No, a great amount of our military stock (tanks and rifles) are German. The G-36 is German, made by H&K.

I will be looking at a similar setup around the same time...although I would like a colossal monitor too (I'll stick with a CRT, probably about 22") for all my current excel and database stuff, plus, big monitors are coolOriginally posted by Asher
I'm replacing my computer in September.
Specs:
Intel Prescott (P5?) 3.4GHz (1MB L2 cache, SSE3, improved hyperthreading, 90nm process, etc)
Intel i875-based motherboard
1GB Dual DDR400
Radeon 9900(?) Pro 256MB
200GB SATA HD, 8MB cache
Also buying a laptop around the exact same time:
Intel Pentium M 1.8GHz (Dothan: 2MB L2 cache, 90nm process, etc)
Intel i855E-based motherboard
512MB DDR266
Radeon Mobility 9600 64MB
802.11a/b/g wireless
IBM ThinkPad (T40?)
No need for a laptop for me. We are not all made of money you know, unlike your parents

Below the belt. I would say anyone on Apolyton is rich compared to the majority of the world's population who slave 18 hours a day just to survive.Originally posted by Provost Harrison

I can't afford either setup or anything even close (i'm still looking forward to a CPU >1GHz) but I don't go all green eyed with jealously everytime I see a nice peice of hardware.
It's not what you've got - it's what you do with it.
And you can both shove SATA where the sun don't shine. SCSI3 rocks.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

I make one post back and I get flamed so promptly. You forget that Asher is a spoilt mummy's boy
Besides I expect my car is worth far more than both of those computers combined, so quite why I would be jealous I don't know...although I would like a similar setup soon. And SCSI is just too expensive...Speaking of Erith:

Well, I guess we all have our faults. Call that a flame? I'm surprised you'd feel more than gently toasted.Originally posted by Provost Harrison

Personally I find SCSI very cheap, but then I don't buy it brand new. I buy tested and warrantied stuff from ebay.
Chances are, if its going to last 30 days, it will last a lot longer. OK, I admit I make do with small (tiny compared to 200Gb) hard drives - but they so fast!!!!
It's seems a shame to have a speedy processor and shackle it to a treadmill. For me, having a slow processor ain't so bad - OK most recent games are still out of the equation BUT it's a pretty responsive desktop for day to day stuff.Last edited by Cruddy; June 4, 2003, 23:53.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street.

Hey, f*ck you, I'm paying for it all by myself. Just like the last computer.Originally posted by Provost Harrison

I'm working two jobs, so take your 'tude and shove it.
And hey, maybe you would have some money if you didn't quit your school and leave it with an utterly useless degree, stumbling around aimlessly whacking people with your walking stick and looking for a job, any job...

The PC as it's speced out right now will come to $2400CDN including tax for where I get it from..which is like $1550US. Not a bad deal for a top of the line rig...The case itself is $150US.

I may wait a year and grab the 10 GHz 32 bit ALU at a high 1.8V Intel processor

Actually, new details tell us that the ALUs aren't double-pumped in the P4 line -- there are just two 16-bit ALUs that operate in parallel. The "10GHz" thing would be "effective", but it'd be a 10GHz 16-bit ALU technically.Originally posted by blackice

What kind of case is it?
I got an Aopen H700 when I upgraded a month ago (along with an Intel 865G, P4 - 2.40c, 1 GB DDR-400, and ATi Radeon 9500).Comment
