I upgraded my computer - personal computer I mean. I bought a new 2-core processor and new motherboard.
April, 2007
Today my hardware configuration is:
| CPU: | Intel Pentium D 915 Presler, 2.8 GHz, 800 MHz on system bus |
| Motherboard: | ASUS P5PE-VM based on Intel i865G chipset |
| RAM: | 2x512 MB DDR400 work with my Pentium D in Dual Channel Mode on 400 MHz, both are determined by CPU-Z as Hynix HYMD664 646CP8JD43 |
| 3DVideo: | Sapphire ATI RADEON 9550 - I can play the DOOM III with this card - yeah! |
| Hard disk 1: | WD400BB - 40 GB IDE 7200 rpm with 2 MB buffer, it is formatted to one piece under NTFS. |
| Hard disk 2: | WD3200JS - 320 GB SATAII 7200 rpm with 8 MB buffer, it is formatted to one piece under NTFS with the 298 "real GBs", it works with my internal motherboard SATA controller in SATA mode (I put the jumper on this HDD to "SATA 150 only" mode) - this one replaced my old WD1600JB. |
| DVD-RW drive: | BENQ DW1640 |
| CD-RW drive: | TEAC DW-548D - it is too noisy when works at high speed, but it is very good thing for the rest... |
| Display: | 17 inches CRT Samsung SyncMaster 757DFX - 2 years old and some huge and weight but works very good and very stable on 1280x1024 85Hz mode. Yeah, I want a new LCD panel with 20 inches wide 1680x1050 screen but I have not money for that one yet... |
My Genius keyboard is still working but my first optical mouse "from unknown manufacturer" death in first few month and I bought a simle "ball" mouse and it is working at this moment and worked throught more then year before - and it does not requere any "especial" surface!
My PC from October, 2004 to April, 2007
February 2008
Now I am thinking about a some bigger LCD panel with 24 inches wide screen with 1920x1200 pixels. :) Does someone want to give me a $800 for my dream? ;)
