Used this years tax refund to sorta upgrade my old mixed mutt machine by combining the old 19" LCD, 16XDVD-RW, LeadTek Capture Card, floppy with the new:
(Socket AM2) AMD Athlon™64 X2 3600+ Dual-Core
1GB (2x512MB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory
GigaByte GA-M55SLI-S4 nForce4 SLI Chipset DDR2/800 SATA 16x PCI-Express MBoard w/GbLAN,IEEE1394,USB2.0,&7.1Audio
CoolerMaster Stacker 830 Tower with Apevia 680W BEAST POWER ATX Power Supply
AMD ATHLON64 CPU fan & heatsink + 3 extra case fans
1 NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS 512MB PCI Express x16 SLI
250GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 8MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
16X DVD ROM
Internal 12in1 Flash Media Reader/Writer
XP Home Edition w/ Service Pack 2

(plan to further upgrade the memory when Vista solidifies in 2-3 years, graphics to a 2nd card when it drops below $100, then CPU to the max the board will take in 3-4 years when the price has dropped about $500)

Got an Averatech 7115-EH1 laptop for the wife back in November:
AMD Sempron 3000+ Mobile Processor
512MB PC2700 DDR Memory
80GB ATA Hard Drive
Dual Layer DVD+/-RW Burner
17" WXGA+ (1440x900) Wide LCD
ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Integrated Graphics with 128MB Shared Memory
v.90 56Kbps Modem, 10/100 Ethernet and 802.11b/g Wireless
Three USB 2.0, One FireWire, One Type II PC Card Slot and 5-in-1 Reader
15.5" x 10.9" x 1.4" @ 7.2 lbs.
Windows XP Home

Just enough to do her school work or pay the bills whilst in front of the Tivo or watching the kids outside.

ASUS motherboard
512meg RAM PC 2100
40 GB Maxtor 80GB Maxtor  (has access to 2x120 gb on PC 1)
CD/RW
ASUS gForce Model ?? (very low video demand on system)
Sony Mutliscan 210GS 17"

500 (?) Watt Antec PSU

Down for the count.  May be rebuilt at some point.

PC 3
Athlon 3200XP
1024meg RAM PC 3200
80 GB Maxtor (has access to 2x120 gb on PC 1)
DVD Rom (Considering a DVD RW)
Radeon 9000 128MB
NEC MultiSync FP1370 22" monitor (shared with PC 1)
Mitsumi keyboard (shared with PC 1)
Sandisk flashcard reader.
550 Watt Enermax PSU

Changed HD to 250GB Maxtor.  Changed Video to ATI AIW 9800.  Replace DVD Rom with DVD/RW

All 3 machines have 10/100 network cards and are connected to a USR Router with a serial modem on the router.  The router has a hardware firewall.  There is also a Lexmark inkjet (X75) shared by all machines.

Router has had power supply changed twice.

My video demands are not high.  SETI output ~ 37.5 WUs /day if not playing games. 

SETI offline due to probability of being permanently laid off in the next few months.  I will return once things stabilize and I either have a new job or know I don't need to worry about it afterall.

I have a 4th machine to overhaul that will go to a friend once he has a place for it (only a 350mhz PII).  Used to be my mothers till I swapped it for my #4 machine (Athlon 2400XP).  Its HD is failing and I will put in 1 (or 2) spare 40 GB drives.

Passed on to friend.

A 5th machine (Athlon 1400) should show up, I gave it to a friend but he has no current need for it and it has some heating problems he wants me to solve (likely just a disconnected fan power from moving it too much), I'll upgrade it to Athlon 2100XP using a spare chip when and if it shows and put it to SETI until he needs it again.

Returned to friend.  Upgraded the processor to XP 2100+, ATI Radeon 7000 replaced with 9000 (9000 was replaced in machine #3 and added here), DVD Rom replaced with DVD/RW.  It took him months to find out that the DVD/RW was there even though the burning software was loaded.  It turned out that it was not overheating but that he had never run a defragmentation on the HD (it took 4 hours to defragment the 2GB C partition).

I neglected to add the Acer laptop.  1.8ghz Turion processor, 15.4 inch screen.

My old system was an Athlon XP 2600+ processor.  Forgot the socket.  ECS motherboard.  Don't remember the model.
She had 1.5 gigs of Kingston DDR ram, PC2700.
nVidia GeForce FX5200 AGP with 128 megs of ram on board.
Creative Labs Audigy 4
Sony DRU800A dual layer DVD burner
Mobile racks for nearly limitless hard drive space, but main drive was a Western Digital 160 gig IDE hard drive
Windows XP Home w/SP2
350 watt Antec power supply

Current rig:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ AM2 socket
Gigabyte GA-M55Plus-S3G rev 1.2 motherboard
1 gig, Single Channel, Kingston KVR800D2N5 memory, DDR2 PC-6400  (I know, I need at least another gig.  Haven't had the cash to get one)
Zalman heatsink.  Forgot the model number.
Antec Trueblue 2.0 430 watt PSU
EVGA nVidia Geforce 7300 GT PCI-E graphics with 512 megs of ram on board
Same sound card as before
New mobile racks, but main hard drive is 250 gig Western Digital IDE hard drive
In this new rig I installed my old, unused ZIP250 interal drive
Adaptec media card reader
Pioneer DVR-111C dual layer DVD burner with Lightscribe capabilities
Currently running Windows XP Home SP2 on main hard drive, and running XP Pro SP2 on my mother's hard drive, and on my SATA hard drive which I tinker around with.

Haven't made the transition to SATA drives yet because I haven't had the money to buy a bunch of SATA drives, even though they're dirt cheap these days.  But I will in the future.  The board has 4 SATA ports, and 2 IDE channels.

You must have sweet data retrieval times with those hard drives.  *drools*  And I hate you real bad right now for having such a nice monitor.

I've upgraded a bit since last time.

Here are the additions:

Additional 1 gig, Kingston KVR800D2N5 PC6400 DDR2 ram.  Total system ram, 2 gigs.

Antec Neopower 650 watt modular power supply.

Main hard drive is a Western Digital 500 gig SATAII plugged in via a mobile rack.  Mother's hard drive is a 250 gig Western Digital SATAII hard drive, using mobile rack.

Additional 500 gig SATAII Western Digital installed as slave drive for additional storage.

Thanks to a very generous friend from these boards, I'll soon have a GeForce 7950GT KO graphics card.

If I'm able to, I'll get a new mobo that can handle my processor and memory, and allow me to do SLI, since I have 2 of these bad boy cards.

Now, just need to get a new monitor and I'll be happy.  And a faster processor, while they're still making them.

I will say the PS is a little loud, but it's an older one.  Next time I'm buying one of the ones with modular cableing.

I remember when I got my last PSU when I first built my current rig.  I had all the fans running at top speed, and one of the panels was off cause I hadn't installed everything I wanted to yet, and the computer was actually so quiet, my mother didn't know it was on.

But, as times goes by, the system gets a little louder cause the fans get broken in more and more.

But, my personal view is, as long as they're kept clean, and still running, and don't get too too loud that I can't even hear the television, then I'm good.

A "rebuild" that turned out to use very few of the original parts.

The original machine

Dual Athlon 2100XP (modded to MP may update to 2600MP or 2800MP)
ASUS motherboard
512meg RAM PC 2100
40 GB Maxtor 80GB Maxtor  (has access to 2x120 gb on PC 1)
CD/RW
ASUS gForce Model ?? (very low video demand on system)
Sony Mutliscan 210GS 17"
Mitsumi keyboard
500 (?) Watt Antec PSU

The rebuilt machine:

CPU Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4ghz
Motherboard P5B-E
600w PSU (antec I think)
Video Card - Asus EN 7100GS
NEC MultiSync FP1370 22" monitor (shared with my windows machine.)
2x 1GB DDR2 667mhz
500gb SATA HD
LG SATA DVD-RW

Mitsumi keyboard
Microsoft Optical trackball.
Thermaltake Swing ATX case mid tower.
LinuxMint 4.0 KDE community edition

The machine was supposed to use the original HD and DVD/CD drives but it turned out that the ATA HD controller is not "real" it is a chip that translates from the ATA drives to the SATA controller.  My Linux version did not yet support that chip so I had to replace the drives as well.  Except for the drives the parts had all been bought back in last July.  The rebuild was delayed due to not knowing when or if I was going to be laid off.  A couple of months ago I decided to finish the rebuild (the drives cost about $200) rather than waste the money already spent.  I just yesterday transferred my software and data to this machine.  It is doing quite nicely.

I also have a "salvaged" Dell (P4 2.8 ghz) that I am considering making a "frankenputer" out of by cannibalizing my gaming machine to build up the Dell.  That is IF the Dell can take the hardware (in theory it should but its a Dell so I can't really be sure)

If and when I build a new computer, I am thinking of going Intel dual core.  Then again, it depends on what I'm feeling at the time.

I went AMD  because of price.  After I bought my chip, my doofus brother says, "Oh, man, I work for Intel, I could have gotten you a Quadcore for free".   


If and when true quadcore apps come out, remember Intel is 2 dual cores on one stamp and AMD is truely 4 processors on one stamp.  That's part of why AMD's don't truely benchmark at the moment.

Actually, I believe Intel's new Q9300 is a true quad core processor, just as the Phenom processors from AMD. 

You're right about Intel's older quad cores merely being 2 dual core processors sandwiched together.

I normally go AMD because of price, and because up until now, the best AMD had to offer trailed Intel's by very small margins, and I don't split hairs over a few milliseconds, especially when the price difference is about 200 bucks less in some cases.

I'm hoping that sometime later this year, or the beginning of next year, AMD will release CPUs that will again give Intel something to worry about.
