H2 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I just bought myself a new PC and wondered what other people have? I bought a Mesh Matrix Pro 965 Nero 3.4 GHz Phenom processor. Seems to be pretty quick. What have you got, how good is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Mywords Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I bought a Tiko 386DX: 40Mhz Processor, 4MB RAM, 120MB HDD. It came with a HP black & White 300dpi printer. All for the sum of ?1926!! That was back in 1990. It's had 1 or 2 upgrades since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Spacey Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Silly question, when it says about dual core processors, when it says you have 2 running at 2.66ghz or 1.6ghz in mrmarkus1981's case, do you add them together to get the total? or is that not how it works. You see my logic though(i hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_Mywords Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ta, so its so that you can run two programs without slowing either down? Basically, yes. There are a number of background processes also that run on your PC that the multiple cores take care of, making the PC run alot smoother. I've currently got an AMD Phenom II 955 BE..... 4 Cores running at 3.4Ghz. Great for searching for rooftops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Spackler Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 To anyone thinking of getting a new PC or upgrading look into eyefinity technology http://sites.amd.com/us/underground/products/eyefinity/Pages/eyefinity.aspx It's pitched at gamers but if you do alot of PC based work having two monitors is s^%t hot. You put your browser, spotify, email or whatever on one monitor and your work on the other. If for instance you are working on developing a web page you can be programming it in dreamweaver (or whatever) and load the results in the browser in the other monitor without having to switch windows. I have it going in Windows 7 and it all works amazingly. Windows remembers which monitor you like to have each application in but it's simple to switch it. It really helps productivity. Windows 7 is great but this eyefinity thing is one the best PC enhancements in a good while. Makes your workstation look like something out of the matrix n'all.
