Is your computer at work better than yours at home?

nothing like that where I work.

My computer has a slower processor than where I work, but I have far more memory and hard drive storage, plus a video card rather than integrated graphics... and my cable internet access is much faster than the bandwidth I'm allowed after whatever the school gets is split over several hundred computers. - slow enough that we're not supposed to use any video streaming.

Yeah, they're all much better.

Work Computer Number 1:
Dell Inspiron 600m
1.7GHz Pentium M
512MB RAM
40GB 5400RPM HD
64MB Radeon 9000

Work Computer Number 2:
P4 3.4GHz HT
1GB RAM
80GB 7200RPM SATA
128MB x300

Home Computer:
Athlon XP 1600+
1GB RAM
160GB
64MB GeForce4 MX440

I also have a server in my cubicle.

I hate those Sun servers that have no video. it's really fun when they crash and you have no clue what's wrong with them, because there's no video

goolge : serial console

 

[Redviffer]

heck no! ...and when they get close to being as powerful, then its time for me to upgrade. (but really, some of the computers we are using are still in the PIII 500 range, so I've got a LOT of breathing room)

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

not a chance

 

[lokiju]

Nope.

 

[FoBoT]

about the same

 

[Rage187]

Most of our software is still written for DOS 6.2.

 

[toant103]

nope.

 

[lobadobadingdong]

my computer at work is at home. (and it's one of my home pc's too)

 

[ElFenix]

you tell me

home computer:
athlon xp @ 2ghz (reaches a bit north of 2.3 before something craps out... probably the ram, maybe the board)
1 gig ram
radeon 9800 pro
santa cruz
1 200 gig seagate, 1 160 gig seagate, 1 80 gig seagate

school computer:
dell 600m
1.4 ghz pentium m
1 gig ram
radeon 9000 64 meg
40 gig 5400 rpm

yes, it doesn't game as fast as the big desktop... then again, the school computer weighs about 6 lbs and can last a 10 hour transatlantic flight on the batteries i have for it, whereas the desktop + monitors weighs well over 100 lbs and barely lasts 10 minutes on its UPS

I don't have a job right now... my laptop for school kicks my home computer's ass... but other than that there's really no comparison.

 

[imported_Phil]

Nope. P3 1Ghz, 640Mb RAM (I use VMWare quite a lot), crappy 40Gb Seagate 5400rpm hard disk, 8x half-broken CD burner.

Home machine is a 2600+ @ 2.2Ghz, 1Gb RAM, 320Gb over two disks, 9600 Pro, 4x Pioneer DVD-R, etc.

 

[imported_Phil]

[Edit] Goddamn / errors...

 

[vshah]

nope
work: p42.8, 1gb ram, 80gb drive, 17" crt, INTEL EXTREME(ly sucky) gfx

home p43@3.5, 1gb corsair xms, >1TB drive space, 2x19" crts, 6800gt

 

[BespinReactorShaft]

Not anymore since 2004.

 

[DurocShark]

I just got a brand new Compaq/HP and my old Barton 2500 rig still spanks it. Hah!

Though my work laptop is better than my personal laptop. Only cuz I have no reason to spend my money to upgrade it when I'll never use it as long as I have the one from work.

option for VERY SIMILAR?

 

[DaFinn]

Hmm, I have a IBM T41p laptop at work, and a... well IBM T41p at home. So... no, or yes... or well, hmm. We need more options, like "Same".

 

[RaymondY]

Since my rig at is also mine, it is slight better than my home machine. My rig at home has a 9800Pro vs the 5900nu at work.

 

[Aharami]

no. my computer at home is better

 

[Tremulant]

No.

Work PC:
PIII 933Mhz
512MB PC133 SDRAM
GeForce 4MX 440 video card

Home PC:
Athlon 64 3000+
1GB PC3200 DDR (2x512)
ATi Radeon 9800 Pro

My home pc kicks the ass of my work pc.. but my work pc is sufficient for what I do.

 

[PricklyPete]

My work laptop and desktop are both less powerful than my home computer...although they are both decent machines (P4s with 512MB+ of memory).

 

[dragonballgtz]

I dont use a computer at work so no.

 

[EngenZerO]

nope... hell my computer @ home is better than our graphics labs computers @ OSU.
