Beginning to become incredibly unsatisfied with my dad's choice of computers. - Hardware & Software

He pretty much just bought this without even consulting me. He paid $1100 for an HP Pre-built at COMP FUCKING USA I even told him to consult me , we were already thinking about getting a computer. Oh, he bought it in late march. Specs: [url]http://speccy.piriform.com/results/SDtzFnr8ium8A5SgYmVRQnt[/url] GIST: I would like to know what $1100 could get me in late march.

9Gb RAM :silent:

HPs have a history of WASTING RAM. My guess it's the reason for the GTS 250 not being a gtx 275 or some shit.

Triple channel RAM, 5/6 slots used. 9gb. What in the actual fuck?

[QUOTE=Badal;25908936]Triple channel RAM, 5/6 slots used. 9gb. What in the actual fuck?[/QUOTE] Three slots used; 3GB proprietary modules.

[QUOTE=Apache249;25909344]Three slots used; 3GB proprietary modules.[/QUOTE] RAM Memory slots Total memory slots: 6 Used memory slots: 5 Free memory slots: 1

9gb of Ram and an i7... but a GTS250? :silent:

It also has one of those damn Pegatron Truckee motherboards in it.

Even after the restocking fee you can get a better computer if you build it for him.

Knowing my father, he will NOT do anything about it. :/ He's to lazy.

Hit it with a hammer then say it was defective and came that way.

It's not like the graphic card itself is bad, but yeah, at this range of price, you could have a better graphic card (like GTX 470/480). Bet the PSU and case are shit too.

My dad bought a worse computer from Dell with a Radeon 4xxx series, for $900. He also couldn't figure out that his router's password changed and bought another one.

my dad spent 900$ on a computer with a 3850 and a phenom II x3 :saddowns: my mom spent 1.5 grand on a pc with a 3850 and a dual core i7. :saddowns: x2 did I tell you this was over the summer?

[QUOTE=Axiom :D;25924110]so that justifies you 2,500$ macbook with a Q6660?[/QUOTE] It justifies me $2000 MacBook Pro with a fantastic case, screen, keyboard, trackpad, OS and Q6660, yes. This is a laptop from Apple. It is not comparable to a triple SLI GTX 470 16 gigabyte ram 980x quad raid 0 SSD system made by someone who cannot even install a northbridge fan.

I forgot, big fucking deal it didn't cost me anything. [quote]16 gigabyte ram 980x quad raid 0 SSD system[/quote] Also..... :v: [editline]7th November 2010[/editline] do you know what your ever talking about mactrekkie?

I have the money, I saved up. I don't think its a waste. Your just acting jealous.

I may have forgotten the sarcasm tag all over my post. Either way, it wasn't an enthusiast machine, it was a waste of money buying three 470's. The other I can understand, but the three 470's were just fucking bullshit.

No thank you, I fail to see why I should feel jealous over your overpriced piece of junk

They were meant to go in place of two 480's because of better price and way better performance. So its somewhat justified. Also my ram was 150$ on sale, I only planned on getting one kit.

[QUOTE=Axiom :D;25924433]I have the money, I saved up. I don't think its a waste. Your just acting jealous.[/QUOTE] No, you just spent your money like a tool. Jealousy isn't a issue with me here, you just wasted a shit ton of money.
