how nice is your computer

[snoorkel]

I just picked up a nice antique iMac (Bondi Blue RevB, which means souped up video processing for that era) for a nice price and I'm finding that it also parts out nicely too. Gonna replace the memory battery in it and do a local network with my antique Win 98 machines just to check out that famous iMac cross-platform capability.

Do those still use AppleTalk, or is that a relic of OS 9 and earlier?

I don't really know how nice my computer is but I think it's like a year and a half old and it's an i-mac (the smallest screen you can get) so i think it's pretty chillchilller for whatever i am using a conputer that is mybrothers now anyways. but next semseter i think i get macbook pro so maybe we will see what i am doing....

I'm not sure, actually. This is the first iMac I've ever had--my first Apple was a II. I'm still trying to start with a clean drive on Bondi. Just discovered that the OS didn't like the drive partitioned and I'm gonna have to start reinstallment all over again.

use OS 9, it will be more fun and nostalgic than early OS X and possibly faster, definitely faster if you're trying to install recent OS X

Ya, that's what I was told by its previous owner. It came with OS 8 but I got both OS 9 and OS10 disks...and so OS 9 it will be. As soon as I remove the partition I made.

I forget what parts I put in my rig D:

When I'm done with my computer in a couple of months you can have it.

Mine's pretty decent, Core i5 2500k OC'd to 4 GHz and 8 gigs of ram

So sweet.   

I got a new one.
  Core i7 and  8 gigs ram.

i've never understood how someone could forget this

it seems like something i put so much thought into and engrave into my mind

Yeah.

Sometimes I forget the model number of my motherboard. But things like CPU model number, motherboard manufacturer + chipset, gpu # + PCB manufacturer, HDD capacities, rpm, and manufacturer, and ram capacities and speed should not be forgotten.

  Uh....
Intel Core i7-2600 processor(8mg cache, 3.4 GHz)
8 GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 4x2GB
Nvidia GeForce GT 545 1GB GDDR5
Serial ATA II RAID with dual 500GB hard drives

What else?

I forgot to post this back in December when I got a new case and more RAM.

I have an E8400 @3GHz (p sure it's underclocked to 3) with a gygabyte mobo, gtx9800+, 640GB @ 7200 RPM WD, and 4GB RAM

I don't anything more specific. idk why I assumed that's what you guys mean. I'm sodum

Everything is stock. Err, actually I think I underclocked.

I've been using mint as my main OS but I still have win7 for gaming and stuff
idk for a laptop it's pretty kickass, but it's so large and impractical. i've been flirting with the idea of selling it and getting a netbook and a desktop instead
