Computer Upgrade

137 words.

Oh, here’s some more technical news. I’ve ordered an upgrade for my computer for the first time since September 2003. It’s just in the nick of time, too, since my current computer has taken to dying with a Blue Screen of Death each time I try to reboot.

The new computer will feature a 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 with 2MB cache and 800MHz FSB, 1GB of DDR2-4300 memory, a 100GB 7200rpm SATA hard drive, and a GeForce 7800 GT PCI Express x16 video card. Hopefully this configuration will last me another two years.

I am also hopeful that I’ll be able to actually play Quake4 on this new configuration. (Currently I can only run it in 640×480 resolution with all graphics options turned off.. as you might guess, this has limited my playing time to about zero.)

There may be formatting problems that I haven't addressed yet. There may be problems with missing or mangled images that I haven't fixed yet. There may have been comments on the original post, which I have archived, but I haven't quite worked out how to show them on the new site.
