another year, another post

oh damn.

You have got to be kidding me...

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Vegitto4 [/i] [B]I am perfectly fine with my DSL connection, on my p3, and XP You just dont get better than a 1.5 up and down connection, thats cheap. Its almost a T3. [/B][/QUOTE] Um - a T3 goes up to 45 mbps (that's megabits, not megabytes... just to clarify, since most people are ignorant to this anyway =P) and costs about 15,000 a month or so. A T1 is 1.5 up/down. I still kick myself for getting a P4 when I did (last july) - I'll probably never buy another Intel processor =]. I remember using AOL 2.0 (yes, I should be killed for touching this retarded ISP) on a 2.4 kbps modem =]... Hmm.. yeah..

Hmm 40 gigs and broadband don't mix =]. Everytime after formatting, I max out my hard drive in 2 days. I have a burner, but I get lazy - and so the burning goes on rarely... Like when I acquire a new piece of.. ahem.. software. That's a nice system - what flavor of the GeForce 4 do you have? MX420, 440? Ti 4200, 4400, or 4600?

Definitely a great game - has been screwing with my study time for AP exams =].. But those are over so all I have left to do is lots of music and morrowind! I bought this game May 2nd and play it in all my free time! I restarted it with at least 10 different characters - currently I'm a Breton that's a fighter/mage. Let's see.. It's incredibly open ended. For example, since I first found out what the main quest was, I haven't touched it. All I've been working on is side quests and exploring dungeons. Really cool when you go through a dungeon and find great armor or a cool weapon. As you level up, the fights get very easy. Joining different guilds is great, too - there's just so much depth here, it's incredible. Bah.. it'll never cut into my gym time... So I must leave for the gym! (A gime? what's a gime? Oooh! A giiiiiime!)

Coming up on the 12th year of piano, 7 years on violin. Picked up a guitar recently because it's so easy to learn the chords (helps me for my composition). Yeah, ultimately I want to either be a network systems administrator or a film/game score composer =].

Hrm.. It's a performing arts high school - me goes for piano and violin... [url]http://www.laguardiahs.org[/url]

Erm.. Let's see - recently it was my 11th year of piano (mostly classical, but I do some of my own improvisation and composition)... 6 years on violin... When in elementary, I tried some instruments but didn't enjoy them - so that's it =]. I have juries and recitals coming up.. fun fun! [edit] I'll add two classical pieces for yee to listen to (they're both new, from a recital I played recently) Black Key Etude by Chopin - [url]http://www.total3d.com/etude.mp3[/url] Shcerzo by Muczynski - [url]http://www.total3d.com/scherzo.mp3[/url]

just gonna put up a pic to prove my rating (3)

hrm, out of all the people that replied so far... I'll be first to say I'm ugly and actually live up to it =] so .. um.. 3 for me

expressionism is more of a general style of music that began at the start of the 20th century, all that inner artistic stuff. serialism is a style of music developed in the same time which uses a definite order of notes that are the thematic basis for a musical composition.. basically what I'm trying to say is they're different =]

hell yah, he's an awesome composer. The one that invented serialism (the 12 tone system)

You mean AMD is the company =].. At the current moment, if you were to ask me what the best chip is, I'd say the AMD Athlod XP 1900+. It's clocked at 1.6 GHz - and no, don't tell me "the pentium 4 is clocked at 2 GHz and over, now!" It makes no difference anymore, at least not between these two different companies. AMD used to suck (with the k6-2 line they had), but they drastically improved, so make sure you get that new computer with their processor.

Since SSJ5 Vegeta summed up practically everything I could've said I'll just comment on the video part... Oh yeah, and I'd get an Abit or Epox motherboard... Anyway, yeah double data rate (DDR) ram would be the best type you can get right now, as long as the mobo supports it =]... OK well for the video cards: Right now, Nvidia and ATI are the only true competitors in making top of the line chips, and the two best cards available on the market now are the GeForce3 Ti-500 and Radeon 8500. These are for regular users, others who focus on graphics work in applications should get an Oxygen card.. but anyway dont' get voodoos, they're not in production and 3dfx has been dead since the beginning of this year (bought their technology, yet hasn't really been using it). Getting outdated technology would be the worst part in a new computer =]. But since you really don't care about the video in your computer, jus you could always get a GeForce2 MX or Ti-200. The kyro2 chipset is alright, or you can settle for one of ATI's lower end cards. [edit]note I didn't say who bought their technology - it was Nvidia... dunno why I didn't say it... hmm.. oh well[/edit]
