P4 3.2Ghz with HT, 1024mb of DDRAM, 120GB of S-ATA hard disk space, 256mb of ATI RADEON goodness, 17" NEC FE770 CRT (didn't want an LCD). Plus speakers, etc. Still have to test out a render in Bryce. Is there any way of telling when HT is being used? I know 5.5 doesn't exactly support it, but I'm just wondering... So yeah, godly. I have a new love :) drac

In the Task Manager, click the performance tab to see what each processor is up to. Nice rig, dude. :) Jay

Thank you for making me salivate. May you and your new compy have many happy memories together.

Zhann ( ) posted Sat, 10 September 2005 at 7:20 PM

Cool machine, Drac! @ Jaymonjay, I may be wrong but you still only have one processor, the P4, the hyperthreading comes in as the p4 utilizes the two 60gb(120gb hd) by splitting the data stream to two drives it speeds up the work flow internally. Doesn't matter if B5.5 supports it. Mine is a P4, 3.6ghz, with 500gb Raid 0 HD(two 250gb drives), it was lighting fast until Win service pack 2 got installed, then I think the new security protocols slowed it down some....but Bryce does render much faster with HT....

All that $$ and they didn't give you a new mouse pad?

TobinLam ( ) posted Sun, 11 September 2005 at 12:44 AM

Hey Zhann, HT only deals with the processor. Raid is what does crazy cool stuff with your hard drives, and you have to have at least two. Raid 0 is definitely a cool setup, especially with hard drives so large. Nice computer! I have my more powerful sub positioned similarly and if I scoot back in my chair I can really start hearing it. I turned up some rap song really loud and I was wondering why the bass wasn't really loud until I left the room and came back. Then I had the sub pointing at me and it actually was pretty loud, you just don't hear it from the side.

Nice pc drac, only oine problem i can pick with it though.. ITS ON THE WRONG DESK...should be on my desk not yours :p

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

My pc is called Phtalo, and my Laptop is called Cay. Sadly I think Phtalo is slowly dying, as it randomly just shuts down. Also it shuts down more often when you give it more difficult (cpu intensive) things to do. I have already checked if it's an overheating prob, but that's not the case.

@ Rochr & Drac. Just to let you guys know, that if it weren't for Macs cool apps like Bryce and Poser would never have existed. Not to mention Photoshop and Flash. All apps originally made for Mac. sensitive MacUser who need constant reassurance that his chosen platform at work is viable ...I have a PC at home though...
