Dell Dimension...

phreak

how much did all that set you back if you don't mind me asking??

and yeah, you probably should have got RDRAM

Gerry

You would have been better off getting 256 megs of rdram, and another 256 in a while if you need it. PC133 reduces the performance of the p4 by around 20%. Of course dell aren't going to tell you that, which is why you should do your research first.

hmm.. well, 20% down on performence will probobly still look amazing to me, compared with the p2 300mhz I'm on now. I'll buy some RDRAM when I can, and I'll put the SD into this mechine when that happins.

as for the cost.. heres the full spec of what I ordered from dell...

P4 - 1.7Ghz
128MB SDRAM
60GB HD
19" Monitor
64MB GeForce3
Sound Blaster Live 1028 (or what ever its called)
basic speakers
56k modem
3Com Network card

...I think thats mainly it, and it cost IR£1,905.60 incl. delivery / vat.

I also bought a DV Capture card, another harddrive (40GB) and a set of 4.1 surround speakers from peats. The extra ram came from shop4memory.com (3x 256mb SDRAM).

Still waiting for that damn Dell though. How long do these bias usualy take?

<edit>
dell just called, said the delay was with the monitor and I should have it by next monday / tuesday.

Yeah mine was delayed a bit when i got it too but in the end it was worth it

My spec was:

P4 1.5ghz
256 Ram
80 Gig Hard Drive
32mg Ge-force 2 ultra
19" Monitor
Harmon Kandron Speakers
Cd-Rw 12:10:32
Creative Sounblaster Live Platnium
Windows 98se
Modem and Network card

All of the above i got from dell when ordering apart from the cd-rw. I also bought a pinnacle capture card but due to my own stupidity ive lost the damn installation disk Stuoopid i know but when i first installed it it wouldnt work properly and then i let a good while go by then i got the card to work and the disk was gone what capture card did you get goodshape? let me know how it goes as im dying to capture my dv videos onto computer!

One thing to remember is that the drive dosnt come partitioned so if you want to do that do it before you put everything on! Coz stupidly again! I waitied and then course it took me so long to organise everything to wipe the computer i only got it partitioned a few weeks ago and ive had my comp for 9 months! Let me know how it all goes Im sure youll be pretty pleased!

Bitch[LuDo] :cool:
