Could you give me a quarter of your bandwidth? I promise I'll give it a good use

Trust me, If I knew how, I would. But sadly I don't.

Companies that I recommend, and are in no way being paid by

CPU: AMD64
Graphics: ATI
HDD: Western Digital (SATA 150)
Chipset: Nvidia
Mouse: Logitech

On a motherboard I recommend one with:
1xPCIe slot
Firewire 1394b
USB 2.0
2x or 4xSATA slot with RAID controller

For monitor get a known brand with 5ms delay time.

There are lots of variables like the size of the monitor, the speed of the cpu, the capacity of the HDD, but I think that should be decided by you to your budget.

This is true. Ironically, the nVidia chipsets and ATI graphics are usually a great combo

I'm confused. How can you have ATI and Nvidia? Which is which here? I thought both only did graphics cards...

Aj_ · 06-01-2005, 06:43 PM

Both do chipsets, both do GPUs, ATI actually does hundreds of different things.

My God, woman...you're just an RCA plug implant away from a neural interface!
I've heard of "bandwidth envy", but I never thought it would happen to me. Oh, the shame.

GPU is the graphical processor on the video card but what do you mean when you say "chipset"? Is that also a part of the graphics card? I'm pretty clueless about hardware as you can probably tell...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipset

Basically is a set of specialized chips that include controllers for things like the HDD, onboard sound and video, etc...

ATI, AMD, Intel, Nvidia, VIA are main manufacturers of them, although ATI hasn't been making them for very long, and Nvidia is considered the best in most circumstances.

11Mbit/s is a strange number, is that cable or DSL2?

I think an Anathlon Xp 2600+, a decent motherboard, a 9600XT and 512mb of ram should keep you in the good. Maybe 1gb ram?

My guess is a high speed wireless connection.

Aj_ · 06-02-2005, 10:34 AM

That would be the type of connection with 11Mb/s
