register to win

good luck to everyone, i would love to see one of us win this..

I entered... At having the price of my e-mail address committed to their advertising database.

Hmm, have I already lost?

Their disclaimer says by entering you're waiving your rights to sue them in case something goes wrong- i.e. if they don't 'pay up' :razz:

has anyone besides me looked at the recent advances in PC's ??

i get the magazine monthly for this site, so i see some of it, i am sure that since its a public store, that its not the absolute best machinery, but damn some of it is impressive..

the new 64bit AMD processors, and the new Hyper-threading P4 series.. :eek:

they have MB's with 800Mhz system buses now..

kinda makes you wonder, what they have not released to the public, because the financial portions prevents it..

We're always getting the leftover technology. What you think is new is just what's been done for someone else a while ago just shrunk down for convience. But hey, doesn't bother me.

As for that system, I'm waiting for the new 64bit procs and the new P4's to be time tested by the public before getting one, although I wouldn't object to winning one, just as long as I have a back up PC for emergencies.

Orph, you can buy a PC with 800mhz system bus. you can even overclock it to 1000...

my computer is a p4 2.60 ghz with hyperthreading, and i have an 800mhz FSB on my mobo and i have the new DDR ram which has 4 pipes instead of 2... or was it 2 instead of 1 ... whatever :biggrin: ... my comp pwnz :smile:

Mine charged me for all I was worth just one short year ago...already it looks pitiful :sad: Technology advances sadden me sometimes...I spend all my money on consoles and games instead so I'm constantly a few steps behind.

Aaaargh why can't there be a UK version, that looks like quite a sexy system. Mind you its pointless winning it if all your gonna do with it is play CS, bring on Doom 3 and HL2. I belive that Quake 4 is also being made.

At least your only a few stemps behind Reno.

I'm 5 years behind I've only got a 450 with 128MB SDRAM and a Viper 550 thats using drivers for a TNT so I can get opengl to work on it

Windows compatible?

I'd format that and install Linux.

My computer is about a year and a half old. At the moment it is in dire need of a lot more ram... perhaps I should upgrade from 256 megs to 1 gig (the max my motherboard can handle).

I spend my money on Gamecube games. Lots of 'em. In fact, I'm thinking of casemodding my Gamecube by sticking LEDs everywhere - behind the fans, and the controller ports...

I don't know what's in this computer (it's not mine) but I know it has a very old graphics card (Nvidia TNT Riva) and in the properties window it says it has 256MB RAM and an AMD Athlon 999MHz processor. I know very little about the anatomy of a pc though.
