What kind of computers do you have at your school?

Well, right now I'm using a powermac G5, and I can see about six of its siblings from where I'm sitting in the main computer lab (There may be more of the suckers spread around campus but I havn't seen them). They have a gig of memory and dual 2 Ghz processors. I'm not sure what video card they use, it's some type of ATI card. The designation is RV351, I know R350 is the 9800 series but what is RV351? Whatever it is it has 128mb of ram and uses AGP. They have 150 GB hard drives made by, I believe, Western Digital and a DVD burner. The rest of our computers are Dells with 512Mb of ram and some type of P4 with HT.

Very nice, I assume you're talking about a college here since you said campus? As far as that RV351, I did a quick Google search and found this:

"RV351 is meant to replace and update Radeon 9200 cards and will be a direct representative of X300 PCIe cards in AGP market. It's like KY's representative on earth. I expect it to have four pipelines and two vertex Shader units to work with 128 bit DDR 1 memory and to be clocked at close to 300/400 MHz. As always it's possible to expect LE version that will possibly be crippled to use 64 bit memory."

So it looks like it's an AGP x300.

all i know they are crap cant even run the regular version of autocad only the light. cant run 3d games or aps. or it freezes.

a new study tells us that germany has the most pcs in europe 11 students have to share one pc here :S

(p1 133mgh forever)

D_o_S · Sep 4, 2005

We've got quite a few Celerons, ranging from 266MHz to somewhere around 500, with 128MB memory each.

odddray · Sep 12, 2005

mine has about a lot of shitty 95 computers that barly work

djbbenn · Sep 12, 2005

Thats pretty sad when a school can't even get new computers that are kind of up to date. :rolleyes:

my schools the most underfunded school in nyc. we got dell gx's?

Homeless · Sep 16, 2005

At my college in NYC we have P4 2.4-2.8ghz computers with dvd/cd-rw combo drives. The rest of the specs are integrated video/sound/nic

We got crappy p3 450 with 192 ram and a S3 savage at our school...
And i have to do all sorts of crap on those things.. :mad:

It's the worst system but it sucks when i have to work with em too damn slow...

thedivinehairband · Sep 16, 2005

We have a bunch of celeron 700s upgraded with 256 of ram that are just about managing to run windows XP!! It's really dire!!!! We do have some faster ones round. Got a suite of Sempron 2500s that seem to cope ok.

crappy ones thats all i can tell ya. Intel 520J, 865 chipset, with 36GB SCSI (which is faster and more reliable than SATA and SATA II), 2X64MB DDR2 RAM, Geforce 440MX, which is crap compared to my computer (see below)

Depends on the type of SCSI used. Ultra320 (320MB/s) might be faster than SATAII (3Gb/s = +-384MB/s) in some situations (I/O's maybe) but would cost a whole lot more and any other SCSI would be slower, but it may (big MAY) be more reliable. And I never knew you could buy a 64MB DDR2 DIMM?? :rolleyes:

Actually no single disk will fill the whole bus on it's own. No SCSi disk will get you 320Mb/s on it's own. Not will any SATA disk give you 150Mb/s on it's own. SCSI doesn't load your CPU as much as SATA would though.

Also sorry for editing your post, pressed edit instead of quote

Darksaber · Sep 18, 2005

oh man, our PCs in Austria were so slow, that if you wanted to load windows 3.1 you got a message "This will take several minutes, please take a break" and it booted of floppies. Then In Canada, I worked in the Computer Lab...my job was to gut a whole bunch of 66Mhz machines, and see how many we could get up and running. And we had 4 450 AMD K6-2s running, and 2 "down"...

i kept telling them, to let me build them 10 or so low cost PCs...but noooooo *G*

cheers

PS: here you can get brand new PCs for 200€s...perfect for schools if you ask me...

I know, but I'm just saying it's not neccessarily faster or more reliable...

And if there were a single SCSI drive capable of 320MB/s then that would've been awesome, but maybe 8 or so drives? :rolleyes:

And BTW, what's with this SATA2 and 3GB/s crap? We've never measured HDD performance in bits, so why start now with the interface? Just state the MB/s like ATA133 or SATA150.

Jewfromdahood · Sep 18, 2005

it's SCSI 320. and they a couple of years old so back then 64MB was mid end or high end RAM i believe

Jewfromdahood · Sep 18, 2005

My new computer can use both SATA II and Serial attached SCSI which is faster than SCSI 320. i may go half SATA II and other half SCSI

Migons · Sep 18, 2005

Fews are equipped with 2.8GHz P4's, 256MB RAM, integrated SiS graphics, LG CD-RW/DVD Combos, 80GB HDDs, 17" CRTs... But most have 233-300MHz Pentiums, 16-64MB RAM, 15" CRTs... Little crappies, but work...

Dippyskoodlez · Sep 18, 2005

mac school.

tons and tons of macs.

mikechinym · Sep 20, 2005

ibm pc,p4 2.0ghz ,256mb ram,brand x mbo...the speed??
going like a snail...@!#$%^&*!!
hope they change the pc.
