Ok, don't poke fun, but my dad has a lot of crap on this computer and he insists on keeping it, so I have to wait a few more months until I go to college to get my own computer, so for now:
(purchased in March 1995 and still kickin' hard!) Dell Dimension XPS Originally 133 mHz, Pentium I, 16 MB ram Upgraded to a 400 mHz, Pentium II, 96 MB ram Original hard drive was 1.5 gig, we added a second hard drive that's 6.5 gig.... Still runnin' Windows 98 up in here too..... Oh yeah, I have a CDRW too......  |

Let's see if I can remember everything
My two computer's i've built Dorm comp CPU - XP1600+ running at 1.53Ghz Motherboard - msi k7n420 pro memory - 512MB crucial pc2100 @ cas2 heatsink - alpha pal8045 w/ ystech fan(30cfm) video - geforce2 mx400 hard drives - ibm 60gxp 60GB, western digital wd800jb 80GB Drives - Pioneer 16x dvd drive, lg 40x/10x/40x cd-rw firewire card pc power and cooling turbo cool 300 watt power supply winxp professional logitech mouse and intel wireless mouse lexmark z12 printer(free w/ 3 months internet) dell 17" monitor(free, old part from a comp at work) klipsch proaudio 2.1 speakers campus network Comp sitting at home CPU - XP1600+ running at 1.6Ghz(1800+ equivalent) Motherboard - Abit KG7 Memory - 512MB crucial pc2100 @ cas2 heatsink - alpha pal8045 w/ ystech fan(30cfm) video - ati radeon 64mb soundcard - sound blaster live hard drives - ibm 60gxp 40GB, maxtor 80GB Drives - HP 12x dvd drive, sony 12x/8x/24x cd-rw firewire card winxp professional generic mouse and intel wireless mouse lexmark printer generic 16" monitor altec lansing 4.1 speaker cable modem It's getting to the point where intel processors and amd processors excel in different areas. So to know which one is better you have to look at what you use your comp for the most and then see which processor does better. You have to think now, you can't just pick the one with the higer mhz number. If you hate noise you're probably better off with intel, amd processors tend to run hot and require a better heatsink(faster, and thus, louder fan) than pentiums.

Wow lot of athlon chips... Im surprized as AMD has steadily been losing market share.
I don't really prefer one brand over the other, but in the 2.5ghz spectrum INTEL is cheaper, more stable and faster. In the 1.5-1.8ghz area, the amd chips are dirty cheap. I have a Athlon XP1500 Laptop 256MB DDR266 CDRW/DVD Combo 14.1" Screen 802.11 Wireless Card I really only use it for surfing the web though. Skyler

How come it took so long to get from like 133 mHz to 1 gHz, but it took no time to get clear up to 2.5 gHz after that? Is technology just accelerating that quickly?

Ok...this is coming in late, but I have the P4 1.8 GHZ w/ 1/2gig rambus RD ram--all bought a 1 1/2 years ago...talk about pricy, but it's still kickin @ss.
As for the advance in technology, the military has 30+ ghz comps...I've seen a few at my school--they are monsters. The towers are about 12' tall...and they have their own AC units (ok, that exagerating...but they're huge). These things run so many simultaneous programs it's not even funny. The technology is out there, but the demand has (and probably never will) catch up. Besides, who needs a 30 GHZ computer???

There is a Law that was made up by a guy in the late 70's. I can't remember the name of it now, but what it states, is that every 18 months silicon microprocessor techology doubles itself, so we are going at an exponetial rate of growth in speed and technology.

Ahh I was a bit off, the law was made in the 60's, heres a lot more info on it, is quite interesting if you take the time to glace it over. Gives you an idea where we are going to be going here in the near future.
http://www.intel.com/research/silicon/mooreslaw.htm Another very interesting, but longer article on what the future holds as far as CPU's and what computers are gonig to do for us is this... http://www.intel.com/labs/eml/patinterview.htm Skyler
