What computer are you using ?

Gaming: Asrock Z77 Pro3, i7-3770K, Corsair 8 GB DDR3-1600, Asus GTX670-DC2-2GD5, 128GB SSD (Samsung 830)
Playing/recording music: MacBookPro2,2
HTPC: Finally got a Dreambox DM7020HD that replaced my old AMD 4850e.
"Server": Intel D201GLY2A
At work: Asus EeePC 1000H

 

Lenovo S10-3T

Intel(R) Single core Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66GHz
2GB RAM
250GB HD
Windows 7
Extended battery for up to 7 hours of life (or a full work day...)
Touch screen the can rotate around so it can be used as a pad.

Although I bought it as it was the only netbook that had a proper keyboard, rather then the useless chiclet mac copy keyboards that everyone seems to copy now. Netbook as I spend so little time in places that a desktop is impossible and a laptop is impraticle.

 

ExoPC running win 8....2011 spec MacBook Air...and uhhh that's it...I've sold off most of the dozen or so I had...I've got more tablets than computers now I guess...

 

I took the pic upside down, so anyone who was interested could read the stickers.



2009 Dell Inspiron 1525 rolled back to WinXPProSP3
HDMI output to 42" LCD
Analog audio output (onboard sound only outputs stereo, anyway, and is buggy) to home theater
That blue light comes from the massive fan I run underneath it.

 

Dell Precision 390
Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz (will eventually upgrade to X6800/Q6600)
6 GB Ram (will eventually upgrade to 8/12GB)
128MB Nvidia Quadro (lol, it works)
500GB SATA HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

 

My portable: MacBook Pro, Quad Core Intel Core i72GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD
My desktop: Mac Pro, 2x Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.8GHz (8 cores total), 32GB RAM, 2TB HD.

My desktop does a lot of video editing in 1080p with raw uncompressed files, so it needs a lot of that RAM.

 

You drop in that ram yourself or order it from Apple that way?

 

Please don't laugh too hard, I've got a lot of aging hardware that I can never bring myself to part with and haven't bought a desktop since 2004.

I'm itching to build a new/modern desktop soon, but I'll have to find a way to make room for it first. Especially since I might be receiving and restoring some more older desktops in the near future.

Laptops:

Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13" i5 with upgraded ram to 8gb and a 240gb samsung ssd

and a

Late 2008 Dell e4300 with a 120gb corsair force 3 ssd

 

Myself. I ordered it with the bone stock 2GB and went to NewEgg and ordered 8 sticks of 4GB Kingston memory made for this computer.

(If you don't get the special memory made for this MacPro, it'll trigger ECC/FB errors and thermal errors. Each RAM stick has a thermistor, so does the riser card).

 

Was just wondering if you burnt $900 on ram

 

Custom one, i5 2500k 3.6ghz
Asus P8F67 PPO
2x4 GB Kingston 1333mhz
1GB Radeon 6870
1TB HD, Probably Samsung
600W Seventeam power supply.

 

Mac Pro memory isn't cheap anyway. It would cost me almost 1200$ still to max out my ram on my Mac Pro, but it is a 2006 model, which uses memory that is even more expensive.

 

My RAM cost me around $700, and a discount on NewEgg I had.

My Mac Pro requires fully buffered ECC memory, with special heat sink designs..

To this day, not a single ECC error count has been triggered.. Never had a kernel panic, and the only time an app crashes is from poor programming.

 

Why is Mac Pro ram so expensive yet you can get 8gb's of Corsair ram for Macbooks for $50 or cheaper if you shop around? Surely Macbook ram needs to be ECC ready too?

 

MacBook RAM is not fully buffered or ECC. It's just plain laptop memory.

MacPros are workstations, so they require RAM designed for that kind of task where it needs to be fast, and reliable.

 

A MacBook Pro 15" Retina at the moment

 

Macbook Pro 15"
2.8 GHz i7
8 GB RAM
256GB SSD

I had the problem where the GPU crashed in Lion requiring a new logic board (had to happen out of warranty) but luckily it was a fairly common problem and they fixed it for free, so far no problems with Mountain Lion which I have had installed since it came out...

 

Cool, is that the one with the Retina Display? I've seen one of those in person and it's pretty cool. I'd like to get an 11" Macbook Air, since I have a nice desktop now, and could use a nice portable computer to replace my old Macbook.
