Compuevolution

How many times you have done major upgrades to your comp in your life? Since technology is always advancing day by day, computer upgrading is often necessary to enable you to taste the new technology, games, and softwares.

 

Here is the list of my computer evolution since I was born:

1990s

I forgot the specification of my computer at this time but it's the good-old-ibm with dos one.

 

2002

MoBo: Jetway ??? (forgot the series)

Processor: Intel Pentium III 700 Mhz

VGA: GeForce 4 MX 64 mb AGP 8X

Monitor: GTC 14"

Memory: 256 mb

HardDisk: Seagate 10 Gb 7200

OpDrive: Samsung 52X CD-Rom

 

2004

MoBo: Asus P4P500

Processor: IntelPentium IV 2.4 GHz

VGA: GeForce FX 5200 128mb

Monitor: GTC 15"

Memory: 512 mb PC 27--

Harddisk: Seagate 40 Gb and Maxtor 80 Gb (both 7200 rpm)

OpDrive: LiteOn 16X DVD-Rom and LiteOn 52X32X52 CDRW-Rom

CompCase: Aibo 2 fans + 350 watt PSU

 

June 2006

MoBo: MSI ......whatever series

Processor: Intel Pentium IV 3.0 GHz 64-bit

VGA: GeCube Radeon X1300 Pro 256 Mb

Monitor: GTC 17" Flat

Memory: V-Gen 2 X 512 mb DDR2 PC 533

HardDisk: Seagate 80 Gb SATA II + the previous Maxtor 80 Gb

OpDrive: LiteOn 16X DVD-Rom

CompCase: SimCool 6 fans + 450 watt PSU

 

For the last upgrade, I didn't realize that my MSI mother board only have one IDE slot until I got home, and that force me to use for the Maxtor HD and LiteOn DVD-Rom without the CDRW-Rom. I either have to buy an IDE expansion slot or buy a new optical drive with SATA slot :cry:

Last thing I upgraded? Speakers. Thats about it. Oh and got a microphone not to long ago. I don't know why, I never use it, but it was only $3 so yeah listening to myself got old fast though.

 

 

 

So lets list my computers over the years

 

Early 1990's - Amiga 500+ - Well not really mine, but yeah I used it most.

Late 1990's - Compaq something. - Really ****ty. Still going though so yeah.

 

2002 - Dell Laptop - Which died in 2005. Meh. Can't blame it, took a hell of a lot of abuse. hehe.

2004 - Sony Laptop - Mate gave it to me. Dumbass, he thought it was stuffed. Hehe, all it needed was a new HD. Though the casing is getting a bit cracked and stuff. They really need to make laptops out of stronger stuff I reckon....

 

2006 - Dell Desktop - Cheap though suprisingly reliable. All it needs is a decent vid card.

 

And thats about that.

Wow, all are build-up pcs, I like custom made PC better, cheaper and more variative.

1996-2001 - A very old Gateway I believe, this was before I was computer savy.

 

2001-2005 - My old Gateway... That lasted me a bit. It had an AMD Anthlon (Not 64) and an MSI motherboard. All it needed as a good video card, but no agp or PCI-e x16 slot.. Only PCI... When I was younger around 2003ish my mom got a PCI card and it could run C&C Generals - Zero Hour well which is all that mattered to me.. Till I tried to run BF2 and I couldn't so I basically gave the moniter the bird.

 

2005 - Current: Current gaming rig, its very nice, though I should of wait till later to upgrade. No one told me of the Conroe and AM2... Bastards.

1995 - 1998 : Some crappy super-mega-old Olivetti that had NC (Norton Commander [woohoo!]) and a monitor that showed 2 colors - black and yellow. I played Leisure Suit Larry 1 and some F1 game on it. It had a harddrive as big as 4 modern HD-s and it probably had like 50mb disk space?? It used big floppys that were about 10x10 cm. It didn't have a mouse.... It was a cool computer until lightning finished it

 

1998 - 2006 : Old comp. that still runs C&C Generals.

It has a 600 Mhz P3 CPU (clocked it to 672 Mhz 8) ), 256 Mb RAM, 80GB HDD, 32 Mb Geforce MX 100/200.

 

And finally... 2006 - ... : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+, 1Gb ram, 600Gb HDD, Geforce 6800 GS 256 Mb and an Asus A8N-SLI mobo.
