I was wondering about the specs not adding up also.
intel 915 - maybe 815?
dual 1.9 - from the device manager shot?
128mb sdram

Looks interesting???
 
I find it interesting that on my numerous Intel systems both the System Properties description and Device Mangler both have the (R)egistered trademark symbols. Also my descriptions line up with the other information's left justification.

Plus the 2x1.9Ghz P4s... It's not a Dual CPU rig (no-one, even the most idiotic system builder, would buy 2 CPUS and only 128Mb of RAM), and the slowest P4 with HT was 2.4Ghz.

It's a Photochopped shot of a more normal P4 system.

It's got to be a regular user... If this was someone genuinely trying to fool us then they would have done a much better chop job. That one appears to have been done in as little time as possible.

I'm still finding it quite entertaining though... The way some people are still attempting to take him seriously... :lol:
 
This kid is definately an Idiot, or a Lying Idiot. Because I've seen him posting things asking about TOTALLY different gear that he's running, but it never says anything about certain systems, Like the one post asks about enabling HDR on a 6600GT, another one says he's running 512MB DDR2 Ram, And he asks if it's DDR2 -.-' Now he's saying his system has 128mb DDR ram, after claiming it had SD, and his "cp asemblr" lied to him. He's lying to us. Not too bright, are ye? :)
 
Yo, just get a new computer...Put the old graphics card in a AGP/PCI-E mobo such as AsRock whatever it's called. You'll save some money there 😀
 
I agree with fanis. (as per above, and far above)

No point upgrading from one AGP platform to another AGP platform just for the video card.

Increase RAM to 1 GB (1024 MB). - The Intel i900 series supports current generation memory, and large amounts of it, use this to your advantage before Socket AM2 is released, as RAM prices are good now, and will rise around July.

Replace HDD with a 80 GB 7,200 rpm model with 8 MB cache (vs that 15 GB low performance HDD you have now). Using either the ATA100/133, or SATA (+ NCQ) interface. Go SATA if you have the plugs on your board and get a 'real professional' to port your OS + apps to the new HDD (unless you are familar with the procedure, or feel like doing a large data backup, re-installing everything including Windows, then restore data job).

The i915 is not that bad with PCIe x16 Graphics it just isn't as good as other chipsets / platforms are.

Consider CPU drop-in upgrade - Depending on your current CPU, etc

Double post gets me no extra post counts so here:
http://www.asrock.com/product/939Dual-SATA2.htm
Board is called the Asrock 939Dual-SATA2

=============================

Someone please get him to download SANDRA:
http://www.sisoftware.co.uk - Just the demo version.

...and CPU-Z while he is at it. 14.4 kbps dial-up or not, this is possible to do.

He might be underclocking a Pentium 4 with HT to 1.9 GHz by having his FSB set too low for example.

Memory benchmarks and Mainboard Information will exact all the details we need. (Type, speed, quantity, etc of his RAM, his actual chipet details, etc).

Heck, just knowing which mainboard he has would be a NICE START !

:arrow: Open the box, look under video card for white printed text, it will have the brand and model of the mainboard you are using. We really need to know that to help.
 
Why do you guys keep suggesting crap to this idiot?

Because, despite what I like to think 😛, I wasn't born with IT / Computer knowledge.

I figure with the small army of people here, maybe we can 'pimp his rig' as Mad Mod Mike tends to say. 8)

Anyway, we need a 'single flag' cause to rally behind, even if it is a lost cause. 😛

I didn't think about the 'slowest' either, I automatically thought HT since I've seen it so often on my home and work rigs, but didn't thin about the fact that it wasn't until the 2.8 it was added and then brought into the 800mhz 2.4 and 2.6s. That's a dead giveaway there, unless one thing and I won't say what it is because I'm not helping anyone wriggle out of this kind of mess.

That was my feeling.

Yep, or someone who thought no one would be able to tell (heck I smell GOOD jobs, bad ones reek like week-old fish!).

After that first wrestling post I contemplated making him the first victim of the 'ignore' button, but thought he'd just end up going away. Seems I was too optimistic, some people just crave attention I guess. Looking at the previous posts they all seem like cries for attention from someone without outside activities/friends.

"iz Quad ati x1900 xt croosfire iz better than quad 7900gtx sli.which one i buy.i have a loads of money."

lol, take your "loads of money," and buy a new computer. I hope you get a feeling of satisfaction acting like a complete idiot. You obviously lack any real knowledge in reference to computers; you may think that you're funny or possibly intelligent as you write this bs, but we all know that you're not. You use this false identity and act like a moron because you enjoy looking back at your comments and realizing that you know more than you've written, but you don't realize that your knowledge is actually very limited and you feel uncomfortable engaging in serious discussion. If you are serious then learn to read and spell, and stop being so adamant over things you know nothing about.
 
Yea. He's a newbie but he understands PC's and he making a fun of US who's trying to help him. Anyway his rig doesn't make sense. WIGGER!!!
 
Everyone please don't waste your time replying his useless rants. Your just encouraging him. This kid is a disgrace. First off even my 70 Year old grandmother doesn't use a PC that old. You can get a way better PC for $299 with 512 mb ram. The simplest advice is to tell him to stop shopping at Goodwill and buy a new PC. It wouldn't cause that much and he would be able to use the x850 XT with minimal bottlenecks. And Please don't associate this kid with anyone black :lol: . This kid lives in the suberbs and watches too much MTV, He's a disgrace to everyone black or white, simply a retard out for some laughs on this forum.
