New MAIN puter bits

October 31st, 2005

So I’ve just bought a new inside for my computer. AMD64, aBit Fatality nForce4 Mobo with non-fan cooling, 2×250GB Maxtor SATA drives and a Nvidia 6600 GT Graphics card. I love it. Have to mention though that Windows XP 64-bit Edition is useless. Driver issues, application slow-down - the whole thing seemed to crawl and the kit is reasonably good.

Now I have my old machine spare (2×80GIG Seagate SATA, AMD Athlon 2800 and MSI ILSR-Delta with 5700 Nvidia) and I’m pretty sure Im going to make this my work machine. Im fed up of using an old Fujitsu pile which runs like a mum on sports day. Luckily I am able to do this without issue and I think I will be a lot happier being able to work within an enivornment which is responsive - hey I’m a programmer.
