A local company here sells computers and on the website it is listing their fastest computer. The add says that if you can make a faster computer, then the owner will pay you $500. Here is the computer:
CasEdge Mid-Tower Case / 300 Watt ATX Power Supply
· ASUS P4T Motherboard AGP4X / 400 MHz FSB
· 1.7 GHzIntel Pentium 4 Processor
· 256 MB RDRAM (PC800) 2GB Max
· 2x20 GB IBM 7200 RPM Ultra ATA/100 Hard Drive
· Promise Fastrak 100 RAID Controller
· Toshiba 16X/48X DVD/CD-ROM Drive w/ WinDVD Software
· 64MB DDR GeForce3 Ultra AGP4X Video Card
· Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! Value Sound Card
· 56K USRobotics v.90 Data/Fax Modem
· 19" FD Trinitron G910 ADI Digital PnP Monitor
· Cyber Acoustics Flat Panel Stereo Speakers and Subwoofer
· Microsoft Internet Keyboard / Microsoft Intellipoint Mouse
· Windows 98se with License & CD
and here is the promise:
"This is the system that I personally use. If you come to my house you will
always find this system right on my desk and always in use. You have seen
my commercials so you already know I'm a little bit crazy and this system is
designed just for me. This system is only intended for serious computer
enthusiasts and rich people that don't really care about the price tag they
just want the fastest. Notice that it has 2 hard drives in a raid 0
stripped configuration. Is that ridiculous or what? Hey, it's the fastest
you can get though, even faster than SCSI 160 Hard drives. Just the video
cards I use in my system almost always cost over $400 alone. Not to mention
I always over clock everything as fast as it will go and still run stably.
This system is almost guaranteed to depreciate hundreds of dollars a month
and you will find something new in it almost every week. I don't intend to
sell many of these but for wealthy computer enthusiasts this is the ticket.
Dan the laptop man has one on his desk at home so we can always laugh when
our competitors try to say they sell fast computers. This is the fastest
windows based computer system on the planet (other than the ones with AC
units big enough to cool a K-Mart that only run for 10 seconds) If AMD made
the fastest system then this system would have an AMD in it but Intel is
still and has always been the speed king (I have my own testing lab so I
don't have to take other peoples word for it because I know the truth) so
Intel it is. This system is so fast that I will gladly pay anyone $500 that
can prove how to make it faster (without that K-Mart air conditioning unit)
I openly challenge anyone, any company, any competitor to try and take my
$500 and show me how to make it faster. Many have tried; all have failed,
but I'm always up for more speed no matter what the cost. I get those AMD
brainwashed people e-mailing me all the time but my system always wins hehe.
(You might want to note that my testing lab has 85 full time computer
enthusiasts who love nothing more than to play "lets see how fast we can
make it") This is what they have come up with this week and yes; it does
actually run, and is backed by our warrantee even if you over-clock it."
anyone have any ideas to make this faster?
