Here's the deal: about every one or two months, one of these crops up. To prevent that, this thread will be moved to Other Hardware, and then stickied. Any other dream machine threads after that time WILL be locked.
So, for the (hopefully) last time, have at it!
EDIT: Oh, I forgot to post my specs...
Apple IIgs
7.0mhz 65C816 (Zip Chip)
Apple SC CD Drive
Two Apple 5.25 drives
Two Apple 3.5 drives
Apple IIgs Color Monitor
200MB WD SCSI Harddrive

the only thing i didnt like about the x2 5000 was that it was 2x512 l2 cache as apposed to the s939 x2 4000 and the am2 x2 5200 which are both 2x1mb l2 cache

My dream PC is a pre-built. I just like them better.

Now, you're thinking "why a crappy Compaq". Well it isn't.
I would max the memory out (4GB), and install a 500GB Hard drive onto it, and add another DVD-RW. Plus, most importantly, a Video card, and a fresh copy of XP Pro SP2 OEM. I hate that software that comes with Compaq. Lots of stuff, and Norton's included :(

I agree with you there. My Celeron would be my dream machine if i had the 2GB ram on it.
Posted by: lhuser
All I would want in a dream machine is just something decent...like an E6600 or E6700 if I want to waste.

bah. how about a MP machine with some balls :D
i'm talking something along the lines of quad Woodcrest chips.

my dream machine ummm... well i think ...... ummm... maybe... oh i know... its a nice muscle car!!... oops not that machine.. well basicly i can handle anyhting that is there for me to use i dont' care as long as its a comptuer with the internet :D oh... and something faster then 56k would have to be needed also..

I'l wait for Quad Conroe/Kensington Boards to come out, Quad Kengsingtons, 16 cores, 16 GB of ram, 5 SCSI HD's, 1K Psu, 2 R600's In crossfire. Watercooling. Oh boy.

i may be wrong but as far as i know you really would be dreaming if you want a MP system with Conroe/Kensington Processors. Intel will not include MP support on their desktop processors. the MP machine you may remember Tyan advertising as having Conroe processors used clustering. the only way to use multiple processors from Intel will be to use Xeons.

Dream Machine you say?
AMD Opteron
4GB of RAM
1TB of HD space
7900GT
Apple 24" LCD Monitor
Pricey, but it's my dream machine!
Posted by: Apokalipse
let's see.. an AMD 4X4 system, with four of AMD's top quad core processors once they come out..
I'd say 4GB RAM (1GB stick per quad core chip.. or 2 x 512's per chip if they support dual channel individually) - I'm not going to use more than that now... and more would slow it down probabbly
and also, 2 x X2800 XTX's in crossfire when they come out
oh, and a fibre optic internet connection
you know, I'd most likely end up running about 12 instances of folding@home on it at once, and leave 4 of the cores for other stuff... I'd still have extreme multitasking WHILE being an insane folding@home contributor
Posted by: NosBoost300
what is this kensington.. i thought it was kentsfield.... well anyway.. my dream machine would be
4 kentsfields
32 Gigs of ram
4 15,000 SCSI Hard drives
2 R600's In Crossfire
2 1KW PSU's (you never know how much power you'll need!)
Dell 30 Inch Monitor
2 Blue Ray Drive
2 DVD Drives
Phase Change Cooling for all 4 cpu's!
That X-fi With 64 MB Ram (hahaha.. why?)
i pretty much just named lord anthrax's list lol..
well since its a dream...
how about... 4 cell processors!!! instead! haha
Posted by: nitestick
sorry i'm not sure where this stuff about Kensington came from as i can't seem to find any substantial information about it, i have no idea what i was on about :p
been through a lot of Intel press releases just a moment ago to try and catch up
Clovertown=2 way Xeon quad core
Tigerton=MP Xeon quad core
those are the Core 2 Quad processors that will be required for multi-processor systems.
Kentsfield is a desktop one-way processor and will not be able to be used in multi-processor systems. i repeat will not be able to be used in multi-processor systems. that is why you've never seen a dual P4 system, they can't be made.
[quote]oh, and a fibre optic internet connection[/quote]
with Telstra? you are dreaming :D. it'll be a long time before we get that in Perth, our network is so dated.

well, i guess that counts, kinda, i mean it is dell. i say if you like the way an ailenware looks, go to ebay and find an ailenware case, then put ur own parts into it.
