What do you need to build a PC?

raverjames do you just look for arguments ??

sonny i used to run a Dell p3 8hundo for 4.5 years
never had an issue

bought mine summer of 1999

:slight_smile:

my home desktop isn’t even a pentium. it’s a gateway, celeron 366mhz. it’s ancient and it shows. but my dell laptop is p4 3.0. i just need more memory for the desktop so it’s a bit faster. but other than that, they’re both good computers.

i have tons of pc100 ram…

pc133 ram > *

had mine maxxxxxed out at 768
and like 300gig

No, I look for facts. I have had alot of experience with this. I built computers and CCD systems for the research department here for about a year. I have been through 3 different major manufacturers and only had luck with Sony. However, I have built 5 fast pc’s for the department and not one has failed. If we buy from Dell we have to use their op sys. I dont know where I was looking for an argument. If you tell me I am wrong, then I tell you I am not. What did you expect.

and the saga continues.

so you have been building pc’s for a whole year huh, I take it back you must know everything. :rolleyes:

i’ve been in IT for 6+ years and there are people with more experience than me here, so STFU

And I have no experience in building a PC (not yet anyways). :wavey:

and it’s cool you come here asking questions, not like the other fuckwads that think they know everything because they built “5 fast pc’s”.

ummmmm no, I have been building pc’s since freshman year HS, which will be 9 years this summer. I have been working for the university for a year. She works for an engineering company from what she said in another thread. I have experience with computers being used for engineering applications. She wants to build PCs so I am giving information based on my experience, not only building computers for over 8 years but actually building them for that specific field. I think you are the ones looking for arguments now.

Rof!

:rofl:

i’m sorry mr. badass

You cant read, I built 5 for this department alone. I have built many computers ranging from P1/cyrix level to the latest. You have not helped her at all. All you are saying is buy a factory built pc. I provided links and information. She already said why they want to build their own. Why must you bring drama. Just give her the information she wants without you BS.

Why am I a badass? For providing the info she wanted. I think you guys need the efighting section back. It just spreads elsewhere now.

back on topic. If you need more links or have a question about compatibility, feel free to pm me huskysgirl.
