Hey, are you taking any honors courses and/or planning on doing so soon?

Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the forums Voytek (username, right?).
Are you more into software or hardware?

lost-and-found · 11-16-03, 03:13 PM

Voytek is actually my name, fits my personality perfectly, doesn't it

I'm primarily a hardware freak, have loads of that stuff on my walls. I also find interest in old software from the 80's and prior. As far as programming goes I know the basics: HTML, TI-86 BASIC, and some Java.

Re: Honors Program, I'm currently taking TH 208, and next quarter EC 201

Oh cool, how's that theatre class, is it a lot of work? Or more fun than work? I met the teacher of the class at a program meeting once and he sounded really cool and enthusiastic...
I was goint to take the Econ 201, but I'm already taking way too many classes, so I gave my spot to Sreus, a guy in my Sta 120 honors class this quarter... (useless info, but oh well)...
hope you voted for the student advisory board (i'm running for a position, yeaayy :P)

are you into hardware modding as well?

What do u think of my rig:

AMD 1700XP JIUHB DL3TC 0308 oc'ed to 1947MHz
SLK-800 on a 92mm tornado
rad 9700 pro (should i softmod to 9800?!?!)
wd800jb
plexi 52x32x52
audigy2 plat

JPWRana · 11-16-03, 11:28 PM

im thinking of getting a 2nd gen wdraptor, the 36gig however, cuz i wanna use a wd250gb sata for storage.

Sweet, you got your 1700 XP to 1947MHz? Isn't that like a 2500+? What are your temps on it? What OS you running?

I'm still running my rig at 1.2GHz (old skool T-bird

). I'd o/c it but I've already got 7 fans in it and still can't get it running below 50*C....the T-birdies are known to be hot little buggers. I dual boot to Mandrake 9.2 and Windows 98se depending on what I feel like each day...

System Specs:

1.2GHz T-bird @ 1.2
384MB PC 133 RAM (I'd get the DDR2100 since my board supports both, but I'm saving my money for a powerbook)
crappy ATI Xpert 128 w/ 16mb ram.....won't even do hardware acceleration in linux
IBM 60gxp deskstar (deathstar) 40GB @ 7200RPM
Lite-on 16x10x40x and a lite-on 52x cd-rom
All cooled by 7 fans; 3 hard drive fans, 1 side fan, 2 back fans, and a Volcano II. (The noise is killing me)

As far as SATA goes, I haven't been much updated on that, and last time I checked (6+ months ago), tom's hardware ran the benchmarks of SATA vs. ATA133 and there was no visible benefit of running SATA, but that probably changed already.

Ooh a Powerbook.

I converted into a mac user myself.

Welcome to the forums Voytek. That is a very unique name. Very l337.

i can actually get it up to 2.4Ghz stable... A FULL GHz of OC!!

, but i dont want the cpu to die out on me w/in 2 yrs... i want it 2 last a lil longer cuz i never keep a pc for more than 4 yrs.

DEAR LORD!! 7 FANS?!?! whats the db level on that bad boy

my 92mm tornado drives me nuts!!!

but thats the price i pay for an xtra GHz of OC memory hehe

when is your next upgrade?!?!

i hate tomshardware... they are sooo corrupt. i use www.storagereview.com for hard drive reviews.

Hello fellow Bronco. Quite an avator you got there.

BTW, do you like Billy Bronco?

lost-and-found · 11-30-03, 12:39 PM

my next upgrade??? hmmm...probably no sooner than two more years away or so

oh, the avatar...hehe. At another forum I visit I made a really whacky halloween avatar after having Beverley Mitchell (drool) as my av for a while, and peepz loved it, so I transformed it into a santa av to fit the Christmas season
