I ordered a new machine for kids today. One of the P4/1.5Ghz/768MB systems died, so a Dual Core AMD 2.2Ghz/2GB/400GB machine is going on that desk. For $249 I thought it was decent enough for them and their MySpace. LOL Where did you get it? http://www.tigerdirect.com It's a refurbished Emachine with memory card reader and DVD burner. I think the kids will like it. I get a lot of stuff from Tiger Direct. Overall, they have been good over the 12 years or so I have used them. As I remember,the first I ever got there was parts for a P2-450 with 256MB RAM/3GB HDD/8MB PCI Video. I think I still have it here (on it's third MB/same CPU), but haven't booted it in a couple years. As I remember, I had gotten my W95 beta tester award CD and wanted a 'powerful' system to put it on. The 486-66/64MB system just wasn't what I wanted with that 'resource hog' OS! LOL     [Edit 1 times, last edit by cargod01 at Aug 3, 2008 10:37:01 AM] |

TBH I don't give a darn. it costs me so much, I am thinking on letting power managment take over my PCs... My electric bill has gotten outrageous also. Over $500 last month.... that incoming dual core may help with results per KWH, but I doubt it will use less electricity than the P4. I have all machines on LCD displays now instead of CRT, but electric rates keep going up up up... BTW: It looks like I am half a century old now... edited for inappropriate language...cih Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) (Rank) 50:011:05:51:07 (#129) Points Generated (Rank) 14,579,644 (#259) Results Returned (Rank) 31,403 (#393) [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 6, 2008 1:39:19 PM] |

I just bought 3 20" LCDs to replace my 2 19" and 1 17" CRT at home. They are only on when I am using them, so power consumption for these will help some on the electric bill, but not that much.

I have found that the LCDs use less than half the energy of a CRT. It's a good investment either way, they take up less space, run cooler and usually provide a better view (especially at an angle). |
