Who's Got The Meanest Machine?

[adonis69er]

Awww.....here i was hoping for some super impressive computer somewhere in there - haxor's dual Xeon's was kinda there....but somebody needs something with like a 5 200 gig hard drives and 3 gigs ram....mebbe a couple 21 inch LCD screens. Nobody?? Nobody has the superbest of everything? Don't tell me rich people don't use k-lite!

p.s. why were the rules changed so that the winner had to have dual cpu's?

Because I said so.

And if you want the fastest computer possible you must have as many fast processors as possible.

I don't own a computer, I own a gateway

But I want one of these:

Okay, what the hell do you use the 15K RPM Hard Disks for? I see no logic in buying them for personal use.

Why have your &#39;System and swap&#39; installed on non RAID and your &#39;Data(storage)&#39; on a RAID????

Wouldn&#39;t it make more sense the other way around?

[Eggo60]

2.5ghz P4

geforce 4 mx440

Also as all the little things like cd writes ect..
going to upgrade it soon enough i reckon..

Winner doesn&#39;t need to have dual CPU&#39;s. RN is J/K :-)

Criteria for winning:
Fastest processor (Dual CPU&#39;s do help, but is not a must)
More HDD space (With higher speeds like barracuda etc..)
More RAM (WinXP won&#39;t support more than a gig) Preferably DDR
More Video Memory and a better Video card
High quality sound card (128 bit or so)
Motherboard with support for newer technologies (Like hyperthreading)
Faster FSB speeds

There are points for each feature. The rarer the feature, the more are the points. The final points for each configuration is assedded on the average of the features combined. Thus, the one with the best configuration will always be the winner.

PS: I haven&#39;t still decided how to allocate the points. If you have got some good ideas, then put it in.
