FINALLY !!!!! New Computer !

Vicious_2003 · Dec 12th, 2003, 06:42 PM

I just got a new computer from a local rental center. Ive been wanting one for ages being that my old one was on life support and rarely went half a day without crashing. Anyway the new one will cost me a fortune. It will be 2,000 american dollars over 3 months and 4,000 if I dont pay it off sooner than latest. I plan on paying 2,000 $.

Anyway I got a brand new Compaq with a 2.7 GHz processor, 512 DDR SDRAM memmory, a 120 GB Ultra DMA hard drive, a DVD drive and a CD-RW drive, and a 17" Flatscreen LCD monitor.

I know this isnt big news for everyone, but its MAJOR to me. I thought id be stuck with that hunk of crap PC I had 4ever.

And btw, are there any really cool features that XP has that I didnt have with Windows 98, I havent used Xp much at all ?

None that I can see, we've had a PC with XP for months now. I guess the organization of the windows on the bar at the bottom is better. Instead of putting a new window at the end of the list if it's the same type of window as another it's grouped with that. Other than that, I have no idea.

That sounds a pretty good PC, though you've kind of left out the most important detail, the bit that makes or breaks a modern PC: What GFX card do you have? For $2000, i wouldn't have settled for anything bellow a Radeon 9800, or a GeForce FX 5900....

As for OSs, i've always prefered Windows 2000. It's pretty stable, being able to recover from most program crashes without locking up. Shame about the "saving settings" problems you get after a very long period on the comp (sometimes, it takes a minute to shutdown, which is real pain in the arse when you shutdown in order to get out of the house real quick). I've not used XP much, but theres somthing about the Teletubby colour scheme and menus which prejudices me against it

Actually, I know thats important to most. But I dont game on my PC. And If I ever do the only ones I play are RTS's . And most RTS's dont demand alot out of a graphics card. In fact I dont even know what kind of graphic card this thing is carrying. Ill have to find out though

BTW, how Do you find that out on XP. Or do you have to open up the PC and look ?

Oh I definately did some hatin on that thing. I took a 5 foot black iron pole to it . It was in several peices before I was finished. Unfortunoutly my ethernet port was still hooked up during the beating. Luckily for me though it survived the onslaught. I highly suggest you get a new one too. know you guys have been thinking about it for a while. Its hard to describe how much better it is, not having to illegallly shut it down all the time, and not having pop ups bog everything down. Not to mention I can run I mesh and browse the web without any slow downs. But then again my old computer was in MUCH worse shape than yours . I dont know why though, could have been the punching and slamming it fell victim to everytime it froze, but who knows ?

Well my mom is getting a new one. Hers is twice as old as mine. Mine still works fine. I treat with TLC

. It could be that I have more RAM. Boy was that a waste of money....
