I can’t handle my old computer anymore. It’s slow, it locks up for no reason, blah blah blah. So, i’m getting a new one.

Here are the specs:  
Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 3.00GHz with hyper-threading  
800MHz FSB  
DVD±RW/±R/CD-RW Recorder and 16x DVD-ROM with  
1024MB 400MHz DDR SDRAM (2-512MB modules)  
160GB serial ATA hard drive w/ 8MB performance enhancing cache  
128MB ATI Radeon 9600G with TV out and DVI  
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Audio w/ IEEE 1394 (FireWire)

I’m pretty pumped. It should be here in a couple weeks.

It better be, it wasn’t cheap.

I am hoping I won’t need another computer for a long, long time.

What are the spec of the old computer? Are you interested in selling it? I might be interested in buying it…

i’m going to hang on to it and use it as a media server. I’m going to keep it around and put linux on it. I have always wanted to use linux.

Linux rocks! 🙂

if you want to learn the most, use Linux from Scratch ([www.linuxfromscratch.org](http://www.linuxfromscratch.org))

It walks you thru setting everything up, it’s cool 🙂
