orange_6's Journal: new toys a-comin!

My checkbook is finally in the black, what better time to order a new brain for my computer than now! NONE!

ASUS A7V880 - I love Asus boards, I love VIA chipsets, can't go wrong (unless it totally sucks). Everyone was trying to talk me into geting a 64-bit CPU, but fuck that, I just want to play NWN and burn DVDs with no buffer underruns (like my current POS system does)...besides, I am on a budget.
AMD Athlon XP 3200 CPU - I despise Intel since my second computer (back in the day) had major issues with overheating and ultimately a-sploding. AMD ever since!
Gotta have the RAM, it's a step down in size but a major boost in speed...all of my systems now have at least 1 gig of ram, but this one will only have 512...again, on a budget.

All of this should prove to make one heck of a system when I add my Audigy, GeForce FX 5200, 300 gigs worth of HDDs and the DVD burner...not to mention all the USB shite and wirless crap.

WOOO....I's special now! Moooovin on up! Take that space coyote!
