HarU 0 Posted January 29, 2001 Well, i guess since everyone else has this need for ego boosting, i will post my machine specs as well.... Asus A7V Mobo AMD T-bird 1.1 Ghz. 512 mb pc-133 RAM (micron) Asus V7700 Geforce 2 DDR 64megs Wester Digital 40 gig ATA 100 HD (7200 RPM) IBM Deskstar 20 gig (7200 RPM) Kenwood 72x True X CD-ROM SBLive! 3com 10/100 nice (3c905c) Iomega Zip 100 drive (internal) 17" MAG FD-350 flat display monitor I think that about covers it. Im kinda with Ronin on this one....i just like to spend money on the parts, because i have nothing else to spend my money on. I think it is fun upgrading and testing out new possibilities. Anyway...Oxide...nice machine....but get a life dude. If you really feel like being a jack *** , then go outside, pick up a rock, and throw it at a kid bigger than you. Then, just stand there for a sec, and see what happens. Maybe then you will grow up a little. Oh, and i play CS, Q3, Action quake 2, and Unreal Tournament. CS is the most fun and it is the hardest to get good at. In case anyone cares...i play on the PIMP server in CS. If ya ever want to play....I am under the name HarU or -=EuA=-Tommyboy. If ya want to see some cool stats go to: cstrike.digitalrefuge.com. Oxide, if you ever want to get your *** whooped in any First Person Shooter that you think is "not" a game for pussies...ie quake, then you just let me know. I will be sure to help you with that. If nothing else, this post gave everyone a chance to show off there machines...in a friendly way (excluding oxide). And, in that sense, is kinda cool. There's a lot of great machines on this board. Peace out guys... Share this post Link to post
oXide 0 Posted January 29, 2001 See...you guys hated me at first...but indirectly, I am helping you...Everyone wants to show off their systems, and I have given you a way to vent your ego. You may not realize it now, but one day when one of your friends who didnt post their systems dies of over-modesty, you will say "thank you oXide, you really do possess the big X." -oXide ps...everyone knows CS is for pussies; thats a given like the integral of a derivative.

HarU 0 Posted January 29, 2001 That's funny...not only did you not comment on my post, but you completely avoided any challenges i may have made in retrospect of your allegations of "pussy" games pointed at CS. So, it seems that when it is all said and done...you can talk **** to gamers about one of the best games ever made, but you can't even defend yourself in the games you claim to be "non-pussy" games. Tsk Tsk Tsk...Just gives everyone even more of a reason to degrade you not only as an end-user, but as a gamer alike. The more and more i think about it....you are quite pathetic. p.s. Anyone think this is Jdulmage under a different name, or is he just a lamo also? Share this post Link to post
oXide 0 Posted January 29, 2001 you want to play you f-ing puss? feel free to drop me a line or IM me at volcom7@aol.com. I am not affriad of your challenge, its just that I dont have time to deal with bullsh*t..i have school and work full time and for me squeeze in an *** -whooping isnt the most convientent thing. But since you think you're such a bad a$$ we will see. -oXide, b*tch ps...and who is pathetic? I am just having a little fun on a messageboard that I highly respect...YOU are the one who is taking everything I say to heart. Maybe you should go out and get a life outside this board. The fact that you are truly angered by my CS comment only proves that you are the one who is pathetic, b*tch [This message has been edited by oXide (edited 29 January 2001).] Share this post Link to post
Damien 0 Posted January 29, 2001 Am I the only one who thinks that this thread is a complete waste of time? I think it should be closed so we can have some real discussions instead of rising to the my dick's bigger than your dick syndrome. Hey guys don't rise to people like Oxide - it's simply not worth it!!! [This message has been edited by Damien (edited 29 January 2001).] Share this post Link to post
HarU 0 Posted January 29, 2001 I agree with you Damien that this is getting just plain stupid. But, i don't think it should be closed because it brings action to the board and allows users to speak their mind. That is a big part of this board. Oxide, i was not taking any of your babble to heart; i was only defending CS gamers, and i believe i have a right to my own opinion. So, you continue to act the way you are acting, and i wont have to say anything else. You will do all the insulting to yourself without my help. Share this post Link to post
oXide 0 Posted January 29, 2001 hahaha! If any of you have seen any of my previous posts, you'd know I am usually a repsectable, intelligent part of this established community...i just thought I'd have some fun thats all, and it seems to have worked....but come on now...i have a 15000rpm drive =) -oXide Share this post Link to post
Ronin 0 Posted January 30, 2001 Well the whole idea about this thread was just so everyone would pimp my system. Because when you look at the entire picture, everyone should just BOW!! to me.. This is all in fun guys so don't think I'm trying to be a jerk. Who's the master? hehe Share this post Link to post
Stephen Van Siclen 0 Posted January 30, 2001 Ronin, I BOW TO YOU. Your rock solid stability on your 840 chipset system gave me the incentive to move toward the 840 chipset in the face of it being slammed hard by just about every hardware site on the net. Your mature response when you were told to "shut the **** up!" really impressed me as well. Your technical expertise in helping people in this forum has been an asset to this group. I will admit that ALL of us techies tend to get a bit Big Headed from time to time and don't like intrusions from some of the weirder posts. (any one remember jdulmage's first strange new posts, Hey! I still wonder if there is any validity to the whole upgrade deal he went on about.) Oxide, I admit your specs are good. You say that you did this all for under a grand? Including the 15000 RPM Drive? Not bad. Nothing worse than being impressed by something you've done and finding yourself slammed by the community for wanting to impress. No doubt you are upset because you had thought you might get a few ego strokes. However there are a lot of us who will throw gobs of money at our system with nothing leftover for other stuff so you have some validity in what you say. No doubt that in a gaming contest neither Ronin's or any larger systems are really going to have that much of a faster feel. Heck. My daughters PII 300 doesn't really feel much slower than my lead system in my household. Heck the G3 400 actually "feels" faster than all of them, though in number crunching / fps tests I'm sure my lead system would win. Remember though, even though this is a hardware forum, it is on NTCOMPATIBLE and is really out there for each other to help one another. Lets make this productive eh? I propose if you really want to get into a pissing contest you show some benches to back it up along with the price you paid, then we can get a price / performance post rolling and see how much speed the extra money spent really gives a person. I surely know I was shocked to see that my system didn't clock that much better than DosFreaks when I went for the real numbers with my system. Lets keep this forum fun and most of all lets keep our heads in reality, for the truly intelligent, the numbers will speak more than the pissing contest. just my 2 cents. Share this post Link to post

I use WinDVD cuz it's got better support (so Im told) for AMD procs. Question, how high do I set the voltage to OC the Duron 600 if I use the jumper settings. Right now, Im doing this OC with the BIOS. Share this post Link to post
oXide 0 Posted January 30, 2001 HAHAH...OK. I made my initial post knowing that I would piss off alot of people. I've been posting and replying here for a while and I know this is a real community of people out to help eachother....not like plantquake forums. I admit, I respect this forum and I even have it bookmarked...but come on...twas a joke =) Look back at any of my previous posts, and I blend right in =) -oXide ps...not joking about CS Share this post Link to post

oXide 0 Posted January 30, 2001 700's are the magic proccessors to overclock. They run at 100mhz FSB which makes it more possible to OC (as opposed to a 133FSB becuase you have more room to OC your mem), and they have the highest multiplier at 7x....you should return that thing and get a 700 and clock it to 1000 no prob like me -oXide Share this post Link to post
Marchuz^ 0 Posted January 30, 2001 oXide: What you're saying is really true, if you have a Pentium III system, but this guy has an Athlon system, big difference... ------------------ Marchuz^ UIN: 42900735 marcus@fofso.net Share this post Link to post
mello_j 0 Posted January 30, 2001 Ive been coming across some articles that say the Athalon is clock locked, and to OC it you need to get some sodering skills going. Is that true?? Ive Oc'ed a Celeron before, and a Duron (with that funky lead pencil trick), but Ive never done any actual chip modifications. Share this post Link to post
Marchuz^ 0 Posted January 30, 2001 mello_j: It's true that the mutliplier is locked on Athlons but there are two ways to unlock it, first thing is to, just as you say to resolder some small resistors on the PCB, but thats just stupid to do, instead, buy a "GFD-card" and remove the plastic shell from the processor and attach the GFD... then you ca change the multiplier with the dip-swith on the GFD. The second alternative for overclocking your Athlon is by upping the FSB, this isn't a very good alternative since most AMD chipsets wont be stable at high bus-speeds. The absolute upper limit for the Via KX133 chipset is at about 120 Mhz. I have an Athlon 700 on a Abit KA7 mb myself that is overclocked to 800 MHz by FSB clocking (114x7). Another issue when overcloking Athlon classics is the level-2 cache, on a 700 it runs at 1/2 of the processors core speed, when overclocking you have to change the cache-divider so that the cache doesen't sun too fast, avalable cache speeds is 1/2, 2/5 and 1/3 of the processor core speed. You ca change the level-2 cache by resoldering some resistors on the PCB or in BIOS if your mb supports it, or by software like Mathlon. If you have any questions just mail me or icq me... ------------------ Marchuz^ UIN: 42900735 marcus@fofso.net Share this post Link to post

INFERNO2000 0 Posted January 31, 2001 My problem wasn't about the computer, it was about the presentation of the system. I'd like to have some SCSI in there...but I'm not worried about it. I don't think so highly of my system as to claim supremacy.....my attitude's never been that way, I don't htink. If the post was something along the lines of "here's my computer-you like?", then this post wouldn't have spawned the responses...but since it was "here it is, wipe your drool away"...well...we're on page 4 now. ------------------ My PC is warm.
