Okay guys I bought actually made my Dad buy a PC for me After house burnt.
I had two PC's before my house burnt please tell me which one was better overall
PC 1:
Compaq workstation(all I remeber)
Intel® Pentium® III Processor 866 MHz, 256K Cache, 133 MHz FSB
512 Mb normal ram
Nvidia Quadro 2 pro 64mb vram GPU with a soundcard
16 GB harddrive
Windows XP professional SP3 32bit
Complex Air Cooling
(I think it was a gaming PC from 2000).
2 usb ports
PRICE: £250 in early 2004.
PC2:
Shop built no brand
Intel® Celeron® 2.7ghz
512 Mb normal ram
SG PROsavage DDR (intergrated max vram 32mb)+No directX compat Soundcard
40GB hardrive
Windows xp home SP3 32 bit
No cooling at all (I did not understand the implications of this till recently)
3 Usb ports and 1 US2 port
PRICE: £150 in mid 2008
New/Current PC:
Advent Centurion CPQ9104
Amd® Phenom® 9650 2.3Ghz Quad Core.
4GB DDR2 ram expandable to 8GB max
Ati® Radeon HD® 4350 512mb ddr2 edition vram not 1GB ddr
640GB Hardrive with enhaced speed
Advanced air cooling with support for liquid cooling
8 USB 2.0+1 Firwire+1 E-Sata+1 HDMI and various card slots.
Support for USB 3.0
Windows 7 Home premium
Realteck HD soundcard with DirectX 9+ compatiblity
Hd 20inch LG moniter matches PC as both are Black with Red lighting
Price: £640 and 5 year cover included in early 2010 (When I knew about PC's)
Evaluation:
My first PC was greast overall I could do everything I needed to although sometimes it could freeze or not run certain programs. This was very uncommon I could run most games and productive software. The only con was a very small hardisk. The best part of the PC was its powerful for me but moderate GPU. On the other hand I was somewhat in the dark with the second one it was slow laggy and in many cases unable to run software such as photoshop. The only advantage was a 40GB harddrive. The computer was always overheating and in one case it oveheated froze and currupted the OS, I beleive i was bumped. My current pc would outdo both my old ones put together and then some. I believe it was cheap. It is future proof as being a gaming pc it is easily expandable but it does not support DDR3 even still 8GB ddr2 is beter than 3GB ddr3 I think. I love my current pc it really does things my would ones couldnt dream of e.g. screen recording 3D games seemlessly running Photoshop Office etc.
Please give your views comments ideas.
