Duel Boot: A condition on a computer where the operating systems insult each others' honor and then get into a fight over which one gets to boot the machine when the user starts it up.

This is my system, not too bad:

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 64-Bit
ABIT AMD: NF7-S nForce2
Western Digital IDE: 80GB 7200rpm SE (800JB)
ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 128MB AGP
Kingston Technologies DDR PC3200 512MB DIMM
Kingston Technologies DDR PC3200 512MB DIMM

Note: I don't list the power supply, or my floppy, because they escape my memory, and as for the memory, it is DDR 400 but for some reason running 333, I think it may be the mobo but I was pretty sure it could handle it, oh well.

Old Asus motherboard
486-dx2 66mhz processer
16mb ram
2x cd rom drive
Vesa 2.0 compliant SVGA card
soundblaster 16
500 meg hard drive
3.5 inch floppy drive
5.25 inch floppy drive
nearly dead monitor which won't go above 640x480

Sound is rigged in to a 40 something year old Sony TC-200 reel to reel tape deck that I've rewired as a straightforeward stereo amp.

(the mechanics were completely seized. Rather than fix them , I opted to build a stereo out of it)

It plays Rammstein really loudly while running wolf3d. What more could I want?

xolik · « **Reply #190 on:** February 21, 2005, 11:38:07 AM »

I've finished building my new system. Here's the basic rundown:

Athlon 64 3000+
1GB DDR 400 Ram
36GB SATA WD Raptor boot drive
300GB SATA Maxtor storage drive
256mb GeForce 5500
SoundBlaster Live (oldie but a goodie)
16x Memorex DVD Rom
12x Sony Dual Layer DVD Burner
1.44 beloved floppy drive
Gigabyte system board with 8 USB 2.0 ports+3 Firewire

It's much faster than my old one.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #191 on:** February 21, 2005, 03:20:10 PM »

Very nice!

I'll be building a new desktop system for myself probably in a year or so... what'd your setup run you and where did you get most of the components?

xolik · « **Reply #192 on:** February 21, 2005, 05:31:01 PM »

I wound up paying about $1300 for the whole thing. I'm kind of an impatient man, so I bought almost all my parts at Fry's instead of wanting to wait for them to arrive via Internet purchases. I probaby could have shaved a few hundred off if I bargain shopped.

That's still pretty encouraging. I'm planning on bargain shopping for most components, though I'd like to find a nice tower-motherboard-power supply setup all in one shot if I can, just to save some trouble.

I'm definitely going with a 64-bit processor though.

xolik · « **Reply #194 on:** February 21, 2005, 05:50:30 PM »

The modular power supplies are nice, but the cables are actually pretty tough to bend. They had a 500w modular supply on sale for $75 after rebate, which is screaming deal. I was just lucky that it was on sale the day I decided to go in. I didn't really plan this one too much. Kind of just threw it together on a lark.

xolik · « **Reply #195 on:** March 03, 2005, 02:17:21 PM »

I just had this donated to me. So far, it works great!

PowerMac G4 dual 500mhz
1.25GB Ram
80GB Hard Drive
DVD-R/RW Burner
OS 12.3.8
16MB ATI Video
1000/100/10 Nic
56k Modem
Whatever sound card the Mac uses built-in.

The only thing I can think of that needs upgrading is the Video Card. It works pretty well so far.

UPGRADE STYLEZ!

The Gibson now has: 8gb Hard Drive, and FreeBSD 2.2.8, with X Window.

Unix reminds me of the OS on my old TraSh-80.
