roomate got a new computer since dell can't fix his old one over the phone

[toant103]

his old computer is a dimension 8200 with 512GB RDRAM, 2.53 Ghz, 80GB, 2x dvd burner, ti4200, zip drive

they sent him the 8400 with 3.4, 512 ddr2, 160gb sata, x300 pcie, audigy 2.

Here's the kicker, he upgraded his old 8200 with the 9800 ati radeon pro and now he can't use it with the new system since it's pcie. hahah,

Seems like he have to get a good pcie card to play doom3 in his new machine.

well the new rig totally beats the crap out of the old one, so selling the 9800pro before its price drops and get a X800pro is not that much of a problem.

serves him right for going intel.

That's quite a lot of ram. Can I have his old system? 😀

he said he don't like AMD because it's much slower since intel has higher MHZ. he got brainwashed wth all the mhz hyped. No need to explain anything to this dude.

i'd have to say that 512mb of RDRAM is worth quite some money, POS or not.

actually, he has 1GB of that stuff. But when he bought the system, it only came with 512 so he upgraded to 1GB
