Welcome to the IHoP

Going to apply for a job as a programmer and I have a question about writing the resume :

Considering I have zero work experience in the field, is it ok to add any other work experience ?

Only place I worked was on constructio sites, on backhoe loader

Definitely okay, work experience shows you will show up as for the required job application experience that will be up to your interview.

Just sent it.

Hopefully I'll get a positive reply since the company is looking for college students.

Hmm, I need 4 more serial ports and a couple more DVI outputs on my pc. Considering, I am thinking of building a new PC altogether. Since I built mine a long time ago I am no longer up to speed on what is available and want to skip the re-learning curve. I know for my needs (internet and home automation) that I don't need much of a PC in particular since I will never game, but I'd like something that will last me a while even if I have to upgrade my operating system *pukes*. Any new sites that outline/test the differences between different proc's from AMD/Intel?

For longevity/upgradeable I'd go with Intels i7 platform, AMD hasn't really caught up yet. I believe Mark recently built an i7 platform also. And you computer is not that old, I'm still running on a socket A platform.

In my reviews of things Tom's seems to be biased and for the wrong reasons, but again old info here.

AMD has had its ass handed to it ever since Intel released their Core series of CPU's a few years back. If you want the end all be all fastest, the current Intel Core i7 is it...

How big was the fuse on the flux capacitor?

what kind of $$ are you looking to spend? when i built the sisters' computer i think i had about $1200 in it and it was actually quite badass even though it's no longer working just like every other piece of electronic equipment she's ever had

I just need a proc, m-board, ram & video card. No real price point as I could spend whatever, but as with all PC stuff there is a logical threshold. Normally I buy the generation that just got knocked out by the latest so that you don't take the depreciation hit when a new chip comes out.

I'd like to pick a socket that will stick around for a while if that is possible since last time I bought a 754 which allows no growth.

A bonus would be to have an AGP and some PCI slots on the M-board, but I am willing to forego my current add-on cards if it makes more sense.

In bold is his usual credo.

PM you in a moment.

Got the PM, thank you. I'll call him tomorrow as I have three more mini-conferences and then off for some Sushi

sushi FTMFW!

[dem beats 1,223]

i don't know about which are the newest socket styles but i used 775 with the sis's actually here's the rundown

GIGABYTE GA-G33M-S2L LGA 775 Intel G33 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - absolutely loved this board for $95, though if I was building it again I'd probably spend more here. The gigabyte was flawless in function and decent overclocking abilities. The down side was "only" 8gig of ram supported (4x2gig) and apparently it can be finicky with the quad core processors.

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ - this is the ram i used, absolutely fantastic for the limited time i used it, even put this ram in my niece's comp because I liked it so much and hers is still running fine. ($170 total)

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8400 - went with a dual-core as I wasn't impressed with the performance/$ of the quad cores, they were too new at the time and haven't checked the pricing lately. ($195)

EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - i would hump this card....that is all ($150)

that's just a rundown for example, i ran call of duty 4 on her setup and it never ever gave me any issues, i still miss that damn computer actually, it ran cold as fuck too.

btw the missing $$ from the $1200 to make her computer was all the accessories that she wanted as well as a full OS which i got lucky and got for cheap cheap

Pay for OS? Anyone know how many pc's you can put XP on and still have it be "verified"?

Retail you can do as many as you want. OEM 1 computer. It creates a file lists all hardware and applies a point checklist, if you replace more parts than the thresh hold of that checklist, you will need to call MS and say that it's still you still one computer and to fix ya shizle.

The very best way to get any job is to already have a job.

Same rules apply to women. When you start dating a chika, they will crawl out of the woodwork for you.

I don't need the end all, but have a tendency to go overboard.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Intel Core 2 Quad/AMD Phenom II something or other with a shit load of RAM is probably at a more reasonable price point....but then again reasonable price point is in the eye of the beerholder.

I have the OEM version that came with my dell laptop on 3 pc's right now :eek:

wait until you get married, at that instant I could have anyone in the room

[///M5 2,833]

Gee, thanks for the invite. Prick.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

I'd definitely go with Core i7 myself though...

I am not counting in 20's, but 100's. Thresholds are meant to be logical but stretched.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

well considering we are talking about you, the choice is rather obvious

You can call MS and just tell them the old machine took a dump and you had to get new parts. They will probably go for it.
