I have two machines in my house. My brother's (who doesn't live here) and mine. I use one for the internet (my brother's) and my own for web design.
Borther's:
Mine:
I am going to save up soon to upgrade my PC and get WiFi connectors for it. Does anybody know how I can overclock my processor? If you do, then please put it in detail in a PM to me. Thanks. My monitor is a 17" CRT monitor, my brother's is a 17" TFT flat screen. Printers = Lexmark Z500 or something and an Epson C320 or whatever it is. We have a very old flat bed scanner and a stupid old modem. But nobody will listen to the one that knows about these things. And as for my computer, I got the pieces together and built it. And yes, I did buy it. |

I just got this laptop a couple of months ago for only 800(!) and it is freakin' sweet:
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (2205 mhz) 80 GB harddrive 512 MB RAM ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 (weakest part, too bad it's integrated) AC97 Mobo audio Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition/Suse 9.3 x84_64 As you can see it spec's out pretty nice but the problem with this thing is physical quality. The AC plug broke (the end that goes into the computer) and I had to hack it to attach a new tip. The hinges are floppy. The screen flickers when the AC adapter is coming loose. The battery is loose. Fortunately I haven't had to deal with the largest reported issue of the hinge covers cracking, but then it's only been a couple of months. You get what you pay for. Don't buy any of the eMachines m68xx series (all the same except for processor). They're made with the same Arima "K8-Shadow" outer shell. Also the same for Gateway 75xx series (gateway owns eMachines). |

 Sarah it also helped that I have my own computer fixing business which I don't have to pay taxes for because I don't have enought customers yet. I get around $100-200 per job which helps out even more. And in this highschool I'm in everyone keeps saying how their parents owe them so much. And they say I'm just mooching off my parents to get the money to be able to buy that. HAH!!! I'm probaly the only hard working one out of all of them.

-Edit-
this is for Guy: Well unless you have a sufficent source of cooling I wouldn't suggest over clocking a P2. Other wise you want to go to go into the Bios, most p2's can be over clocked to run at a high p3-low p4 which is around 56 i believe, so when your computer starts up press Delete, then from the bios go into Standerd Cmos Settings and press enter on the CPU speed then raise it untill its around the 60's 70's see how high you can get it. If it dosen't boot just reset the Bios (that just changes the properties back to normal dosen't delete Windows or anything) To reset it there is a Battery on your MoBo Just take it out for about 30 seconds and put it back in. then start it up and try to see how much your cpu can handle, don't put it too high, maybe like middle of 70 at the most because your computer will almost litterly fry and that might be kind of useless to you having a fried computer. |
