New Processor For Me!!!

Dec 31, 2002, 05:02 PM

tomorrow i am going to go to fry's and get a new athlon xp 2200+ (my friends say its on sale for $110) and 256 meg stick of RAM!! can't wait.

Make sure to unlock that sucker and overclock it till it bleeds

Rayder · Jan 1, 2003, 05:48 AM

You got a new CPU too, huh? I just got an XP2100 Palamino/Abit KX7-333R motherboard/PC2700 DDR/WinXP. That's up from my old rig: AMD Athlon 1.33/Abit KT7A-RAID/PC133 ram/Win98se.

I also got a "bonus" upgrade, from an SB Live! 5.1 to an SB Audigy!

So far, I'm

with the transition.

Ain't it fun to go faster, faster, faster?

For my next upgrade, I'm gonna get an XP2400 Thoroughbred CPU because this one is just a loaner from my brother. I'm also considering going from 512megs of PC2700(also loaned) to 1gig of PC2700 so my PC will match the other 2 in the house.

Now I have to start learning to tweak XP. It's my job to tweak the OS's in the house.

Heh, unfortunately I'm already in that situation. Have been since I got into PC's. But, I have a brother that provides me with hardware, so I guess I'm somewhat obligated to tweak at least his PC's when I find a good tweak. Only fair. I mostly just take care of family.

As for friends.......well........I really don't have any. Sad but true.....

I get a kick out of upgrading PC's or surfing the forums, even more than playing games on the PC's or going out anymore. What I really need to do is get off my butt and go to college to become a PC tech "officially".

Jan 2, 2003, 05:36 PM

Update: well... i couldn't goto fry's, so i just ordered 256 megs of ram and an Athlon XP 2100+... i guess really its not a huge difference...

oh well... i did an overnight delivery so i should get it either today or tomorrow... probably tomorrow.

DriveEuro · Jan 2, 2003, 06:16 PM

I can't wait until you mess up something installing the processor general. I just am waiting for it. We all know that something is going to go wrong when you do it.

Jan 2, 2003, 07:27 PM

you're a funny bastrard aren't you

Jan 2, 2003, 07:29 PM

btw, i probably won't overclock anyway. It's just good to know how, and i can guarentee you it won't get hurt when i am putting it in. It's not a very hard thing to put in a processor.

Well, since you're using a K7S5A, I don't really see how you could. Which is not to say that's a bad board. But, still, unless you have a hacked BIOS (yes, they exist for this board), you have no overclocking options.

ok... and i do have an overclocking bios.

Jan 3, 2003, 05:02 PM

just an update... i only have 1 hour to wait. Airborne express guarenteed its delivery for 12:00 noon!!!

DriveEuro · Jan 3, 2003, 05:11 PM

And you see us anxiously awaiting your arrival too? I know how excited some people get, but do ya need to update us?

Jan 3, 2003, 05:11 PM

yes

WyreTheWolf · Jan 3, 2003, 05:31 PM

and?

DriveEuro · Jan 3, 2003, 05:42 PM

15 minutes left. Then we can hear how he botched his install of the CPU

Jan 3, 2003, 07:44 PM

actually... i didnt blotch the installation... it took me about 3 minutes. And amazingly... it arrived RIGHT at 12:00. I couldn't believe it. I love to just look at the speed of everything.

Vampyromaniac · Jan 4, 2003, 10:52 AM

heh nice aint it?

now run some PCMark dood!!

Jan 4, 2003, 03:09 PM

yea i need to install that. I only got 2500 more points on 3d benchmark, which gives me 8000. But that was with the processor just out of the box and the video card not overclocked.

DaSnIpE · Jan 4, 2003, 04:38 PM

Adn the fact that u have a Sis 735 chipset and PC2100 ram, lol, unless u got new stuff

Jan 4, 2003, 05:25 PM

no... i am going to get a new motherboard with the best chipset i can find. And i am going to keep the ram. It is fine. But if the motherboard i get has 3 DDR slots i might get a 512 meg strip. then i will have a GIG!!!

btw, you were the one who was watching the clock when i was the one getting something.

eurolu · Jan 4, 2003, 05:33 PM

my next computer is gonna own all, it'll be done by next sunday, ill give specs then. off DA HOOK!

DriveEuro · Jan 4, 2003, 05:34 PM

OK shmuck, come on. I saw that my clock said 11:45 so I said something...I'm just waiting for something to go wrong. After hearing about the prank phone call you and your kid friends did I have lost a lot of faith in you. And also do you mean that your parents are going to buy you the best motherboard. Because the fact that you are 15 years old you either have NO job or just are making miniumum wage.

Jan 4, 2003, 05:38 PM

ok... number one... you said something about 20 seconds after eurolu, thought i would point that out. Next... i was just kidding about the 15 minutes left. I would have done the same. And as i have said, nothing went wrong with my processor. It's in and it's working fine. Although the heatsink it came with sucks. And also, 2 months from now is my birthday. We have big whole family parties so i get money, and since i am turning 16 i will probably get a lot. So that is how i am planning on getting the best motherboard i can buy (with the money i have)

JavaFox · Jan 4, 2003, 06:08 PM

Don't blow your money on stuff you don't need, general -- you'll just regret it when you have to go off to college with no money!

Jan 4, 2003, 08:52 PM

lol... well, seeing as how i am only a sophmore right now, i don't need to worry about spending $150-$200 on a motherboard.

Vampyromaniac · Jan 4, 2003, 09:03 PM

yeah but think how many lapdances you'll miss out on

ain't nuthin wrong with the SiS735, dood

Jan 4, 2003, 09:16 PM

you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! but you're wrong too... i get lapdances for free. So i think i will stick with my first plan. And before anybody says anything NO i don't mean my mom or my dad or ANY family members.
