    thats totaly ridiculous fours 900mhz cpus

    why have fours 900mhz when you can have 4 1.5ghz at 3 times the price

    fek the P3s, get someone to steal a few of those 64-bit cpus......then overclock ema 'bit'...hehe
    Also, he has only 133Mhz SDRAM, Wheres the DDR???? though the 1GBRAM-on-a-chip is pretty impressive. The G200s??? Wtf? Is he just goint o be doing some fancy-**** photoshop? Get some Dual-head Geforces or Quadro2Ultras........And just what are 'solid state hdds'??? Are they like super big ROM chips???hehe,now THERE'S an idea....... smile.gif
    Of course the downside to this is that the Half-life engine is capped to 99fps, not the 3,000,000fps this machine would be pulling......so I beat it already... biggrin.gif

    the P4 can only be used as a single CPU, the XEON doesn't support DDR SDRAM yet, but you can get a serverworks chipset witch can support 4 channels of SDRAM giving bandwidth of double that of a DDR solution, the XEON's 2meg cache will hold nearly all programs, ay serious work would be good for this machine, + u could put a gef3 into the free AGP slot, and link it to a 17th plasma screen for games, tho a room of plasma screens would be cools, + with the flash HD's they'll load the mpas much faster than you, and get in the server first and kill you:P

    The ultimate Police Chief..
    hmmmm...
    interesting topic, i must say.
    i suppose he/she would have to be
    athletic,
    fast,
    caring towards the elderly,
    have a keen sense of racial tolerance,
    be willing to share his chips,
    have a cool name,
    and keep law and order while at the same time turning a blind eye to the crimes that i commit

    Maybe it could do with a few gigs of Rambus memory and faster Xeons smile.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    maybe he ran out of money?

    well if you stack them right you could make a room out of the screens alone :-)

    hell ... you'd proabaly have sold your house to build that box ... and if the case is big enough ... sure you could stick it in case from an IBM AS 400 ... and you could live inside one of those.
