1. What's that old saying? |
|
"You could probably launch the space shuttle with that computer."
I wonder how long my old computer is going to be around? It's 5 years old. I've got a 2.0 gig processor, 512 MB of ram, 128 MB video card, 40 gig hard drive. I don't use it for much more than the internet. I built it myself and it was a pretty nice computer at the time.

5. I was planning on building one until I came across this deal. |
|
I couldn't build one this nice for the price. I actually paid less than $600 for it!

3. Vista Home Premium, unfortunately. |
|
But at least I know that Vista isn't going to slow this bad boy down much! :)

With that setup you can double your speed with an XP Pro install. Vista is as slow as a dog even with good specs.
