Can you ever own the best computer?

Question

With all of the best and fastest technology coming out monthly how do you know if your computer is " Top Shelf"?

Answer 1

Hey, I have a dual Pentium Pro 200mhz server, with 12 bays for CD/DVD burners, has Scsi controllers and 4 drives. It was the topnotch server setup on wheels, with a nice big door, quick change drives (hot swap scsi), in 1996!

In 2003, it was given to me and had crappy old NT on it. I installed Knoppix Linux, and it is now a capable home network server.

Old iron is pretty great, too. It is a case of using the appropriate tool for the job. This is being composed on an 800Mhz Dell Dimension 4100 (FREE, curbside!), running http://pclinuxos.com

How much money do you want to throw at this "having the neatest, fastest, most complex machine that I can't even really use, as I am so stupid about the 500+ real Operating Systems, and am all wrapped up with bragging rights!"

An AMD or Intel dual core processor, running at 3 to 6 Ghz, with 1 Gb of RAM, running *BSD or GNU/Linux would be the delight of his life for a forensic security expert, or an astronomer, or a geek, for years.

'Top Shelf' could mean you want the fastest OS, to run the hardware best. A good BSD, Gentoo, or LFS (Linux, compiled by your system, From Scratch), which is precisely suited to your hardware, but, you could start with http://pclinuxos.com

Learn the basics of making the system optimal for your purposes. Learn all the hot OSes for great performance.

This is like you buy a really great and fully fitted out sports car, but, you can't drive a stick, or shift in a reliable manner. And, you don't really want to to spend the money to attend the Bob Bondurant Race Car Driver School.

Yeah, it is all about 'bragging rghts'.

You, and your type, disgust the real computer enthusiasts who know how to make the winning benchmarks.

Answer 2

It became a custom construct that I had to grant to my daughter for faculty. Intel center i7-2600k CPU 8gb DDR3-2133 G.means Ripjaws X Asus P8P67 WS Revolution Motherboard 128gb SSD Corsair performance 3 WD Black 750gb frustrating force Nvidia GTX 570 snap shots card. also, 5 years in the past i purchased an HP Pavilion a1610n personal computer that grew to develop into out to be tremendously good after I bumped off the Shovelware. It runs high-quality, by no ability broke down, and so on. Out of the 4 major call manufacturers i might want to %. HP for the computers. Dell is junk and so is Acer (aka, eMachines and Gateway).

Answer 3

The Performance Game is endless. To measure truly what is the "BEST" computer you have to factor in "VALUE". You can buy the most expensive and outrageous parts on the market and build a speed demon...but in 3 to 6 mos....you are still paying for it and there is something faster available. The best computer comes from selecting components that are just enough behind the performance curve to cost less and give very comparable performance.....that way you have......as much speed but a lot less debt.

Answer 4

With the rate of advancement being done with technology and computers, by the time computers come out on the shelves for you to buy at the stores they are already obsolete.

Answer 5

No way. Only if you buy all the best parts for it like:
- The newest Video Card
- The Newest Sound Card
- The Newest Hard Drive
And al that
Hope I Helped YOu.
Bye.

Answer 6

I don't think it's possible unless you have unlimited funds and extremely savvy on what will come out at what time. I think you would be doing nothing but upgrading and never enjoying lol.

Answer 7

Your computer can only be the best for about a month. Then it's outdated and slow.

Answer 8

It can be, but a week down the road it's allready out dated.

Answer 9

seems like someone always out does you.

Answer 10

no
