Post your computer Specs

Post Reply New Topic

I'm browsing from a 400Mhz G3 (ppc) 1999 iMac with 320MB of RAM and Debian Squeeze.

Yes but it's PowerPC based, so technically whilst a slower clockspeed (and FLOPS rating) it is a underlying superior architecture. Also: PPC based Macs FTW

Yes, but for comparison purposes it's maybe equivalent to an 800MHz single-core Intel... still doesn't compare favorably to your overpowered double 3GHz quad-core.

Then you probably wouldn't like my SPARC system's specs...

MORE powerful than the juggernaut you described above? 16GB of RAM, for crying out loud... and at 1066MHz... I bet that thing even runs KDE4 well.

By far the best machine owned by anyone in my immediate family is my MacBook. 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 RAM. Cheap integrated graphics- GMA x3100. I think that laptop is a tad overpowered- the typical user doesn't need multiple cores or a whole ton of RAM.

The last Mac I loved was my PowerMac G5, man I love that thing.

Anyway hint:

The CPU type in my newest Sparc machine:

It's an UltraSparc T2

don't ask me why I bought it, I don't even know, I don't even need that much power...

I really want a PowerMac G5. Those things had some seriously insance specs for back in the day, and they would still be perfectly adequate general-use machines for at least the next 10 years, perhaps even longer.

...and another year's old thread comes out of the vault...

I got two under the desk, neither is that fancy (no water pipes cooling the thing, aliens didn't assemble it, etc.

1) An ASUS system board, Pentium 4 (I think), 2 gig of memory, 2 HDs, 90G total space, 2 burners, a floppy, and ....that's about it.

2) a dual- core AMD, 2 gig memory, 300g HD, 2 burners, no floppy, 2 missing front plates to cover the HD....

1 monitor, keyboard, and mouse, with a swtichbox.

It serves me...

Approximately half a year actually, but times means nothing to me, for I have a DeLorean.



My Dual G5 still is better than mostx86 machines for video editing,
Example:
Xvid MPEG4 file
upscaled to: 1920x1080
Deinterlaced (can't remeber which di I used)
Quarter Pixel precision
Saturation filtering
Motion blender with edge sharpening
length of video: 1 hour

Time to encode: 1 Hour 9 Minutes (approximately)

Just completely overhauled everything in my computer. A surge killed almost everything in my system. Took forever to install the backup. Glad I did it.

And downstairs, because it is so big it should be transported on a pallet and so heavy it takes a few big blokes to lift, a Sun E4500 with 12 processors and 10GB RAM.

In the garage, a whole bunch of old computers (BBC, Spectrum etc) collected by me and my Dad over years.[/geek boast]

I have 2 computers but I will post the specifications on the one which I'm using the most and it has Linux on it:

Powerbook G3 "Lombard" with Debian Lenny (Linux)
CD-ROM 24X
Harddrive: 40GB Hitachi IDE hdd
RAM: 320 MB

The Powerbook "Lombard" was produced in 1999, which simple math says it's 10 years ago now. It runs Linux just excellent and I have no problems with sound, graphics or whatever, everything just works 24 hours a day. The force of Linux.
