Is your computer at work better than yours at home?

nope, but i start a new job monday so i might have to change my answer

 

[Schrodinger]

Athlon Thunderbird 1.33 GHz w/ 1GB PC133 at home
P4 1.8+ GHz w/ 512MB DDR333? at work (this is the minimal...most are now above this spec)

I'm a programmer so speed of computers is pretty low on the list for me. Once my IDE starts up (VS .NET is fast... NetBeans takes a year or two) I'm good to go. All that I request is that I have a high quality monitor capable of 1280x960 that presents text well.

Compilation times are really minor. If I save 5 or 10 seconds with a newer comp its not worth it to me.

computers at work blow.

home
athlon64 3000

work
500 mhz celeron

stupid banks.

 

[MetalMat]

Wow, back from the dead thread. Anyways, since the original start of this thread my at home computer is better than the work one now.

 

[tami]

no.

 

[Muadib]

No, the PC at work is a Pentium 2. My home PC is a AMD Athlon 64 3200. I'm due for a new work PC though.

 

[Klandestine]

my work computer is a pos, getting a new one soon

As are we at my company

I'm part of the rollout of the new machines (3Ghz P4, 512Mb, 80Gb HD) as well as writing half the core code for the PC configurator.

FYI, Progress sucks.

[Edit] Nuts to that, I'm actually writing all of the core code, and then spending time showing the boss how it works, while masking my "amusing" comments.

 

[Lumathix]

nope

 

[jlee]

Definitely not. Most of the computers at work suck..and the one that doesn't isn't too useful at the moment.

 

[BW86]

nope.

 

[seanws]

the computers at my work are the absolute bare minimum to run the software we need to get the job done

 

[ConwayJim]

Work has a better machine, but mine runs much faster then it.

 

[gutharius]

My computer at home makes both of the computers on my work desk look like pieces of shitza.

i voted yes ... although only 1 of my 2 computers here at work is better.

i put yes because my main developing maching here is Dual 2Ghz, 1Ghz RAM, GeForce FX 5400. the only downside is its a MAC, but it's not that bad now that I'm used to it. I still would not trade a normal PC for a Mac, even w/these specs. at home i have an xp 2400+ w/1.5Ghz RAM and a Saphire Radeon 9500NP @ 9700. oh, and my windows machine here is only like 1Ghz w/512mb RAM.

mine is a Thin client machine at work...so its not even close to my home system

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

 

[rudeguy]

heck no...we are pretty much in the pre-dos phase at work.

At home I run Win ME. BSOD is the best!

 

[Armitage]

Well, my desktop @ home is better then my desktop @ work. But I use some much better systems at work (20 node cluster, 2.6GHz dual xeons, 2GB RAM, GB ethernet, 3TB server). I have access to a much bigger cluster as well ... I think they're up to about 300 nodes now, but I don't use it much.

when i was working during the summer, the work computer was POS.. so I ended up bringing my home computer to work. Didn't really affect me that much though since I could use my dad's computer, and I had dialup back home.

Home: Athlon 64 3400, 1GB Memory, 2 x 250GB SATA HD, Windows XP HOME, BFG 6800 OC Video Card

Work: Athlon 64 2800, 1GB Memory, 2 x 250GB SATA HD, Windows 2000 Pro, MSI Radeon 9800 Video Card
Mac G5/1.8DP, 1.2GB Memory, 2 x 160GB SATA HD

 

[bluestrobe]

My home machine:

Athlon XP +3000
Abit NF7-2
1gb Ram
40gb HD

Work computer:
Dell SSF
800mhz Celeron
128mb ram

So my home computer isnt the best but its faster

 

[FrustratedUser]

[jjones]

I work at home so they are both the same computer.

Abit NF7-S
1gb PC2700 running at PC3200
Radeon 9700np running at a bit faster than Pro speeds
2x250gb HDs
2x180gb HDs
2x120gb HDs

Holy Terabyte storage batman.
My rig is similar, AXP2500 @3200, NF7-S, 9700Pro, 1Gig PC3200 but only 390Gb of HD space.
