Ok, I have myself a Dell Dimension 8200 from about 2001 I think...And yea, well it's time to go
I do digital work (photo, artwork, post and pre-press work) mostly for fun and for some freelance jobs...Anywho, My computer has seen better days...And worst of all it's stuffed with RDRAM
I'm looking to either build a rig, or upgrade this one...I'm leaning more towards building a rig, simply because I am fascinated with computers, and have yet to build one in the 10 years I've been using them...
Here's my current specs on my Dell:
XP Home edition
Intel P4 2.0ghz
256mb RDRAM
40gb HD
GeForce 64mb video
soundblaster Live!
thats my base...as far as my chipset goes, hell if I know, i can't even fidn the paperwork for this computer anymore...Is there a way to find out what the exact models and types of components i have? I've checked system info, but nothing really comes up more-so than what I've listed above...
I'm looking for a high performance righ...capable of running photoshop and illustrator together, as well as maybe even other apps...
any help would be great!
