Why do i need a good computer?? -.-?
-
Lol
I want to buy a new computer.
But my my father asks me, what constructive work that you do would require a better comp. You could simply so with the current one.
How to reply him ??!!

i am still surviving with a P4 chipset

i am surviving with a celeron 1Ghz processor....and doing well....Originally posted by allentyb_v2.01:i am still surviving with a P4 chipset -
tell him that your computer is not powerful enough to compile that Alien Detection Software you just programmed
-
wah kaoz power leh you, P3...... what the.... that is like 5 years ago....Originally posted by hiphop2009:i am surviving with a celeron 1Ghz processor....and doing well.... -
tell him u need superior computer to play lots of games so you will stay home n be a good boy.

Get a lappy... Say you need one that you can move...

my one is less than 1ghz ok.. mine uses another unit lolOriginally posted by hiphop2009:i am surviving with a celeron 1Ghz processor....and doing well.... -
wtf? your graphic card is geforce 2 ah? if so, you need to change a new computer already,Originally posted by davidche:my one is less than 1ghz ok.. mine uses another unit lol -
Man... you guys are good. My P3 800Mhz died in like 2004.
-
maybe u can ask urself what do u really need it for?
If its for pure surfing and chatting, then.... -
Maybe you tell him that your old Operating System is no longer supported and is now a security risk. It's to dangerous to do online banking or to do any financial transactions. The chance of getting a piece of malware or spyware is too high.
The new OS requires a much more powerful computer to run it. Furthermore, a new PC is quite affordable now compared to the past. Also, LCD monitors draw less power and emit less radiation than CRT monitors. -

mine is 1Ghz celeron, 512MB SDRAM, ATI1600 graphic (256MB). still ok la. but new games cannot play liao. haha....already 5 years plus. still working strong as i do maintainence and upgrades it. from Window ME to XP. haha... -
Don't feel bad.Originally posted by hiphop2009:nice.

I have a AMD64x2 2800 with 2GB of RAM, 2x160GB HDD, and a Nvidia 6800GT and I can't play the newest games either.
I can have many windows open when surfing pron though. :p -
u cannot use photoshop, too lag, so must change
u cannot do video editing, cos too lag
frequent hanging
risky, later hardware spoil cannot retrieve data
im on 2.00ghz amd athlon XP, 1gb ram, Nvidia geforce 4 MX with AGP 8X, running strong, from ME to XP, regular maintainece is the key to long life.
btw, those who have my msn noes that i am 24/7 online
my com can take it with 4 IE window, dreamweaver, photoshop, itunes, WLM -
Ask him what constructive work would require him to buy a new car.Originally posted by davidche:Lol

You tell him
1. Servicing an old computer is difficult and adds up to high maintenence costs
2. A newer computer, especially the Core2Duos or a Laptop, uses significantly less power than a pentium III 1Ghz, or other processors when judged by a power to processing ability ratio
3. New computers are dirt cheap these days. $1000 is enough to get you a computer, although without fanciful graphics card lar. -
Tell him you want to sign up for a game designing course that needs a high end computer. LOL
If you are really interested, then it's OK. Multimedia designing courses also need a relatively good computer as well, as those apps are known to eat a lot of resources.
A lamer reason would be that if you get the latest one, you save on upgrades. You can use it for a long time before buying another one? Tio boh? -
Im using pentium 2, 32mb ram, 233mhz & windows 98.

I noticed ya, that last time manufacturers or dell used to specify the type of processor when selling pc like P4 3.8ghz, or P4 extreme edition... now they just label it core duo t5700, core duo t5800.... they dun say the speed anymore. Is it because nowadays the speed become stardard liaw huh? Thats why not worth stating the speed anymore?
-
Because you can tell the speed from the model number.
-
It's because they don't want consumers to point at a Q6600 and shout "eiyer 2.4 Ghz nia. My P4 3.06 Ghz lei." Even AMD had to label their earlier processors with a number, which represents its ability to perform as well as an Intel counterpart with the clock speed of that number, due to the impression among most consumers back then that a higher clock speed means a better processor. It's only true when you are comparing processors of the same series/family, because there are many other factors that will affect a CPU's performance.Originally posted by Really mama?:I noticed ya, that last time manufacturers or dell used to specify the type of processor when selling pc like P4 3.8ghz, or P4 extreme edition... now they just label it core duo t5700, core duo t5800.... they dun say the speed anymore.

I always think amd chips are dodge. Some chips run at 1.4ghz but they overclock and sell it as 1700+ . The + makes me think this is confused chips. Intel ones some are underclocked...like 3.0ghz downclock to 2.8Ghz.
Anyway as a consumer, I would like to see information at a glance. I dun wan see the chip and think wtf is this number stand for. I have simple needs nia, if the chip can play Crysis at high settings then good enough

I think you have slightly misunderstood the definition of overclocking.Originally posted by Really mama?:I always think amd chips are dodge.

From Answers.com:
So when an Intel CPU leaves the factory specified as a 2.8 Ghz, it is a 2.8 Ghz. Maybe it can be ran at 3.0 Ghz (that's where overclocking comes in), but if Intel labels it as a 2.8, it's not underclocking.
Overclock
To speed up the computer beyond the manufacturer's specifications in order to run faster. This is accomplished by changing a jumper on the motherboard or by changing the clock crystal. The motherboard and CPU may or may not be able to handle the increased speed. Enhanced cooling systems are typically added when a CPU is overclocked. See mod, multiplier lock and CPU cooler.
Same goes for AMD. Their CPUs are not overclocked in any way until they reach the hands of the end-users. I'm rather curious where you got that impression from.
Regarding the model number, I've posted a link in my previous post about it. The number is there basically for ease of comparison when choosing between an Intel and an AMD. If you choose to believe that those numbers are faked to bring up sales, you can always google for benchmarks done by others on those OC forums.
