Not a server, Its only cheap ram, and hates running at stock speed. I just can't afford to trade it in for something better at this stage. Oh by raid, I meant 2x160GB setup in stripe. But you know how this ppl like to rip you off. adds up to 298gb

Actually, you don't get gipped. It's in the way we shorthand things. We imagine that a gigabyte (Giga=billion, byte=8 bits) is one billion bytes...but that's only one way of looking at it. The way the label on the box looks at it. The real and accepted way is that 1Kbyte=1024 bytes, 1mbyte=1024 kbytes, 1gbyte=1024 mbytes...so a full gig is 1,073,741,824 bytes, not 1,000,000,000. It's the same way with ram. So you're not getting screwed, you're just getting gigabytes that are easier to measure. So I suppose that in the interest of truth in advertising, I should say that my hard disks are as follows:

80GB=74.5 GB

120GB=111.76 GB

200GB=186.26 GB

250GB=232.83 GB

Can you tell I was once in school for a math related field?

(Now I'm an English major, for all those of you considering jobs in math-stuff...I can highly recommend the switch)

Hey, here is a guy that apperciates math. You don't see too many of those around.

To counter his post, if you are considering a career in Math, do not make the switch to English. I highly don't recommend the switch.

And another counter post, RAM uses true binary measurements.

I rather like the engineering field, english is just so........ boring.

Can anyone say no job potential in english?

Hey Phyridean,

Where did you get your x800?

Just wondering.

Hi everyone, know I'm a little late on this one, but here goes anyway:

Operating System:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP1

Dual boot with Mandrake 10 (work stuff)

Motherboard: ASUS PCDL Deluxe (Intel 857P Dual Xeon Chipset)

CPU: 2 x 2.8Ghz Intel Xeon HT

RAM: 2 x 512Mb PC2700 Low Latency Corsair in Dual Channel Mode

Hard drives: 1 x 80Gb Seagate ATA 7200RPM 8Mb Cache

1 x 200Gb Maxtor SATA 7200RPM 8Mb Cache

Hard drive controllers: Highpoint Rocket Raid 454 4Ch ATA133 Raid Host Adaptor

Adaptec 2904 SCSI Controller

Backup: HP C1537-0051 Dat drive (DDS3)

CD/DVD: 2 x Sony DWU14A

Display: ASUS Vsomething or other (can't remember off top of mi head, but it's based on the GF4 Ti4600 and has 128Mb RAM)

Monitor: NEC Multisync 18.1" TFT @ 1280 x 1024

Audio Adapter: Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS 71 THX Certified

Actually, now I've sat here and listed all that, I've realised why my bank manager kisses my shoes everytime I go in to see him

Smudge

Not a thing special about it...except it all came free from my college's dumpster. Not a thing wrong with it. It works perfectly in every detail.

Hey Phyridean,

Where did you get your x800?

Just wondering.

I got mine at CompUSA, and it's the basic ATI made model. (i.e. not Gigabyte or Sapphire...)

Now I'm sure that there are those of you out there who don't like CompUSA, but they were the only ones who had it at the time.

I can HIGHLY recommend it to anyone.

And by the way, unless you just do a cut-and-paste, feel free to call me "Phy." Everyone else does.

OS: XP Pro Sp1a

MB: ASUS A7V333

CPU: AMD ATHLON1700+ @ 1.98ghz

HDD: 120gb seagate (oops, actually, 114gb since MS changed the math

RAM: 512MB PC270O - corsair w/heat shield

VID: 32mb ATI all-in-wonder

SOUND: sound blaster live

DISPLY: 21" viewsonic

FREE SPACE: 40-50gb

Nothin fancy, but it does the trick...especially since i OC'd it from 1.46ghz to 1.98ghz

use mainly for dvd backups , gaming , and, if time allows, surfing porn
