Re: What about 8-way Gary Wheeler8-Oct-02 4:05 Gary Wheeler 8-Oct-02 4:05  We use an Intel server box with up to 8 Xeons, 4 Gb RAM, as a glorified print buffer. Of course, it's a print buffer for a $2.5M ink jet printing system that prints 1000 feet per minute (roughly 17 feet of paper per second). When we got our first one in the lab, we sacrificed a virgin co-op on it to properly inaugurate it...

Christian Graus6-Oct-02 18:26 Christian Graus 6-Oct-02 18:26  It's sad, at work I get a 400 MHz machine, at home I have a 550, a 700 and a 2 Gig. Plus two Amigas, at least THEY are slower than my work machine. Christian Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle.

And I feel no need for a more powerful machine I have a PIII 667mhz with 256 MB RAM with Windows XP and also feel no need to upgrade. I do quite a bit of graphics work too and it works perfectly fine. Sure I might like a bigger HD (currently have 20gig) but that is about it.

All thos Megahertzes to waste... I'm running a P4-1.7 with 512 megs of RAM. My boss spoiled me with a new one. It even plays UT 2k3 very nice. Greets, Martin Re: Slowest to date.... Elrond7-Oct-02 0:50 Elrond 7-Oct-02 0:50  All of you guys are lucky. My PC is 850Mhz, and that's OK, but with only 128Mo RAM, that's really bad for a development PC. Just loading VC++ gets me close enough to that . If I open almost any extra tool, I get over it... Speed is not every thing, and oftenI have to wait for a few second before my PC swap to another application Computers have enabled people to make more mistakes faster than almost any invention in history, with the possible exception of tequila and hand guns. - Carl Gundlach Re: Slowest to date....

I've got this thing at home with my 733 PIII/256MB pc starting VC++ and MS Word takes ages to accomplish if I compare it with the PC @ work. I'm glad my boss gave me a P4... Megahertzes are good!

For example, I did download Monsters, Inc. months ago, but I also bought it last week when it came out on DVD. If that's legit or not is probably a matter for discussion. Most of the stuff I get on mp3 is stuff that is OOP ( I like obscure 80's hair bands, so sue me ), and the ROM's are mostly really old arcade games and stuff you simply cannot buy, like C64 and Amiga games. Strictly speaking, and in a legal sense, I guess the answer is no, but I'm not downloading movies as an alternative to buying them, I'm just speeding up the process when I'm dying to see something.

If you own an original CD you may have one copy of it for you personal use, but if you don't or if you distribute one or more songs from the CD its illegal. That's where they sewing eachother for. If you send a MP3 to a friend they try to make you hang for it. Even when your friend has got the original too. I download movies too, but when the DVD/CD comes out I buy the original.

It's a ghost'd test machine which I use to test installs but it's almost antique. Smithsonian should be calling me any day now. Todd Smith Re: Slowest to date....

I can prove it.
