Computer Specs

[hoarp001]

No, they did make a dual 2.7. Now they have stoped the G5 processors and started making the Mac Pro which looks the same as the G5 but has the intel processors. Only released a week ago...

I picked up a very sweet deal a couple weeks ago for $300.00 Canadian (or $267 US or 141 GPB)

AMD Sempron 3100+ 1.8GHz 1600MHz System Bus
512MB DDR, 400Mhz (PC3200)
100GB HD (7200 rpm, 2MB Cache)
DVD +/-RW, 16x Multi-Format Double Layer
NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Video chipset (128MB)

Plus a 1 year old Dell 19" Monitor free from my brother

Not exactly cutting edge, but for my purposes it's quite nice, especially for the price. A nice upgrade from my 7 year old 900Mhz Athlon, 128MB RAM, 32MB NVidia Graphics card, 30 and 40 GB HDs. Hard to believe that it was cutting edge at the time and cost $1600 Canadian.

Specifications don't really matter... the best computer in the world will be obsolete in 6-12 months.

What matters is whether the computer does what you need it to, and will continute to do so for a reasonable length of time. Can you do your work on your computer? Is it secure and safe from viruses? Does it play the streaming media you want to listen to or watch? Does it play the games you want to play? Does it have space to store all your photos and music? That's all that matters.

I have a 1997-vintage PowerBook 3400 that still earns its keep playing streaming media like web radio programmes in my bedroom and working as a print server. At a stonking 240 MHz and with a staggering 60 MB of RAM to play with, it's stats don't look too good anymore. But back in the day, it was the fastest laptop in the world. Ultimately, focusing on the specifications of a computer -- instead of what you create and share with it -- is, frankly, rather like worrying about the size of your sexual organs instead of trying to be a better lover.

Neale

Well put, wasn't expecting sexual organs to be mentioned, just about choked on my coffee, laughing.
Yes I agree, computer equipment/hardware should suit your needs.
As my ICT tutor quoted "as computer technology advances so to do the wants and needs begin to blur"

 

[Flumpus]

Since I don't play games anymore, my setup does quite nicely...

I've got a 17" G5 iMac, 1.8ghz w/ 1.5gb ram, with a Sony 17" LCD hooked up as a second monitor.

Then I've got an older G4 1ghz 15" Powerbook with 768mb ram. It's old (not as old as Neale's Powerbook ), but isn't slow at all for normal web browsing and everyday stuff.
