So My computer blew up last night...

[audioimpactxx]

Woke up with my computer dead this morning, NOT COOL.

I do abuse it, as it's on 24/7 for the last 2 years pretty much, and it has taken care of me well.

Old Computer (Custom Build)

2 AMD 64 Dual Core Processor

4 Gig's DDR2 RAM

320GIG HD

1GIG Video Card

New Computer

Quad Core AMD @ 2.8

8 GIG RAM DDR2

1TB HD

1 GIG VIdeo Card

Spent most of the day dealing with data transfer, and building the new one up, but I am glad I was forced, this one is a beauty! It will allow me to process orders that much faster //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

virtually identical to my custom comp, but i only have 512mb graphics.

been running 24/7 for going on 4 years now, i wonder how much it has left in it.

new computer sounds SICK though

Out of curiousity how much do you have invested in new computer? I have been considering building one for the hell of it just to say i built one

Thanks man, it runs great. Until I can get all the business stuff off this Hard Drive I am booting on the old one, but it is still wicked fast, I can't imagine the new one.

Thats sad. Most of your price there was 8Gbs of RAM you will never touch running anything.

Render some HD video with effects and then try again.

Also, I hate to say it but based on the way you posted your specs I will assume your computer benchmarks like shit.

Doubt that, I got 8GB of DDR2 for $60, and its high end RAM too.

My Core 2 Quad is faster I am sure and it runs at a 400MHz disadvantage, AMD was kicking Intel's *** from about 1999 to 2007 but since then its been all Intel again.

I never posted specs to anything. Ive been doing auto cad since 2002 on machines built specifically for 3d rendering and Ive never touched more than 4Gbs.

When? In the 1900's? The cheapest 8Gb RAM kit is $250. $600-$250 = $350. Thats almost half of the entire computer build which I said. Your statement proves nothing other than the fact that you have no idea what your talking about. Even if you bought 2x4Gb kits thats still $160 plus a performance hit over a full 8Gb kit since its no longer ECC or dual channel capable which would be very important while rendering 3d video if that is the case.
