I tend to be slightly conservative. Conservative != republican.

I would not put NT on it. NT isn't too useful unless you are on a network in the mid to late 90s. Windows 2000 is similar to XP but not so resource intensive (from what I've heard). I would put NT on it. There are a lot of tweaks you can do to make XP run faster, but some of them can go bad. I once serviced a Gateway PC at school running at much the same speed - add it with a virus, and it was practically useless unless I reformat it or if I add more memory... The minimum system requirements for XP tells the user what it needs just to run it, but it obviously needs more if you want it to run it as smoothly as possible... A downgrade to 98 or ME might be necessary... Again - depends on how much you tweak it. I had the Dell tweaked pretty well so that it could run decent. The only thing it had a problem with was videos - those would be choppy. But on a macine like that gateway or my dell, something older would be recommended.

I can't wait for the game. I know I'll have money set aside for it. And offtopic, but I want that f150 in the first picture.

Wednesday I placed an order for a referb Dell Inspiron laptop. C2D 1.5GHz (will be getting upgraded eventually), 1gb memory and 120gb HDD.

What does it have for CPU, memory? I had a PII 233 running XP on 64mb of memory. It was quite slow. I put 192mb in it and it was loads quicker.

I went to a gay club Thursday night - it was pretty cool. I shoulda done more though, instead of stand on the side.

Oh my god. A WoW family?

Looks like my plans and needs have changed. The desktop will be put out to pasture and I'll be buying a referb dell laptop.

I looked into Gigabyte motherboards, but I can't afford one. Buying a reputable motherboard is more than I can afford right now I'll have more money around chirstmas time, but I need a working desktop/server before then. And there don't seem to be any decent computers up on Ebay at the moment

The motherboard on my computer went bad - having problems booting from IDE hard drive and when it will boot from IDE hard drive it refuses to see SATA hard drive ... My criteria is PCIE, 184Pin memory and onboard SATA ... are any of these any good? Once I get the money, I do plan on getting a nice PCIE card so I can do some decent gaming.

Wow how unusual. Tell me more. /notI've joined our Uni's LGBT society, so we'll be going clubbing every now and then which will be awesome. Oh and btw... Plans to outlaw inciting gay hate I joined one too. We got 7 members!

No 3.0 meh. Rangers are nice trucks. I wouldn't mind one for fun. I just found gas in the oil on my 3.0 so ... yeah.

w00t you got the 3.0!

That be me. To add to the irony, we'll also put in that I'm high tech.

An expensive 500w power supply is going to be better than a cheap 600w power supply ... even though the 600 is obviously rated better.

He had a video prime booty ... I remember him from that.

Actually, the only one that said Hitler was a bad choice was Churchill, I believe. Not sure who thought it when he first came into power, but no one believed him when he said Hitler was bad. I will add that Hitler's plans were to make Germany a great place. Everyone wanted that, but they didn't know what he was going to try. At the time, Germany was going through a bad patch (being blamed for WWI) and Hitler promised to bring them out of their depression.

I was not affected by it. Therefore I am over it. Now the weird thing was like a week after it happened, the science teacher showed the day after.

I thought I was older.

German IBM Model M keyboard off of Ebay. My next purchase (other than necessities from WalMart) will hopefully be another Model M keyboard.

What engine does that have?

What game? Then I'll move it.

I'm going to grab my VIN next time I head out to the car. Even though we've had the car since it was new.

That's cool. I wouldn't be able to do any of it without breaking something.
