Just got the go ahead from the CFO (Wife) to upgrade my computer and give my current Barton rig to my folks as a Christmas gift. I will mandate that they have to fold for me and then I will have 3 rigs folding!! Aaaaahhhhhhhh, hahahaha, I'm going out the rails on the folding train!!

Ciao,

Alf

Fantastic! :beer:

Edit: If you want to get points go Intel so you can fold QMD's.

CFO (wife)

lol.... I like that phrase.....

yes, if you have the $, go for a PentiumD (or better yet, wait for 2 more months for the 9xx series!!), you will never regret that!!

do not go pentium D. The heat on these things is just wrong. Wait for Conroe or Presler/Cedar Mill. But the 707ppd i get of my D is nice

Memory

My initial thought is to take the 512 Mushkin memory and put it into my new system and put lesser memory into this system for my folks. The reason is that they simply don't have a high demand on their system since they only do the basics with their computer. Is there better memory or more relevant memory for my new system? I am looking at the venice 3200 with Epox MB to replace this barton system.

Any thoughts?

Ignore bad behavior, reward good behavior... and mercilessly put down any violent uprisings

I like to be the CSO (Chief Spending Officer) but you know how budget allocations go. If one department spends money then the other gets to spend equally. "Dear, do you need any new sewing or craft gadgets?". Response, "Let me guess, you want another mobo and chip?" :drool:

Oh for the love of God, I didn't realize there was such company for my spending misery!! I would be so happy if I could only find a consistant revenue source for my upgrading habit.......

Massive Delay

When my new Opty 170 got here yesterday, about 20 pins in the middle of the chip were bent down flat. I have requested an RMA, but this is definitely going to slow down the new system getting built since CPU's are sort of important for processing.

Wish me luck.

apenland01 · Dec 19, 2005

Great Service...

There is hope for a merry computer Christmas after all! Page Computers is expediting the RMA process by sending me a new chip and billing me for it. They will then credit my account for the cost of the new chip when they receive the defective one. That is great service and makes me much happier!!

Props to Page Computer and BOO HISS to Fedex for botching the delivery in the first place.

apenland01 · Dec 19, 2005

Oh yeah.....

and then I'm gonna start spankin some serious WU's after Christmas!!!! Watch out, here I come to get ya!!!

apenland01 · Dec 26, 2005
