Freso: more or less, yes.

people

I should be logged in

ruaok: Alright.

Oh, maybe not, heh

ruaok: I remember you said there was a version of windows that was just before xp but wasn't crappy like me?

2000 ?

I need a new machine

200, then xp, then 2003

and I can't install ME on anew machine

2000 has unicodez?

2000 won't install right if the machine can't handle ME

yes

Yes.

but it's not inane like XP, yes?

we need to find catgroove a decent hand me down machine.

ja

you can set it not to be, catgroove

I need a new one

He can have my failure of a machine when I go to uni and get an iMac

I <3 my old fujitsu simens WinME but it's getting old

(October)

ooohhhh

It's nothing special :P

it is for me

this machine was new in 03

2.2ghz athlon xp, 512mb ram and a radean 9800

ooh mac

ruaok, good choice :)

lol this machine has 125 RAM

keschte still has a mac mini.

I <3 my MacBook, but wish it was a pro

I gave it to him for dev work.

but....

:(

I wish I could give that to catgroove

aCiD2: how many gigs is that machine?

Of hard-drive mem?

250, but I can't give the drive away too (I need that! :P)

I have 125 megs of ram now, 512 would seem lik a dream

of storage

lol

catgroove: what cpu?

this machine came with 40 gigs, but was updated to 80 when the harddrive melted

erh.. cpu?

lol

the repait man was most cool

like pentium 3, celeron, etc?

Dell occasionally comes has $400 bundles with 2.80Ghz dual core, 512MB, 80GB, and 19" flat panel.

Cheap but good for easy stuff

if it's only from 03, can prob be upgraded... mine's twice as old, and still running fine

unfortunatly my cdply/dvdply room is borked, so I'm using my cdply/cdwrite for playing as well as writing, but I can't copy cd's that way

also dvdwriter would be cool for storage

I could do with a dvdwriter

catgroove: you can always copy it to the hard drive then write back to the drive, don't need 2 drives to copy

hmm

I may be undersagurating

I started mb in 03 didn't I..

so 01/02 most probably

BrianFreud: you're asuming I have space enough for that

lol, true

do you know if it's a pentium 3, or celeron, or whatever?

no

I think pentium 3

wait

i'll find out

I might have spare parts around collecting dust :P

I have DDR-400 memory I could throw at this project.

not if it's a p3 though r...

aah it says 'intel (r) celeron(tm) processor

ok, good start

try this - right click on my computer, choose properties, and look where it says on that window the speed of your computer (998 MHz, or whatever)

catgroove, Don't close knit community projects rock? :)

hehe

if not, we should take up a collection to put whatever is missing.

BrianFreud: that's what I did to get to the info

I'm not *that* daft :P

does it give you a speed?

lol

127 RAM

any MHz number?

says nothing about megahertz

been a while since I used ME, lol

I've got a other program for that.. maybe

nah I deleleted that

hey, anyone know a good tool for turning lossless files into CD's and printing the cover art at the same time?

all i did find of it was that of the 127 ram I have about 126 is used up on a clean boot up

ajh: the only on I know of is nero

I usedot copy cd's

try this http://www.benchmarkhq.ru/fclick/fclick.php?fid...

(for catgroove)

hrm, ok the nero I seemed to have didn't have things like grab cover art.

I didn't even know you could copy from files (i used mp3) but it goes well with wav. I don't know if it supports any other formats, tho

hmm on the one I have is 'create your own cover art'

and print it out

yeah, I'm looking for something that looks like what itunes does but will manage the workflow from start to finish.

try that utility catgroove, it'll tell you/us what cpu and speed you have

hmmmm

I don't really like to install something right now

no need to install - it's a 36k prog

:)

erh guys

seriously

looking atmy only driver D:

it's all blue

seriously

uh my driver is C not D

Stuck in a 3rd world country with no access to cheap used hardware?

uhm

Norway's not 3rd world... :)

I live in norway

asshat

because I've been selling 3ghz P4's for $400 CAD.

:P

I have some spare drives, but I guess just sending them be more expensive than buying a new ones :)

mister rob's coming here in may, ain't he?

catgroove: no. :-(

:o

I can't afford .no

Just built an Athlon 2K with 768M and 80G disk that's I was thinking about selling for $150.

not? what happen?

I'm going to london at the end of this month.

So it's not like getting something between what you have now and those is hard.

and I am taking a week off.

shit, maybe I can just go to norway for a few days.

:o

lol

seriously you can crash here

seriously

I've got some PC100's I can throw in, if your comp doesn't need PC133s

And when ruaok arrives... "WHAT?!"

lol, memory

:P

I'd rather have a whole comp than bits and pieces
