Yes! April 20 Is New Computer Time!
Woohoo! My sister is coming home on April 20 (or around that) from University. And she is bringing home her computer. It is a :
P3, 900 Megs 256 MB RAM 20 Gig HD 19 inch monitor bunch of speakers Ummm... I dont know what else. But I cannot wait! I can finally buy some computer games... I'll probably buy Counter Strike because I think that game is the best computer game of all time. |
Heh... well now I'm feeling all smug, I'll just use this as an excuse to update my system specs:
P3 1GHz 384 MB RAM 30 GB SCSI hard drive running applications 40 GB IDE hard drive for storing documents (well, mp3's anyway) nVidia Riva TNT2 (sucks I know, but I don't care) External v.92 modem (rocks severely - it'll even tell me if someone is trying to call the phone, and will even flash their number up on screen... best of all, it'll let me suspend my internet connection to take the call so I can get back online without dialing in - I had to buy this cos my old modem won't work under Linux) DVD-ROM CD-RW 100 MB USB Zip Dual boot of Windows 2000 and Mandrake Linux 8.2, which rocks by the way |
cool... I'll probably upgrade from this 300 Mhz P2 in about... 2 years... :unsure:

Yeah, dialup sucks, but ADSL and cable just aren't options for me at the moment. Being a student, I have sod all money. ADSL costs about £30 a month plus installation and a new modem, cable costs about £30-40 a month plus installation and a new modem. Oh, and I move out in August anyway, so there's no point. Once I get a job, I'm gonna get my own place, install a nice fat 2 Mbit ADSL cable, jack it in the back of a Linux box I'll use as my local server and just plug ethernet cables all over the house. Ah yes, then tyhe internet will be mine... I shall be able to download por... I mean, music 24 hours a day! "Bah! All you poor saps have to pay for an internet connection.. *laughs*" Well, if I'd gone back into halls I'd have a free share of one of the universities 8 T3 lines, which would have been nice. But living in halls sucks. Ah well, now I shall return to my fantasies about what computer I am going to build once I have a job... I'm thinking of a dual Athlon at the moment... |
Well, I get free internet because my dad works at home, so Compaq pays for a bunch of stuff -- they pay for the internet bill, 1/3 of the electricity bill, which in turn means less my family has to pay on taxes, so it's all good.
