Sounds like you're liking your new machine, dave.

forgot to mention the 160gig 7200rpm seagate barracuda serial ata drive! :)

XP is not hanging...just Photoshop, I get the End now? screen. I have had the system reboot twice on its own right in the middle of working on an image. That sucked. :o)

bad hardware. see this faq link:

bummer.

Also, the reinstall doesn't delete the preference files...

Re: 160gig

Well, that'll take a few weeks to fill, won't it.

Don (who remembers thinking that there was no way he would ever fill up that new 20 meg hard disk.)

Its listed in the 'supports hyperthreading' and it works....believe me.
This computer is nice except for this little quirk:
P4 3.06 Hyperthreaded
1GB PC2100
Gigabyte SINXP1394 mobo
1.5TB external storage
7USB 2.0
4 firewire

it's been a few solid days now since anything has happened...nothing like random errors...love em

Dave,

I remember back about 10 years ago when I bought my 486 system, hard drives had just broken below the $1 per megabyte barrier. If they were still priced like that, that 160 gigger would have set you back more than 100 grand!

From what I've read, 3.06GHz doesn't do hyper-threading. 3.00GHz does.








you need to look for the chips with the "C" designation... mine is a 2.8C ghz.

1GB PC2100




tsk. tsk. such a nice system for such slow memory! go for the 3200! :)

that's not a quirk. photoshop is revealing a serious hardware error! better find it before the warrenty runs out!
