Let me see if I've translated this right... Boddy is in Cardiff (or maybe Newport) and ecthelion wants to know what the local female population is like for sex.

Ecthelion, you are one backward fool if you don't know the Welsh bunnies go like rabbits. Shame on your ignorance.

No, a great amount of our military stock (tanks and rifles) are German. The G-36 is German, made by H&K.

Also buying a laptop around the exact same time:

Intel i855E-based motherboard
512MB DDR266
Radeon Mobility 9600 64MB
802.11a/b/g wireless
IBM ThinkPad (T40?)



I will be looking at a similar setup around the same time...although I would like a colossal monitor too (I'll stick with a CRT, probably about 22") for all my current excel and database stuff, plus, big monitors are cool No need for a laptop for me. We are not all made of money you know, unlike your parents

Below the belt. I would say anyone on Apolyton is rich compared to the majority of the world's population who slave 18 hours a day just to survive.

I can't afford either setup or anything even close (i'm still looking forward to a CPU >1GHz) but I don't go all green eyed with jealously everytime I see a nice peice of hardware.

It's not what you've got - it's what you do with it.

And you can both shove SATA where the sun don't shine. SCSI3 rocks.

I make one post back and I get flamed so promptly. You forget that Asher is a spoilt mummy's boy

Besides I expect my car is worth far more than both of those computers combined, so quite why I would be jealous I don't know...although I would like a similar setup soon. And SCSI is just too expensive...

Well, I guess we all have our faults. Call that a flame? I'm surprised you'd feel more than gently toasted.

Personally I find SCSI very cheap, but then I don't buy it brand new. I buy tested and warrantied stuff from ebay.

Chances are, if its going to last 30 days, it will last a lot longer. OK, I admit I make do with small (tiny compared to 200Gb) hard drives - but they so fast!!!!

It's seems a shame to have a speedy processor and shackle it to a treadmill. For me, having a slow processor ain't so bad - OK most recent games are still out of the equation BUT it's a pretty responsive desktop for day to day stuff.

Hey, f*ck you, I'm paying for it all by myself. Just like the last computer.

I'm working two jobs, so take your 'tude and shove it.

And hey, maybe you would have some money if you didn't quit your school and leave it with an utterly useless degree, stumbling around aimlessly whacking people with your walking stick and looking for a job, any job...

The PC as it's speced out right now will come to $2400CDN including tax for where I get it from..which is like $1550US. Not a bad deal for a top of the line rig...The case itself is $150US.

I'm going to line the case with industrial soundproofing foam, too, should lower the noise by 5-10dB...

Actually, new details tell us that the ALUs aren't double-pumped in the P4 line -- there are just two 16-bit ALUs that operate in parallel. The "10GHz" thing would be "effective", but it'd be a 10GHz 16-bit ALU technically.

Not a bad deal indeed.

What kind of case is it?

I got an Aopen H700 when I upgraded a month ago (along with an Intel 865G, P4 - 2.40c, 1 GB DDR-400, and ATi Radeon 9500).
