Happy Holidays!

Not much a amd fan but yeah nice find!

Looks decent but I'd definitely upgrade the memory. 2 GB at 64 bit is almost like having 1 GB on a 32 bit OS. It has to do with the way memory is allocated and used. It's a bit lean. 4 GB minimum, 8 GB much better! :thumbsup

It's amazing...
My first "real" computer I got in 1998. Al4a and I went to Circuit City and got the most powerful PC's they had for our office. HP's with Pentium 3 800 Mhz processors and 256KB of ram

We were like: "Wow! This shit is smoking fast!" And they cost over $3,000 each. We were so impressed that you could actually burn a CD on them. lol

Amazing how far things have come in such a short time.

I rememnber getting the pentuim 1 @ 75 mhz, like 200mb hd with 16 g of ram or something

As long as it plays world of warcraft ....

I remember buying my first xt system at radio shack and the salesman telling me it had the new
30mb hard drive and how it would take a lifetime to use all that space lol

You guys remember the "turbo button"? :)

:thumbsup

And it would have too! There weren't many files back then of any real size for the average consumer to have or ever use.

I think it was back around 2000 that engineers said we had reached the limits of hard drive capacity. I think our hp's had 80 gig hard drives and that was HUGE.

And then like a year later I read this scientific report that Israeli scientist had figured out a way to put more data on hard drives and now the sky was the limit. lol

I always figured there must have been a UFO crash right about then and some reverse engineering going on to figure it out. heh-heh

i bought most of my stuff from newegg for my i7 980x 6 core desktop

i dont trust myself putting it together
ive done it in the past but knowing me - ill mess something up lol
