I dont have a problem with intel chips (have a p3-733 here somewhere) but I would avoid the celeron like the plague (very crappy output for their clock speed). An athlon xp, a real p4, or even a duron is a much better chip.

Why didnt you get that then??? It would have been a nice machine I guess. The one im getting is manufactured by Dell Australia. Is that the one you are getting Kazer0? It would be manufactured by Dell Canada though

Um... I build my own computers. And why would I buy a 2.2ghz PC and mobo when i'm getting a 1.8 and mobo+RAM for free?

my bitch:
Pentium 4 2.2 Ghz
80 GB HD (I've had the computer for about 2 weeks, and I already got only 10 gbs of free space. wtf?!)
512 MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9200 SE 128 MB graphics card
XP Proffesional
and a beauty of a Combo Drive by LG, which writes CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-ROM, and reads all the other other options! magnifique!

My first PC, now ten months old:-

MS 6701 motherboard
Intel P4B 2.66 (not overclocked, I know nothing about that stuff)
512 DDR RAM
60 GB HD at 5400 RPM
Radeon 9000LE 64 MB AGP
etc.

anyway, from 3 old comps I built an almost-solid 75 mhz, 426 gig hard drive, and somewhere round 30 megs o ram. Orchid farenheit 1280 vid card. It was a piece of crap. even though i haven't put it together yet, I got a p II 266 mhz processor and a real atx mobo. wheeee...

Aaaayyyy, there ain't no crap PC's on this site. Ask U_K, he's got the full range and should help setup a museum.

Me, I just like to max-out any PC I have, no matter how lowly. Tweeks is still fun 4 the MIPS hobbist (12 more "sysmarks", alllllllrrrriiiggghhttt!! ). 4 instance, I bet that P75 will just take a 100 or 133 chip if you just knew the jumpers.

Sure I will setup a museum, send me all the old software packages you have (including the box and manuals) and I will get to work (since I already own 1 of each generation PC).

How many semi's of DD 5-1/4" would you like?

One of everything would be nice especially anything technical (cad, math, engineering, science, physics, etc)

I have been looking for Norton Desktop 2 or 3 but havnt found it (Windows 3.1 era).

The computer store has Norton Desktop (Not sure which version) that they are going to sell on e-bay. It's old, and says "NOW WORKS WITH WINDOWS 95!" on it.

All sing along: "Every PC is precious, every PC belongs..." (Que the dancing Smerfs.)

U_K: I've got Norton 6 for DOS. I'll check to see if the disks are still viable. Same with the pile of 5-1/4's. I should be copying them to CD soon before all the bytes sift to the bottom of the disks anyway.

Do you gus know where to find 256kbit x 4 DRAM 20 pin DIP chips?

They were common in ISA video cards (8 pcs for 1mb)and on some old motherboards. I need 16 to upgrade an scsi card I got with my Amiga 2000 the other day.

I seen somebody selling Norton Desktop 2.2 on ebay but they want $10 for shipping something that would cost $1 via USPS media mail, I hate that.

Ive gone through a ton..some super expensive 3ghz ones that overheat..

So here is my new setup:

2.8GHZ P4 (one with HT , on) , oced to 3ghz.
512 (soon to be a gig) of PC2700 RAM
Radeon 9200 PRO (the SE sucks , the pro hasnt failed me yet).
120 gigs space.

Good comp..does what I want it to VERY well.

My dos gaming pc

133mHz
win 95 and dos 4 (i think its 4)
6mb ati vid
soundblaster 16bit audio
8x cd rom
3'1/2 floppy
5'1/4 floppy
1gig hd
