One thing compareable is:
I can watch the porn site at home and can't do it in the pc in work.......of course,the pc at home is much more better!

As soon as I'm out of debt I think I'm going to give AMD another shot with a dual 1.4 gig Athlon system. Dual 1.4 gig TBirds, 1 gig registered DDR, Matrox G450 Dualhead, & hopefully eventually two 18.4" LCD's.

Work PC has been behind for a very long time. When they do the "tech refresh" the PC's are usually a little ahead of the curve, but not much. Then 3mo's later they are way behind.

I have a TPAD w/ PII 366 and 192MB RAM and Win2k. It's maybe 1.5yrs now? It feels SOOOO Slow, but, I don't play games on it so it's not horrible.

I've got a TBird 650 w/ 768MB Ram, Win98SE. The big difference is the HDD speed, 7200 RPM vs like 4000RPM for the laptop drive makes ALL the difference.

I was using a Celery 850MHz but I gave that to my wife so I could play with AMD stuff. I've also got a few other machines that aren't being actively used right now, Celery 450, Dual PII300. I'm feeling the urge to upgrade but nothing's out that I want that I "need" to upgrade.

There's not a whole lot of difference between my systems speed wise except my graphics card at home is faster. However, my work PC has dual monitors and I absolutely love that. I used to have a nice 21" monitor here at work, but I traded it with my boss who wanted it in exchange for duals. In the place I used to work I had to 2 computers with DUAL 21" MONITORS. You talk about desktop area . . .

I use some numerical computer models that requires intensive number crunching, hence the high end systems here at work.

 

[Goldfish]

My home PC is a PIII 700 hooked up to a 768/128 DSL line. My work PC is a Pentium 90 hooked up to a T1, which gets comprable download speeds compared to home, and about 700kbps uploads. The CD-Rom is a 3 cd changer that is broken, it has a combo 3.25, 5.25 drive, an an HP Corrado tape drive in it. Also a 14" monitor.

My work PC isn't a radiator like my home PC is (PIII vs. Athlon 1.4). Living in Florida with huge-ass electricity bills, I wonder why I built an Athlon rig.
