I got my new pc today and its set up and all.. only thing that i missed in the order was my HDD



The spec goes



Processor - AMD Athlon 64 3000+ - Retail

HDD - WD 120gb SATA

Mobo- Gigabyte K8 Trixton nForce4 Ultra - Retail

GPU - XFx GeForce 6600GT - Retail

1 gb DDR400 PC3200 Ram

16x16 DVD-RW

Antec Server Case

500w PSU - 12v ATX2.0



Standard Mouse, Keyboard and Printer



and im gettin a 17" CRT monitor



i bought my whole pc, keyboard, Monitor, Mouse, Printer + P&P + VAT for just 650 and the pc so far is just whooping ass



Plus my friend give me a magic disk with all the coolest programs on it :D

Gigabyte mobo :/

(over-priced, low quality, i would have gone with an epox)

BUt i guess the systems fine for the budget. Are you building it yourself?

I don't speak hexadecimal, therefore the above meant little to me.



Just kidding. Congratulations Foxboy. Due to my extreme cheapness, I haven't yet spent the $20 on a wireless router and so haven't used my new comp that I bought 4 months ago yet.

I am glad to see you got a DVD burner. I got a new pc a few months ago and practically all I have done is made copies of dvds (you'll need dvd skrink, it's free and the only program that copies protected dvds). Not only that, you can burn new ones such as live chems videos X-D and other goodies. I spent the summer downloading a file w/ ever simpsons episode, and I'm only up to burning season 14. Every stoner friend I have always pesters me to bring them if I see them.

I�m really thinking to buy a a new pc but i still dont know if i go with amd 64 bits or i stay with the standard pentium 4 :?

64bit. I have a 64 bit and I feel more powerful than the average man on the street.

If you can spend a lot of money on computers i would choose an AMD 64, but otherwise i would go for a Pentium M and overclock it as heck :D Pentium M is really worth it's price if you can overclock it...

gigabyte has recently become a good mobo manufacturer, and the quality of there nforce 4 mobos rivals other manufacturerers like asus and msi. in terms of the cpu the athlon 64 is a solid pick. amd64 processors are more power efficient and run cooler than any pentium 4.

actually good stuff for putting this shit in my head,



any yo techies point me in the direction of how to have wi-fi broadband for my house. wanna use it for my psp

Get cable connection. Get cable router. Get wireless acces point. Plug cable into router. Plug router into wireless acess point. Detect network on your psp. Voila.

will that allow the pc and the psp to connect at the same time?



are routers and wireless access points expensive??

You can have as many conections as you want on broadband, as for how much, ive got no idea.

i heard that that edition is dodgey as heck.. dont get it is my advice.. but hell i only know so much about these things..



I think the best and most reliable System you can get would probably be Windows XP Pro and you can get it from anywhere and its easy to crack :)
