i like the alienware labs there tight www.alienware.com

ya and because of there special cases and kool names (area 51) they are a good $500 more than most comps... i've also heard bad things about their construction of the comp itself

anyway my comp has:

AMD Athlon XP-2800 333FSB OEM

512 MB PC3200 PC400 DDR

WD SPECIAL EDITION 120GB *MBC 7200R (err.. hard drive)

AMD Athlon CPU Fan XP-2800+

CASE FAN W/ 4 NEON led case fans

ABIT NF&-S NFORCE-2 MB W/ SATA

IEEE 1394 FIREWIRE PCI CARD

SILVER 16X DVD ROM

CREATIVE LAB SB AUDIGY 5.1 OEM IEEE

CREATIVE LAB V.92 FAX MODEM

SILVER FDD 1.44 MITSUMI FD

3COM 3C905CX-TXM NIC

WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION

250 MB ZIP DRIVE IDE INTERNAL

WINDOW SILVER ALUMINUM SX1040 420W

COLD CATHOD LIGHT 12" BLUE (sound activated neon light in the case)

JUSTER SILVER SUBWOOFER W/NEON LIGHT

BAY ONE AVI 6 IN 1 CARD READER

SILVER COLOR FAN CONTROL PANEL

ALBATRON GEFORCE-FX 5600 256MB DDR

I think thats it..... ::) i have 5 fans... nyar beat me by 1 grr >:(

this would all be great if my computer was actually working right now!!!! >:(

Depending on the model of the Thinkpad the grafics card is probably on onboard one, changing it is not possible unless you buy a new motherboard. And for that IBM thinkpad it will probably cost the same as a new one. Not to mention that there might not be another type of MoBO that will fit it that IBM laptop case. ...

Asus P4C800 DeLuxe mobo, 800FSB

Intel P4 3.06Ghz, 800FSB

1Gig DDR400 (CL 2)

GeForce FX 5600, 256mb (will be the 5900 ultra as soon as it's available in this freaking small country)

Sound blaster Audigy II, Platinum

Plextore rewriter

Lian Li case with 6 fans.

500 watt power supply with gold plated plugs and 3 fans.

Windows XP Pro.

System is 20% overclocked via the BIOS.

Why in God's name do you need to overclock a rig like that? :O

lol ya man u about coverd it what do yall prefer ATI or Nvidia !?

Nvidia.. there's no doubt about it..

By far the most reliable, still going, it's probably older than most of the people on Fed2k:

- Commodore 64: 64 KB RAM, VIC Graphics, SID sound, C64 BASIC!

I have had the pleasure of owning one.. it was excellent. The graet joy for me with Commodore started with the VIC 20... I do remember the joy when the 64 came out. "How much ram ? 64..WOW !"

I too am an old C64 computer owner. I learned how to program on that old computer. Never had to upgrade the thing for 10 years! Now that's what I call a well made product. Below are some links to the commercials for the C64, sure puts things in perspective now doesn't it?

Here is my favorite VIC-20 commercial (Even older than the C64 with only 4KB of memory!):

@Caid Ivik:What's the graphic card details?

Not sure what type, but it has 8 MB video RAM and enables up to 1024x768 resolution with 16bit color system.

SDRAM = Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory

"Synchronous" means that the clock cycle of the memory is exactly synchronized with the clock cycle of the bus. If the memory clock cycle is not in sync with the bus clock cycle, system problems will occur.

DDRRAM is actually short for DDR SDRAM

DDR = Double Data Rate

In most online stores, DDR is often written as DDR DIMM

DIMM is short for Dual In-line Memory Module.

It means that you don't need to install your memory chips two by two.

SIMM, which means Single In-line Memory Module, force you to install your memory chips two by two. If you don't, the lone memory chip will not work.

So DDR RAM should be written DDR SD DIMM RAM

Nice to know, aye? :)

well now that u have exsplianed each of the rams and made me feel stupid !! are u happy now ! :O

I can explain more RAM types if you want... :P

Ok...

SRAM(Static Random Access Memory)

SRAM is a type of memory that is faster and more reliable than DRAM (see below). Static means that it doesn't need to be refreshed with electrical impulses like DRAM.

SRAM is has many times lower access time than DRAM. Its cycle time is also much shorter than DRAM's. Unfortunately, it is more expensive to produce than DRAM. Due to its high cost, SRAM is often used only as a memory cache

DRAM(Dynamic Random Access Memory)

DRAM is used in almost all computers.

Types of DRAM:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Laptop memory:

SO DIMM (Small Outline DIMM)

A small DIMM often used in notebook computers. It supports 64 bit data transfer.

MicroDIMM 144 Pin MicroDIMM

Sometimes used in laptops.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SIMM and DIMM is covered in my last post.

FPM RAM(Fast Page Mode Random Access Memory)

This RAM type allows faster access to data in the same row or page.

It's also called Page Mode Memory.

EDO DRAM(Extended Data Output Dynamic Random Access Memory)

Faster than normal DRAM. EDO RAM can start fetching the next block of memory at the same time that it sends the previous block to the CPU.

SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)

A type of DRAM that can run at much higher clock speeds than the ones mentioned above. SDRAM actually synchronizes itself with the CPU's bus and can reach 133 MHz, which about three times faster than FPM RAM, and about twice as fast EDO DRAM.

DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate-Synchronous DRAM)

A type of SDRAM that supports data transfers on both edges of each clock cycle. This makes it twice as fast as normal SD RAM.

RDRAM(Rambus DRAM)

A type of DRAM developed by Rambus, inc. DDR RAM is considered very fast, and can reach 400 MHz, but RDRAM transfers data at up to 800 MHz.

SLDRAM(SyncLink DRAM)

A type of memory being developed by SyncLink Consortium.

It's about as fast at RDRAM.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Video RAM

VRAM(Video RAM)

VRAM is special-purpose memory used by video adapters.

WRAM(Windows RAM)

A type of RAM that supports two ports. This enables a video adapter to fetch the contents of memory for display at the same time that new bytes are being pumped into memory.

SGRAM(Synchronous Graphic Random Access Memory)

Like SDRAM, SGRAM can synchronize itself with the CPU bus clock up to speeds of 100 MHz. In addition, SGRAM uses several other techniques, such as masked writes and block writes, to increase bandwidth for graphics-intensive functions.

not shure but isn't an SO-DIMM capable of more then just 64 bit ?

And there are ECC [ error correcting ] memory modules, which have an extra bit they use ar parity bit to check for possible errors. And registered memory modulles, they have a register chip on them and can look up the location in the memory modulle themself not depending on outher sources. Although it will cost you one clock cicle to find it they have other advantages that make them worth while using.
