Should be a *smidge* faster than the P3-700 w/ 256 megs of ram that I'm currently using :cool: Shortly it will get a couple 15.3K SCSI drives in there to do some heavy file churning. The video is little overkill...but it may do some off the clock gaming on occasion ;)

Nice. Not too long ago the department gave me a Dell P4 3.0HT, with 1gb ram and a 15" LCD. Just last week they decided that I should have an 18" LCD instead to utilize the DVI connector on my video card.

An MX 4000? :confused:

Nice rig except for the graphics...but then, you're probably not supposed to be gaming on it.

I'm probably getting a new laptop from work soon :) (next month or so)

Currently got a Dell Latitude C640, P4m 2.0GHz, 256mb, 20gb, 14" SXGA+, Radeon 7500, had it since June.

I reckon the replacement will be a Dell Inspirion 5150, 3.2GHz P4, 512mb, 40gb, FX5200, 15" SXGA+ :cool:

LOL! This reminds me of the time i was assigned to a Dual 2.4ghz Xeon workstation - unfortunately the only program they gave me was Microsoft Office. And i'm a graphic designer.

Needless to say, that didn't work out so well. I was given a Mac eventually. :disgust:

LOL! I'm going to be doing OCR on huge ass PDF files and dumping giant (like 300+ meg) PDF files to DVD for archiving. I'm also going to be doing a lot of data archiving from Fox pro app's with DB's in the 700+ meg range :(

I won't be doing that for a bit, hence the hold off on the high end SCSI drives.

You all suck (yes I'm extremely jealous).

We're stuck using ancient HP Vectra VL (P2/400 running W2K) with 19" Compaq fishbowl monitors.

When we "upgrade" it will probably be to P3/500's ... oh no hold me back :p

Yes but I work in international banking and investigations.

It's a very solid corporate PC but just wish it were a tad faster and I had a nice 19" Trinitron FD CRT.

The state set me up with a P2 machine (no idea how fast) with 128MB RAM. Next upgrade will be a P4. Too bad it won't be soon for me
