Then why did you seperate them ? Actually they are, just not by everything, programs like photoshop, and other large photo, 3d maniplutation, or video encoding/decoding software will make use of it. 2 or more processors in windows make use for real multitasking, where one CPU can encode your video and the other can play music and write a word doc. Vista and SMP linux kernels take advantage of the multiple processors even if the programs themself dont. The onyl way programs will start taking advantage is if we start moving over to more multiple processor machines.

3.51Ghz Core2Duo baby :-)

Way too fast to count (above 3.5 GHz)
4GIG RAM duals

My new system is well run in now :)

Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600) @ 2.4Ghz
8MB L2 cache, 1066MHz FSB

ASUS P5K3 Deluxe motherboard
Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb DDR3
4 x 500GB Western Digital hard disks - RAID 10 (0+1) = 931GB usable space
2GB Kingston RAM
22" Widescreen Acer TFT

It's great for stuff like Adobe Premiere/Photoshop and I play Battlefield 2142 at the highest settings which is nice.

I was going to search the forums, I'm sure we've been posting amazing computer specs for years in Chit Chat now. They just look antiquated in retrospect!

Is there a slow as molasses option, cause mine would go in that catagory.

LOL, I repair computers all the time, and I tell them that the speed depends on the operator and only matters when you're a Graphic Designer/3D Renderer/Video Producer... but for the rest any is enough...

[or Gamer :P]

I have an AMD Athlon Thunderbird Model C running at 1.4Ghz (overclocked from 1000Mhz) with 512MB of ram. Built this box back in 2000 or 2001...really should upgrade but she's still running fast so I see no reason to do so.

Intel Centrino 2.0GHz Dual Core. Full specs here: Brand New Dell Inspiron 1520 Notebook if anyone's interested.

;_; I don't know how you survive on that thing anymore.

I'm running a AMD x2 5600 on my new pc and a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo in my macbook

Computer speed isn't dependant on the CPU, other factors make it "fast" as well. As for me, I'm still running an Intel 2.8GHz "Northwood" HT processor from a few years back coupled with 1GB DDR RAM. Still pretty fast.

Oh very true, but even by todays standards a 1.0ghz chip from 2000~ ish is slow.

I can't be bothered to read this thread, but it's a silly question. It should be "How fast is your computers cumulative clock speed?" :)

You'd be surprised.

I work on some peoples computers that are less then a year old...mine still runs circles around them in most tasks. They could probably encode video quicker than I can...but for day to day stuff I'm still leaving them in the dust.

It's all about taking care of your stuff and tweaking your software to get the most out of the hardware. I emulate PSX games on this thing at 60fps so I'm happy for now. :D

IM happy if I can get adobe and windows media player to go at the same time.

But you should know I'm not most people either :P

Very, very, very fast "custom built"

1.7 if I am not mistaken. It's a laptop I got 2 years ago, that's still running strong :D

I think my desktop is a 1.86 GHz, but that's a really low end eductational macintosh. And this one is a 2.16 GHz Macbook.

I am currently running an AMD 64-X2 dual core 5000+ rated at 2.6 GHZ per core. The system has 3 GB of RAM and a NVIDIA 8600 GT GPU with 256 MB DDR3 memory. System works for me. Windows Vista gives me a base score of 5.2. Not the best but definitely good for now.

3 GB of RAM, are you sure you're not going a little overboard? :p

If you heard a G5, that what I'm running :D

It is what the system came with out of the box. Since the entire system only cost me $900 (after adding a video card), I didn't complain. But I have found that large world games like World of Warcraft and City of Heroes work best with at least 2 GB of RAM. Command & Conquer 3 doesn't complain either. Having 3 GB of RAM also allows me to have up to 1 GB shared with my video card for extra texture storage that then reduces the load on my hard drive and increases the responses of the games. All 5 of my computers have at least 2 GB of RAM though, even the laptop. I wouldn't purchase a computer with less than that these days.

However, I can increase it to 4 GB with my 32-bit version of Vista. If I switch to the 64-Bit version of Vista, the motherboard will support 8 GB of RAM (4 slots of 2 GB DDR2 modules).

Anyone think I need to upgrade? LOL

It's not the best computer, but it works for me.

What I like best is my monitor :)

I don't use the monitor speakers... They suck.

The speakers on my Viewsonic monitor suck as well. Have to have dedicated speakers.

As you can tell, it's a work / multimedia (audio) PC. Newer games run well, but it's not cutting edge.

Here are two messy pics from about April of the workstation:

And finally, a recent screenshot:

I'm running XP Pro-x64...no Vista for me yet due to too many of my programs won't run right under it yet...strange how they'll run under x64 but not Vista...

...yes, it is truely a beast and came with a beastly price tag but will pay for itself this year in the productivity it gives me...oh and I'm also running 2 SyncMaster 24" widescreens that run at 2ms, 3000:1 at 1680 x 1050.

how can i check my computer speed ?? lolz i dont know

In Windows the simplest way is to press winkey+break. Or you can press winkey+r and type dxdiag into the run box and press OK.

I just built my new setup! Waiting to overclock it this weekend actually, got a nice liquid cooling system arriving tomorrow :D Here are my computers specs as of right now...

Raidmax Smilodon Case
700w Raidmax RX-700SS ATX Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 CPU
ASUS P5N32-E 680i Motherboard
2gb Mushkin Xp2-8500
BFG 640mb 8800GTS OC'ed out the box to 580mhz (wanted the GTX but wasn't in stock at the time so I grabbed the GTS up, new card comes out in november anyways so it's worth not buying the GTX right now)
160gb Western Digital Caviar (for stability when overclocking)
2xLG dual layer 18x DVD RW Drives
Thermaltake Maxorb CPU Cooler (totally amazing!)
Windows Vista 32bit

Some pics of my setup... wiring is all a mess still since I am waiting on some controllers and more lighting to arrive

But yea check the pics out!
