No, not up yet. Still writing the site, and I'm currently waiting for a friend to recieve a digital camera so I can take some pictures. My goal with the site is to provide tutorials on watercooling and cooling with peltiers. I'll post a note here when the site is up.

In my opinion, good programming code is much more important than
the CPU's working frequency.

Yes, but it's still interesting to see how fast machines people have.

Finding a solution to the world's hunger problem is much more precious than good programming. Does this mean that we should also not talk about programming?

I'm the happy owner of three.
Pentium I 133 Mhz (Win 95)
Pentium II 300 Mhz (Win 98)
Pentium III 600 but working at 450 Mhz (Win 2K)
They are all working fine.
Visual Studio 6 is working well on everyone of these.

Visual Studio 6 is working on PI-133 but compiling is very slow !
(i had PI-133 with 48MB RAM and after two month (without reinstalling win) i had to restart windows every two hours and vs every one hour)
It was horrible

I should be upgrading to a 2.4Ghz, 512MB system some time soon. Compared to my 850, 256MB I expect to see quite an improvement!
Plus extra disk sapce, I already have 4 HD's in my machine for a total of 8Gig. Just to get a new 40Gig drive......

Just under the stats for this survey there is an "Other Surveys" link. Click there, then look at the top of the new page (right hand side) there is a "suggest a survey" link

but since the machine is a POS* Compaq, it feels about the same speed as my home system (dual Celerons at 600). I swear, Compaq should get a Nobel Prize for the high-tech solution they must have developed to take high-powered hardware and make it perform 3 years behind its own abilities.

Strange, I'm posting this from my Compaq Laptop which is a 1.7Ghz P4.
Compared to my workstation, dual AMD 1800+, is also feels like 1.7Ghz
What about ram, do you have more at home?

I have 256 in the Compaq, 384 at home. However, I've used a handful of Compaqs over the years and they have all felt sluggish, certainly not what I'd expect from machines with their specs.

Speaking of speed, has anyone noticed that Windows NT progressively gets slower over time?
I had to re-install Win NT on my machine last year, and it was noticably faster for the first month, almost like having a new machine, then progressively it went back to the slow crawl as before. I tried defragging my HD and even trying to compress the registry, but it makes no difference. I'm convinced it's something to do with the way NT is designed.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah. I noticed that too. I noticed that if I created a new user and logged into it, NT would speed up again. I figured it must be with my ntuser.dat file getting too big.
Also, I noticed it *significant* slowdown if I installed any Norton programs or utilities.

If you're an on a network, your user information is read from the PDC if you log on. This user information include (or could include): wallpaper, screensaver, start menu, my documents, ...
Under Win2K look at C:\documents and settings\yourusername
Everything in it (except in Local Settings) is copied from and to the network server.
Another way to look at its size is to go to the control panel, choose System, then the tab 'User Profiles'. Mine is about 28 MB. If the profile's type is 'Roaming' it is copied from/to the network server.
Enjoy life, this is not a rehearsal !!!

(addition to what Patje said)
Also note that the contents of the desktop is handeled this way, i.e. if you like some ppl (me for example) put various stuff on the desktop (I pretty much use it as my 'downloaded' directory), that could cause some lag during startup.
It should not cause any slowness in general thogh, when the system is up and running.

As you install more applications, your environment variables, such as path, are getting longer. That will slow you down.

Coupled with DDR Ram and a 80 GB HD and a Radeon Video Card they sure get the job done
