>Pentium 4 1.7 ghz in 2001

pls user... just delete this

Shit, in 2001 I was still rocking my P3 733 MHz with Windows 2000. Good times.

2001 is the year of desktop linux, I swear it this time, you guys.

Wait until you experience the installation setup. This is the future.

AMD is doing pretty well. I will buy it for the next 20 years!

>WinPleb XP
Hahah pleb. I'm rocking Debian Potato. it features the latest DESU technology, newfag.

This site is also gay compared to SA. moot give me mod already.

winME is better

This.
AMD was a beast.

>buying XP RTM
>buying a pentium 4

Man that was a scary time.

In 2001 the best P4 you could buy was 2 Ghz that was 550$ realistically you'd go for 1.7 200~300$

Now in 2002 the made a 3Ghz model that was around 600$ and the 2.4 models where like 300$

So one year for the same money you got a 700Mhz more...

Sweet, my school trip to NY is the second week of september, can't wait to the scheduled trip to the WTC at 8:30 AM on tuesday morning.

You jelly poorfags?

Why would you go there that early in the morning, the roof isn't even open at that time yet

Ask an Microsoft Employee working on an unnanounced Windows version anything

Menwhile

For the 1.7 P4 money you could get an Athlon XP 2000+ that was at least 20% faster...

But the same as intel you got shafted because a year later for the same money you could get a Athlon XP 2700+

And if that wasn't enough... 2 fucking years later Athlon 64 3400+

Will you copy mac os X desktop effects? I really like 'em

Is there going to be a new Direct X?

ULTIMATE GAMER PC!

BLAZING 1.7 GIGAHURTS

I wonder how I'll look on 2016 in 2030...

Jesus vertex shaders a big deal...

im from the future
next windows will be ashit

Intel will be the next innovative company!
Just bought music to listen while installing XP!
Nvidia will open-source drivers!
This Windows will be good!

I'm a cop, from the future.

Why aren't there ANY open source windows drivers for anything?

Is it a new kernel?

Pentium 4 is good, but we will all switch to itanium anyway in 5 years

linus uses transmeta, why don't you?

How faster is WinFS?

I hate those fucking 378 coolers.

Same, shit is so hard to place.

guys i just bought $10,000 worth of enron shares, by this time next year im gonna be SO RICH!!!!

... I'm still running the machine I built in 2001.

>multi-layer perceptions

please

This was actually a good idea. Enron crashed as much from the book cooking as they cooked them due to California having made a fucked up electricity plan due to the coops being in Nevada and in California. So you could sell cheap energy from Cali to nevada, then sell expensive Nevada energy plus recirced Cali back to the Cali centers.
Enron and others did this for quite sometime, bilking significant sums in a perfectly legitimate, but hatable scheme.
Alot of the US economy is like this, companies managing to get control and then exercising mass profits.

>we pretend that it is ****

these are the worst kind of threads.

enron crashed in december 2001. so if you spent 10k in shares only 3 months before it ended, you're shit out of luck.

Has anyone seen that new matrix movie?

>i can't talk about year 2001 because i could barely walk back then
>t-these threads are worst!!1

just downloaded this new Staind album

it's totally gnarly

Anyone want to play a round of Renegade Glacier_Flying with me on Gamespy? I have a premium account.

i wish i could but punkbuster permabanned me for screen recording my gameplay.

:___;

it was better back then

my 56k modem was comfy af

I never understand why people don't just record it using a vga splitter to RCA box from Viewsonic. I mean then you can always have the VHS of the match to replay when Esports are a thing.

I had roadrunner by 2001.
I always hosted the multiplayer games for some reason.

what are esports again? is that how you say sports in spanish?

the real way i recorded my screen in 2001 was to have a VGA/RCA splitter and loop it back into the firewire device.

E-sports, its like E-commerce now, but for sports. I'm telling you its already a thing over in South Vietnam with Starcroid. Something like that, I really hope somebody makes some translation software someday for this. I mean you should have enough spots in Unicode to setup a link for their runes.

there's emojis in unicode, but still no moon runes eh?

Why would you really care to add a defunct economy into it? That whole area was supposed to take over the world, now they can't even take over some pixels. I'm oretty curious though if Iran or Turkey will get a nuclear reactor first. I mean Iran already has a medical one in Tehran, but the Bosphorus has a natural nuclear reactor caused from biomatter and the ore in there.

All my Jewish coworkers have called out of work tomorrow... Should I go??? I work at the WTC.

You guys like this album i just got it its a bit weird but enjoyable

is august 25th some special holiday for jews?

>downloading some anime on Limewire

August 25th? Why? Tomorrow's September 11th

Would be playing Half-Life 1 and Sven Co-op like I did back then too.

played that game on the macs at school. finding the cheats was silly fun

that's not for 2 weeks.

Just got this album off of Limewire, it's pretty great, would recommend.
Long live the king!

feels.

>gayming glove

Wait what the fuck is that?

Pst... Hey. You guys wanna hear some crazy shit? You have to promise you won't laugh or tell me to get a tin foil hat. Ok?.... There's this government organization called the NSA... They're watching everything we do on our PCs! They're even listening in on all the chat rooms! You guys have to believe me!!!!

the NSA has never been a secret agency.

>1.7GHz
>2001
nice meme

That's not entirely accurate.

we would have believed you then. The NSA key was about to be a thing too.

Usenet Newsgroups are the best. I could browse them all day.

>Upgrading a botnet.

dude fuck XP that shit's slower than windows 2000.

Hi is it ok if 7 year olds chat here? I got my dads computer he got a new one and I been learning how to use it and I help my mom learn to use excel but dont tell her I chat becuse she heard from the news that its dangiros. You anyone heard of D S L? We have d s L its sooooooo much faster than the modem its so fun.

I was using a Pentium 166 MMX with Windows 2000. How about that.

Yes, you totally embody 2001. I remember having this exact convo back in the day but I was using AOL instant messenger instead.

Buyin more gold than Mr. T

If being 14 irks you so much why don't you got yell about graphics cards and shit up the board some more?

My boss told me that I was our top salesman for the week of September 3-7 when we got back to work today. I kinda want to party, but what if I miss work tomorrow? I can't be out of the office, I've been on fire recently and I don't want to crash and burn now.

I'm so glad that I became a software engineer! It really fulfills my desire to be around sophisticated individuals with a narrow niche like computer science. Nobody's trying to impress the boss and we're all doing good work without having to have seven team project meetings a day. And if we do, they're always during a day when we're tackling actual issues as a group, not just one person's bug-causing, fuck-up code.

Reality:
>Windows 2000/XP a shit. Win98SE forever, fuck MICROSHIT

98 was a shitty crash-fest that made the BSOD famous.
XP was a massive improvement.

what? i have a 1.8ghz p4 towards the end of 2001. i think i got it around november. def in 2001 though.

Well, I finally got a new laptop to replace my Amiga, and Windows ME is horrible.
