Kyo and Tex to lend me £500 to buy a new pc.......but have not had a reply as yet :'(

Sounds good Chip.
Was reading reviews and noticed that Intel was prefered over AMD on the duo core.
Its long but this a little bit of extra info.
Boasting a slick new look and an array of multimedia features, the HP Pavilion dv 2000z is a traveling entertainment center that is sure to turn heads. However, we strongly suggest skipping the AMD verison of this system in favor of the Intel-powered dv 2000t, which offers faster dual-core performance along with nearly an hour more of battery life.
Weighing 5.3 pounds and measuring just one-inch thick, this HP dv2000z is decked out in HP’s new Imprint finish, featuring a high gloss piano-black lid and a shiny silver-and-black keyboard. Both the interior and exterior sport an intricate embedded wave pattern. The exterior finish is gorgeous, but be forewarned: Fingerprint smudges will stick out like a sore thumb.
Adding to the HP dv2000z’s exotic look is a series of blue backlit indicator lights and soft-touch multimedia player control buttons, including the scrolling volume control positioned along the top of the keyboard just beneath the integrated Altec Lansing speakers. You won’t get outstanding audio quality out of them, but the speakers are good enough to handle everyday multimedia output. The touch pad controller maintains the same aspect ratio as the screen and is comfortably positioned close to the keyboard.
The HP dv2000z’s 14.1-inch widescreen display with HP’s BrightView technology and a resolution of 1280 x 800 delivers a crisp picture, vivid colors, and a great horizontal viewing angle, making it ideal for viewing DVD movies. Dual headphone jacks are mounted on the front of the HP dv 2000 z, so you can share movies and music without disturbing those around you—a nice touch. Here you’ll also find a microphone jack, an IR window, and a wireless on/off switch.
You can view movies and photos and play audio tracks without booting up Windows, thanks to HP’s QuickPlay 2.1 software. Control the action using a credit card–sized remote, which is easily stored in the ExpressCard slot.
An embedded 1.3-megapixel webcam is joined by two tiny microphones along the display’s upper bezel, enabling quick and easy videoconferencing and Web chat sessions. Left-side ports include S-Video and VGA outputs, Ethernet, USB, and FireWire ports, a 5-in-1 memory card reader, an expansion port 3 slot, and an ExpressCard/54 slot. A dual-layer recordable DVD drive, two USB ports, modem, and power jacks are located on the right. The optical drive is a LightScribe drive, which means you can create laser-etched CD and DVD labels using specially coated LightScribe media.
The dv2000z uses AMD’s Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-52 processor, which runs at 1.6-GHz and has 512KB of level 2 cache. You can also get an Intel-based model, the dv2000t, for abut $20 more at the starting price. Our review model came maxed out with 2GB of memory and contained a 5,400-rpm 100GB hard drive, but you can upgrade to a 120GB drive with the dv2000t if you’re a storage hound.
This HP dv2000z won’t dazzle you with stellar performance, as evidenced by its MobileMark 2005 score of 177. The Intel-powered HP dv2000t, powered by a 2.0-GHz Core Duo CPU, turned in a much better score of 221. The Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 video card with 256MB of memory yielded a 3DMark03 score of 1,140, which is about average for a midlevel controller, and as such is not the best choice for gaming enthusiasts. The Intel version of this notebook didn’t fare much better, scoring 1,465.
A battery rating of 2 hours and 26 minutes for the HP dv2000z fell short of our expectations, whereas the HP dv2000t lasted a much better 3 hours and 21 minutes, even with its higher clock speed.
HP preloads a generous helping of home productivity and entertainment software on the Pavilion, including its Photosmart Premiere program, lots of Wild Tangent games, Sonic recording software, muvee AutoProducer, Microsoft Works and Money, and Quicken New User Edition.
The HP dv2000z is covered by a one-year warranty that includes parts, labor, and 24/7 toll-free telephone support. Two- and three-year extensions, ranging in price from $99 to $349 are also available at the time of purchase.
If you’re looking for a middleweight notebook with eye-catching looks and a slew of entertainment features and software, the HP Pavilion dv2000z will fill the bill. But we like the dv2000t better.
Pros
Slick design
Bright widescreen display
Remote control included
1.3-MP webcam
Cons
Mediocre productivity performance
Below-average battery life

Yeah, its been getting really good reviews.... except that review above was based on the "Core Duo"... and the one I ordered has the brand new "Core 2 Duo" cpu, which is 64bit, and blows away both the AMD's top of the line and the regular Intel Core Duo... if you're thinking about getting a new laptop, definately check out the dv2000t w/ Core 2 duo and the upgraded 12cell battery for 6-8 hours of usage.. perfect for school or on the road..

Still, It`s a lot of money for a mainline mass produced laptop which in 3 months time will still be satisfactory but much cheaper.
PC`s/ Mobile phones, we think we have what we want until the next model comes out.lol

Hi.. well as you all know.. i am a user and not much about the inner working however i can help to pull them apart and put back together.. and also find the screws that fall around the floor... LOL..
I just wanted to share the fact with you that i purchased a new keyboard this week... and its the most wonderful and brilliant keyboard i have ever had.. even little blue back lights.. amazing.
Its a Saitek Eclipse.. and for anyone who is a fast typist.. you will understand why i am so rapt.. its actually made for speed typing.. every key is sprung, and its so smooth and quiet..
I was a little apprehensive to purchase at first because of the design.. mainly the little bits of extra on the corners.. however.. once using it i was amazed. Umm.. as for the other stuff... well i have a 21" monitor.. and the rest is basically archaic.. until I decide to spend some money to upgrade it more.. then i will let you know what i replace everything with.. mind you.. i won't have a clue, but I am sure you guys will.... cheers ::)

Hey cissie is it a scissor cut keyboard?
I bought one quite some time ago and found the ease and speed of my typing improved significantly, never looked back. Since then I've noticed an increasing amount of the professional designed keyboards are now scissor cut.

Well.. i am lost as to what scissor cut means..just know that the ones who have tried this keyboard had tried scissor cut and others in their reports, and came up with this one being the better of them all... i love it.. looks cool... and love the little blue back lights.. but the best is that each key no matter where pressed will work... so much better than the useless thing i have at work.. you have to really push each key down for it to work.. very frustrating.

:), that's nice, I looked up the product and I've seen it before. It's not scissor cut, which is a bit of a shame, I think I'll stick with my Samsung PleoMax ZEN Edition.
However I was looking to buy that keyboard (but with RED LED lights) for a Birthday present for a girl I know (I accidentally split some wine over her old keyboard and she is still using it with a pink stain on it...). She's a bit of a goth girl and likes black and red things, so it looked like a fairly good buy and a very nice keyboard.

oh ok... when you have been typing as long as i have then you go for the smoothness and i am more than pleased.. have always typed over 85wpm... there was a time when it was more, but have slowed down over the years.. i won't tell you for how many years i have been typing but i am sure you were not even born when i started hehehehe... and those speeds i first did on a typewriter.. and you had to manually use the carriage return... so yes. i am very proud of my speed.. another thing which was good was that we picked this keyboard up in oz on special for the same price as what the US was.. when that happens we think ourselves very lucky.. usually retails for $99 here... and we got them for $68... US price was also $60...so we were very lucky this time... we just picked up another 21" monitor as well... but you would not like what we use.. my partner prefers the old style ones Sony Trinitron CTR because of the graphics and the close up work he needs these, as the LCD are C*** compared with these babies.. everyone needs what they do for their own specific reasons.. a little why some people are at a loss at to why he needs 1 TB of HD, but there you go.. I am trying to get him to add some stuff in here however he is not a forum type of person, excepting for one where he has made some great free data bases...for the taking.. i will try to get a link and post it somewhere in here.. if your into music and categorising it you will love it.. so far over 5000 people have uploaded it and are more than pleased.

I put mine together about a year ago now, little has changed to it, I got:
MSI mobo nForce 4
AMD Athlon X2 3800+
2 x 1 GB DDR 400
Geforce 6600
200 GB Maxtor HDD
250 GB Samsung HDD
19" CRT Monitor
I'm saving up to massively upgrade some time March - July 2007, looking at getting 2 x Quad Core CPU and 2 x GPU with 8 GB+ Ram.
my partner looked at this one of yours and said you must love playing games.. is this right.. hehe...
Had it assembled:
Windows XP Pro
2 CD/DVD+RW drives
160 GB hard drive
160 GB external hard drive
AMD Athlon 64 Duel Core 3800+
2 GeForce 7600 GT videocards
2 GB ram
New monitor, speakers, and wireless mouse, keyboard, and media remote.
and a lot more
I use it mostly for music, gaming, and programming.
Reeaaally nice computer. ;D
He also asks does it work well with 2 videocards in the machine.. ??

Yep I love my games :D, although my goals have changed a bit since I posted that. Looking now at buying a new computer July - October, 1 x Native Quad Core CPU (none of this current Intel nonsense, and I was much unimpressed by AMDs 4x4 performance benefits), I might get a 2nd GPU, but if so, only a cheap one to output to a 3rd screen (2 Monitors and T.V in some configuration).
I was hoping some new monitor display technology would be coming out in 2007, but it really doesn't look like it :(. Was hoping that SEDs would see their way out of the courtrooms. CRTs are almost nowhere to be found anymore and I still don't like the image quality that even high end LCDs produce. But I did want a widescreen and I don't know any other way to get one, hopefully LCDs will make a few jumps in picture quality over 2007.
Anyway a scissor cut keyboard has the style of laptop keys, where they are much lower down, however you don't get that same uncomfortable feeling from laptops because they keys aren't bunched together. A lot of people seem to be reluctant to try them, but I know once most people have they really like them, I know even a lot of professional gamers only choose them because of the increased response time that you get from the keys.

@Quantum
I understand your concerns about LCD image quality, but have you seen the new 120Hz LCD displays?
They are quite amazing. All that motion blur is gone.
-
The biggest problem with LCD monitors for our work is its ability to adapt to various resolutions.. the ability you talk about is fine for fast gaming but for our use the CTR is a much better and more refined monitor. :)

Also when watching movie files, LCDs promote "blockyness", I watch stuff on my CRT on youtube and it can look o.k quality, when I watch it on my family's nice LCD monitor it appears to be much worse quality.

@cissie
I don't understand what you mean by "our work" and "our use".
I deal with mostly text all day, something I have never seen look better than on a LCD at native resolution.
@Quantum
I don't know what you mean by "blockiness".
If you mean the artifacts from slow pixel colour changes, then that is exactly what a 120Hz LCD display addresses.

zooming in multi resolutions.. the LCD doesn't cut it like an ordinary one.. or an old one if you like.
Anyway.. i got a new pc today... *cissie does a dance*... yay... built it..
i now have a 3800 processor, 1 gig memory dual channel, i was gonna say it had twin carbies on it, but forget its not a car.. hehe new harddrive, don't know anything about it, new motherboard and other stuff.. anyway.. its so fast.. don't have time to make a coffee when i turn it on now, and i can do loads more stuff all at the same time.. as you can see i am hopeless when it comes to naming stuff.. but i like my new pc.. oh and a nice new box to put it all in.. hehe... helps when you get it all for wholesale.. YES!!!!

...well you could either build an entire 3D rendering engine in a GPGPU language and run it off a graphics card at super speeds, or upgrade to a high end core 2 quad core. The best in graphs at the moment is the 8800GTX. All that said, new CPUs and GPUs likely to come out by the end of the year from AMD, Intel and nVidia, so the whole marke will have changed by then.
Anyway, just put a computer together for my mums boyfriend.
AMD Athlon 4000+ X2, OC @ 2.4 GHz
2 GB DDRII 800Mhz (4-4-4-12) RAM
ATi HD 2600 XT (still working on over clocking it)
Gigabyte Mobo, nForce 570 Chipset
It runs fast and smooth, but I am struggling with driver for the 2600, the ATi Catalyst won't load probabily, anyway, going through their support issues, bit by bit.

just bought a macbook pro. its the 17inch 1920 x1200 widescreen (matte finish) w 2gb ram and a 160 7200 rpm HDD and core 2 duo.
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html
its nice too because it has an illuminated keyboard and its just designed so much more well than my old sony vaio which was just completely falling apart.
anyone think this was a good decision? also im going to use bootcamp to run windows for some programs i use that require it...ive used xp mce extensively but would you recommend using vista now on my new mac or sticking to xp?

Can you see anything at 1920 x 1200 on a 17 inch screen? I run 1600 x 1200 on a 19 inch screen and most people I know find it a bit too much. I was looking at getting a 24 inch monitor at 1920 x 1200 at the start of next year.
It's good if that's what you want, if you're not bothered about gaming and want style, design and the features that Mac offers, then it's perfect!
-
the fonts and images on the 1920 x 1200 17 inch screens are noticeably smaller when you first look at it but after getting adjusted its fine.

Just took my old AL1715 flat screen monitor upstairs and it runs very clear at the above figures. No problems.

EDIT--sorry more like 1280 by 1024 which is max on this older 17 inch screen. But still very clear and useable

You need to warm it up before you turn it on o_0.
I'd check the insides and make sure there isn't any damp or lots of dust. The colder a computer the better, -100 C would be a good temp for a computer if you could do it without causing an condensation.

Hi,My pc hasn`t changed very much this year except for mobo and gpu card. money is tighter now and no need to follow the big boys. PC is running very well with plenty of power and graphics.
mobo--gigabyte X58A-UD3R rev 2
3x2GB OCZ 1600 ram
I7 920 CPU
Coolermaster haf 932 case
heatsink--thermalright ultra 120 extreme 1366rt
PSU--thermaltake toughpower 750w
GPU- HD 5850 1GB
Ben Q G2420 HDBL monitor
running on Windows 7 64 bit Prof.
One thing I will say is that this heatsink has run me through various stages of cpu`s and is still as solid as ever keeping things cool.Have tried more of the expensive stuff with little difference in temperature,even overclocking.
cheers

i7-920 is a damn good quality processor. You probably got it at least a few years ago and it still competes with the newest stuff in terms of bandwidth and clocks aside.
I haven't made the move to i7 yet, still running on core2extreme (quad).
Has that Gigabyte mobo ever given you problems? I had a GB a long time ago and will never get one again.
-
No problems with gigabyte mobo. But I would say say that there should be little space between 2 x 2 slot HD5850`s if running in crossfire (too close)and good cooling is a must. Plenty of room for larger heatsinks in haf 932.
But I still like my crossfire for speed and marks. The 2 x HD4890`s still outclassing the one HD5850 but two will be nice.
cheers

You know Tex I would like you to run Everest and send me the stats. Have you overclocked both the cpu and graphics? Can you flash your systems BIOS? Let me know.

If I have the xtra cash I would start again on building my own PC beginning with a new ATX chasis and the Intel chipset on a ASUS MOBO. I like multi HDD's and would experiment with SSD's and incorporate them with my beloved SCSI's drives. Try RAID 0+1 with them all and have a NVIDIA GC @1GB and I will always have a floppy drive. I'm not that familiar with high-end flat screens but if I win the lottery... .

GFX are a cheap one and a spare one next gen is so close it's not worth getting the cards now.
will also be fitting lots of drives when the drive prices stabilize.

My Samsung RC420 Laptop marked its first year a month ago. I've had Windows 7 installed to it, and if it's for any importance should I mention that my anti virus software is Norton. And amazingly, it hasn't been giving me stress since I bought this.

@ Bovski, I have a LSI Logic RAID/SCSI controller. Oh the different RAID combinations I've tried over the years. Can you incorporate SSD's as well as SATA drives on your controller? I'm not aware of a SSD's interface\power connectors.
