Go to the My Computer icon and right click on it and go to Properties. This will tell you the type of processor and the speed. It will also tell you what you have for RAM. You can see what sort of video card you have by going to the Display Properties (right click on the desktop and go to Properties or go to the Control Panel), and then go to Settings and under Display it will tell you what type of graphic card you have.

Oh yeah, my mouse is a Logitech Wireless Optical mouse..I'm not sure what model...it's nice but I want to save up for the Logitech MX Revolution.

Just got rid of my old Sempron 2300+ (formerly Athlon XP 1800+ until I burnt the CPU), now running on this. I passed the high-end and just went for what I needed. Runs VMWare happily and gets my work done. I replaced my old one just because I can't stand that it crashes all the time.

The Veteran. Used to be my primary laptop till the battery died on me twice. Still runs great as a server with an internal 10 min UPS (a.k.a. dead battery). Now it's really a collectible, as IBM-Lenovo doesn't make 10.4" laptops anymore, and at 2.7lbs, still arguably the lightest in its class.

Not mine, just a loaner laptop from the company I work for as co-op. We get laptops when we go back to school if we return to the company for the next term. They asked if I wanted the laptop, so why not? Free toy! Last time I returned the laptop with Mac OS X installed on it.

you sure you didn't misplace a decimal in that speed.... like maybe 13.3mhz?

oh I made some upgrades!

Well, at least I can't feel too bad -I thought I was the only one with an eMachine...

Similar to yours, but an AMD, has a Media center, and is using an old Gateway keyboard and mouse and 17 " monitor.

I plan on a 17-19 LCD, and a new keyboard/mouse, but that's it.

This computer is just a temp upgrade...

A Compaq 6320 that I bought in December 2002.

1.6 Gz Athlon processer.

768 Meg of DDR ram.

60 Gigabyte harddrive.

250 Gigabyte External Western Digital "My Book" harddrive.

A DVD Rom

A CD Writer

Logitech Wireless mouse.

A Nextech Keyboard.

32 megs of shared intergrated video.

Onboard sound which is hooked to my Pioneer Reciever.

Toshiba Satellite

Centrino Duo

1.86 Ghz

1 GB ram

100 GB Hard Drive

Nothing too special, but I have had it about a year now and it hasn't skipped a beat, and is still pretty quick even though I have a ton of junk on it.

Yeah, mine does what I need it to do, my brother-in-law (studying computer engineering, builds comps on the side) keeps trying to tell me to upgrade everything on there, but my question to him is why if it does what I want it to do still?

HP Pavillion Slimline w/ Windows XP Media Center Edition

Intel Celeron M 1.7 GHz

Printer - Canner - Copier

Toshiba Satellite, Cetrino Mobile processor, 1.76 GHZ, 512 RAM, not sure what else...oh yeah SRS TruSurround Card,built in Wireless LAN, but running Cable Modem with Optimum Online, And Logitech Speakers, have a wireless mouse but could never figure out how to get it to work. It's a real nice laptop, runs a little slow sometimes due to junk and spam, spyware...but the thing is always on either in use or hibernating...I also use it for my job as a AAA dispatcher and have all of my AAA programs and software on here. Aside for the signs of wear on the silver finish coming off near the left click on the mouse and from my hands resting on it as I type....the thing still works good and looks good, has all of it keys intact and I still keep the plastic on the back of the screen to help prevent damage...I've had it about a year and a half and will keep for at least 2-3 more years until the warranty expires and I get sick of the sight of it

Do you periodically clear it out with Adaware?

This thread only proves that Dodgefan has rich parents.

I just purchased a new laptop this Sunday, and I've been working off it all week. It sure as hell gets the job done.

Specs from the sticker --

Brand: Acer Aspire 5050-5554

CPU: AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile TL50 (1.6 GHz, 256KB L2 cache)

Screen: 14.1" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite LCD

Video: ATI Radeon Xpress 1100

HDD: 120GB (probably 5400RPM)

Media: DVD-Super Multi double layer (support DVD+R Double Layer/DVD+-RW)

RAM: 1GB DDR2

Network: 802.11b/g wireless LAN, 10/100Mbps ethernet port as well

Additional laptop goodies --

- Built in web cam, microphone

- VGA, S-Video out

- Telephone port (why bother)

- Bluetooth

Accessories --

- Targus Numeric Pad

- Laptop riser with swivel pad

- used Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse (right mouse button broke on me yesterday... )

My desktop PC is the result of over 15 years of upgrades. The processor is far inferior to that on the laptop, but otherwise it's a much more capable machine with a much faster HDD and game-capable graphics. Although, the graphics card is overdue for an upgrade.

Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz 533MHz FSB

1GB DDR-400 RAM

ATI Radeon 9800SE w/ 128MB VRAM

Haha well most of the computer is thanks to student loans, I needed a better one because my old comp simply can't handle 3D modeling and rendering. I gotta pay it all back someday I least I have a job now though. My parents? Rich? :rotflmao: My mom still drives the Shadow!

You missed my two posts about it?

Yeah I did

I love this printer. I've had it since I graduated from high school (it was a gift). I din't see any reason to upgrade it yet since it works so well

I am planning to get a work station, but am waiting till the Vista bugs will be off. Just for curiosity go to dell and configure the Precision work station. See how expensive it is with the 128 GB Ram, it is like buying a STS V-8.

Bad boy, Dodgefan, bad boy...

That the reason why I decided to build my tower also. But the custom case was just because I was bored one week.

The only appropriate computer for the discerning automotive enthusiast.

Upgraded to 1.2 gig ram

Overwise, I want to upgrade my speakers. They suck. Since I have a PC that can handle having music on it, my 330 watt stereo system has been collecting dust. I wish I could just hook those speakers up to it. Oh, that'd be awesome... pure insanity. Any ideas how?

You might be able to.

Do you have a Radio Shanty in your area, or an electronics store? A Radio Shanty will be the best option.

If your 330 Watt system has a 'line in' or inputs a (red/white) at the back, you should be able to make this work.

Head to Radio Shanty (or comparable retailer) and find an audio splitter, like this:

Hook it the single jack to the rear of your computer, and the red and white jacks to the rear of your audio system. Set the system to what that input would be, for example 'tape' or 'phono' or 'line in,' etc.

You should be good to go. Now, I have done this with my computer and have cranked out awesome sound. Plus, I have a Surround Sound processor hooked up to this system, so it can crank out even better sound when I want. You should hear the song 'Thriller' on it!

Keep in mind the output from the computer can be wimpy for a large receiver. Make sure your system's volume is cranked up fully, otherwise you may be disappointed.

Captainbooyah, that is the same kind of setup I us for my computer sound instead of wimpy computer screen. My only problem is with an electrical humming noise. Have you ever hd this problem?Other than the noise my Pioneer reciever handles it just fine. And remember like Captainbooyah said if you do this make sure you turn the computer volume up all the way.

Well I need my porn

What are the advantages of what you use and cost? over Norton and Spyware Killer Pro?

They're both free and compete programs. They are very good at catching things before they do damage. Avast is just as good as any program you have to pay for. I've never used Spyware Killer, but Ad-Aware works very well for me. I install them both on all the PCs I have to clean out for people. (The record so far is 1,000 or so trojans and viruses).

Yup, if your system has an input line, you'll be able to use that cord and plug it into your comp...instant uber sound.

I run Spyware Killer Pro, which includes Spyware Killer, Junk File Killer, Anonymous Surfing on the net, among other things, and I also run Norton Anti Virus. I do sweeps daily with spy killer and sweep with Norton about once a month. I always have crap on this computer too much porn etc....

I run Ad aware and spybot on my computer once a month or so, as well as trendmicro virus scan once every other month or so. I never find anything. I guess I am just a smart surfer :AH-HA_wink:

Oh yeh. my other computer. I gave it to my friend to use, since I don't need it anymore, it's old.

Since I am going back to school shortly and finally got paid today, it was time to get a new computer. Nothing too great, but it should serve its purpose.
