Just wondering who has the fastest system...Not based on scores - but on components and overclocking. I dont think i've seen anyone with an Fx-53 here.

I wonder how I stack up :)

P3 1ghz
256 Rd Ram
Asus Mobo
200gig 7200rpm HDD
52x Cdrw
Ati AIW 9800 Pro 128mb
Audigy 1 Sound Card

That video card must not be too effective given that your ram and CPU can't keep up lol.

My system is a laptop
Eurocom d500p...nothing special

How do you define "fastest", if not based on scores? Mine's the fastest for getting all the stuff loaded with all my personal settings when I turn it on. Anyone else's computer would suck at doing that for me :)

Damn, that thing is speedy compared to my rig.

P3 733
256MB PC600 RDRAM
Dell POS motherboard


Basically, my computer is a POS, but it's all I have been able to afford in the past 5 years. Got it in '99, and it was the best of the best at that time.

I could have been a contender, but I just throw that AMD 486DX2/66 chip and mobo to support in the trash. :D

Tell me about it. I've been thinking about adding a stick of 256 rd ram in their to see if I can at least improve the fps in games.

Do you think upgrading to a athlon xp 2600 w/mobo + 512ram be a better idea..

I might win the contest for being on both ends of the spectrum.

P2-450 is my main rig running 24/7. Wife and kid use it for AOL, and writing book reports. I use it for Quicken. One time, I ran a folding program on it, and it took 3 days to fold 1 unit and almost didn't make the cut off time.
New rig is a P4 3.4 @ 3.6 with a Leadtek 5900XT. This machine will replace the old one in a couple weeks after I tweak it. But I'm going to keep the old one around because it has utilities I want to keep that only run in Win98.
I could have bought a 3.4EE, but didn't think it was worth the money. So I stayed with the 3.4c and I'm very happy with it.

no, you'd probably lose on both sides...my old machine was a PENTIUM 166@200MHz :p
My main rig isn't as good as yours, but I can guarantee that SOMEONE has an FX-53 on watercooling with an x800 and U320 SCSI array.

I've got 2 systems...

The first is my main one. It's got:

P4 2.8C @ 3.22
MSI 865PE Neo2 board
1 GB DDR400 dual-channel
GeForce FX 5900XT 128 Meg
Logitech Cordless Desktop MX
Audigy 2

The other is my old Win98 PC, useful for games that refuse to run under XP:

PIII 850
384 Megs PC133
ATX Socket 370 mobo, with AGP slot
GeForce 2 MX 32 Meg
Creative Vibra 128 sound card

(As you can see, I'm something of an Intel, nVidia and Creative Labs fan...
:p I'm certainly no 'fanboy' though, as I've owned AMD based systems, and had ATi graphics cards.)
