[QUOTE=Dlaor;20608852]I don't even want to know how many terabytes the hard drives of 2065 will have.[/QUOTE]
It will probably be measured in Petabytes or Exabytes.
[QUOTE=Epidemick;20609000]Fuck 2065, what are we going to have by 2015?[/QUOTE]
First petabyte HDD by 2020. Calling it now.
Even with that 1995 "super gaming computer" it's still laggy as fuck, lol.
In 99 I was rocking Pentium III Katmai SL35D OC'd to a whopping 600 MHz, 128 megs of RAM, with the beast ATI Rage video card. But in 98 my system was a true POS.

5000 dollars for the monitor, which is more expensive than buying 3 of mine.[/QUOTE]
I could buy 20 of mine, 16:9 1600.900 1080i 24". A widescreen CRT costing that much? Jesus I love technology.
Just thinking 10 years from now, people would be laughing at my amazing specs. :(
I wonder how well that bitch plays Half-Life.
[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;20610675]I was actually pretty surprised that they had a 10,000 rpm HDD in 1998.[/QUOTE]
SCSI HDDs have 15000RPM now a days.
Holy shit the 1995 one comes with Buried in Time. I love that game so fucking much.
Hell I'd trade my laptop for that computer. You know, if I didn't have Buried in Time already.
[QUOTE=ColinSSX;20617908]At least she didn't make a GUI interface in visual basic to track the computer's IP address.[/QUOTE]
Omg yes, exactly. If she attempted such feat I would rage.
I have a 1998 Compaq Deskpro computer and decided to upgrade it with random parts around my room.
For this video being released the same year my Compaq came out, I was kind of shocked at how much this computer must of cost at the time.
Here is a list of the specs, including the original and upgraded.
ATX (Slot 1 CPU) motherboard - updated BIOS to support HDDs >40 gig.
100 watt PSU - unchanged
Pentium II @ 400mhz - unchanged
10 gig HDD @ 5400 rpm - upgraded to 80 gig HDD @ 7200 rpm
Standard 2D video card(agp 4x?) - upgraded to 256 Meg Radeon 9250(PCI)
128 meg SDRAM (100mhz) - upgraded to 640 meg SDRAM (100mhz)
2 channel Compaq sound card (ISA) - upgraded to 5.1 Soundblaster Live (PCI)
3 1/2 floppy, CD-ROM, CD-RW(>32x) - changed to (Newer) 3 1/2 floopy, 5 1/4 floppy, DVD-ROM
Windows 95 - upgraded to Windows 2000
Added extra fan
(god, its such a mess of IDE cables in there..)
So basically the only original components of this computer are the case, motherboard, cpu and psu.
The maximum potential specs of this computer with the same motherboard would be a 1.4ghz cpu, 3 gig of (133mhz)SDRAM, and a 1GIG(lol) apg graphics card.
The motive of upgrading this computer is to play my older games without installing extra unneeded software on my main computer.
I get an average of 30-40 FPS on goldSource games (20low, 70high)
Average 20-30 FPS on GTA III and Vice City, and...
dun dun dun- 10 FPS on San Andreas. (amazing how a computer can play a game 7 years ahead of its time)
I plan to upgrade the processor so I can at least get playable frame rates on san an, And then I'll hopefully sell it for a decent price without people judging its power by the case.
1,6 GB is pretty much for 1995, i'm impressed.

Now, imagine if you could (hypothetically) take one of today's top of the line gaming PCs and bring it back to 1995.
"WHAT'S IN THAT!?" "Oh, you know, the usual, just 16GB DDR3, an Intel i7 clocked @ 4.3Ghz and GTX295s running in dual SLI."

The disks were not NEARLY as dense as todays and needed to spin that fast.

I wish my case opened like that.
I hope it can run Fallout 2, because my computer can't :saddowns:
God I laughed hard when she smugly said how it had 128 mb of ram.
wow, a 5000 dollar monitor. those go for probably 50 bucks now, not even, maybe $1.50
HOLY FUCK IS THAT MECH WARRIOR?
I would devote my entire life to building a time machine just so I could go back to the late 80's with my computer and make people shit bricks.
I remeber a very old computer I had that when it crashed, it made a very loud beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep sound. Back in da early 90's
Quake bitches
My PC in 1998 was as fallows:
Pentium 2 350 MHZ
256mb RAM
Geforce RIVA TNT
Soundblaster card (had 3d sound and such)
I wonder what the actual date on that video was, because we only paid $1500 for it.

I'd go back to the 1930's and give mine to the Germans.
that lady is annoying
What I had atleast 1GB of memory by 1998, always thought having a GB or more was common place.
Don't diss the CRTs boys. Pros still use them for their incredible accuracy over even the best flat panels. In fact I believe one of the prime concerns of these pros is what is going to happen once their current ones burn out or become inaccurate due to wear and age. Since nobody makes anything but shitty LCDs and plasmas these days.
Also the 200GHz number for 2020 might not be all that off, I believe IBM just made a 20GHz carbon nanotube transistor or something. And it's supposed to scale to several hundred GHz once it becomes fully developed for manufacture.
He's using the ARROW KEYS on the 1995 video.
It must be old good lord.
