Well, I finally updgarded my piece of shit PC. I had a PII 300 iwth 64MB of ram and an 8MB video card. I got tired of playing DoD on my laptop. And then, the opportunity came...

My friend decide to upgrad his PC (from 6 months ago) so he sold me his mother board, processor (AMD Athlon 1800) and included 256 MB DDR Ram. All for the low low price of $200 CAD, installed!!! Then I bought an ATI Radeon 9000 with 64MB ($150 CAD). Oh My Fucking God!!!! DoD is an entirely new game now! The graphics are incredible. And that's a 5 year old engine!!!! I can't wait to buy newer, state of the art games! Mmmmmmmmmmmm.... new games....

Well, I just bought one of these... a Toshiba Satellite 1905.



Specs:
Processor: Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 2GHz
Memory: 256MB SDRAM, expandable to 1024MB
Hard Drive: 40GB
Modem: Integrated V.90/56K
DVD-ROM/CD-RW Drive: Multi-function drive
Display: 15" XGA TFT active matrix display
Graphics: ATI M6-P graphics controller
Video Memory: 16MB
Ethernet: Integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN
USB Ports: 2
Battery Type: 12-cell, rechargeable, removable Lithium-Ion
Pointing Device: Keyboard, Touchpad pointing device, Scroll function
Audio: 16-bit stereo, Windows Sound System v.2.0, built-in stereo speakers
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition


I had them bump up the RAM to 512MB before I brought it home (the extra 256 cost me $99), and I also purchased a full-install copy of Windows 2000 Professional... I won't have that XP shit in my house.  No fucking way.

So as soon as I got it home, I started it up to make sure everything worked, and then I formatted C: and installed Windows 2000 Pro over the top of it.

The only problem with that was DRIVERS, goddammit!   :evil:

The stupid driver CDs that came with the computer were all intended for Windows XP, and wouldn't install on Win2K at ALL!  Man, but that pissed me off!

I finally found most of the drivers I needed after digging around Toshiba's website for a while (the Win2K versions of them), but I still think it's stupid that I had to do that... when it all boils down to it, what works on XP should work on 2K, since they're basically the same kernel, just with the Fisher Price garbage added to dumb down the XP interface, right?

Aside from the anti-user.... Oops, I mean anti-piracy junk programmed in.

Anyway, it's a pretty slick machine.  I also got it for 24 months no interest, and I also have a $300 mail-in rebate coming to me, so it's actually cheaper than the one I linked to.

My wife got a free hand me down from work, I think it's a P2 266MHz or something.  I think we'll instal linux on it so I can learn to geekify myself.

Those boxes are great with linux on them. They make decent game servers.

Actually, Windows XP isn't half as bad as you think it is. The startup interface is crap. Really, it is. But you can take a few minutes to get rid of that stuff and have it look and feel exactly like Windows 2000. It's a rather good operating system once you get past the gay part of installing it.

I have a "copy" of it if you want to try it out. :roll:

When I disable, uninstall, strip away, and de-bloat and de-gayify everything I hate and despise about XP, what I'm left with is basicaly Windows 2000, except for a few things that I can't get rid of, which pisses me off.

So why bother with XP to begin with?  I'll stick with Win2K, thanks.

It was green?  :?

Nah, it was just a regular old stick o' 128 mb SDRAM. Bus speed? Probably about 55 km/h on the way home.  :lol:

How do you like the Yamaha 2200E Pseudo?  I've had one a couple of years and no complaints.  In fact my brother in law and a few of his friends are into Karaoke.  The CD's they can't back up they bring here and swear the yammie is the only reason I can back them up and they can't.  Little do they realize I've also used the memorex DVD burner and the newer Lite-on 52246s.  CloneCD can be your lifelong friend.  :wink:

Allright so I'll post what I got.

AMD Athlon 1.333
960 MB SDRAM
64 MB shared video ram
40 GB Maxtor 7200
80 GB Western Digital 7200
Memorex DVD +R/RW 2.4x8AA
Lite-on 52246s CDRW
SIS Fast ethner net adaptor onboard nic card
D-Link ether net adaptor pci nic card for DSL
19" Mag innovision monitor
HP deskjet printer
HP Photo printer
Windows Me (okay I know this sucks but I'm still considering going to dual boot with Win 2000 Pro)

DC

Oh and the yamaha is back on the old HP 6330 Pavilion 300 MHZ in the other room.

One more thing.

The fan is moving, and was moving during that picture. It only looks like it stopped because when the picture was taken "time was stopped".

Oh, I've put together this page with a few more pictures of crap around my LAN.
