ToddRe:New Parts
If you like to go 100 MPH, why would you need a car that goes 200?		2008-06-2612:38 PM
BrandonRe:New Parts
Bragging rights? To race with the police? Theres many reasons.		2008-06-262:34 PM
ToddRe:New Parts
But what if you just don't care?		2008-06-264:29 PM
BrandonRe:New Parts
Then use the shitty 50HP lawnmower (a classic beatle goes over 100!!).		2008-06-266:16 PM
ToddRe:New Parts
Again, I don't care.		2008-06-266:48 PM
BrandonRe:New Parts
Calm down man, just jokin.		2008-06-267:37 PM
ToddRe:New Parts
Wow, I didn't want to sound like I was upset. I just said, "I don't care." Sorry if it gave negative feedback.		2008-06-268:46 PM
BrandonRe:New Parts
Well I hear that from my siblings a lot and its not usually a positive.		2008-06-268:59 PM
ToddRe:New Parts
I didn't know that. Sorry for the misconception. ;)		2008-06-269:19 PM
BrandonRe:New Parts
I remember the old days when I used the 1Ghz P3 and everyone had their super fast P4s, I guess I've never understood how you could want an old system when you could have more.		2008-06-2610:39 PM
ToddRe:New Parts
Up until 2003, I used my Celeron (333 MHz) for everything. The only reason I got a new computer was because I had software problems that I couldn't solve at the time (i.e. GoBack flipping out and erasing my files when I opened them). My motto is: If it works, use it. I just live frugally. Spend only when I need to. Yeah I know. I'm old-school.		2008-06-2610:50 PM
BrandonRe:New Parts
lol, I wish I could be that way, but how I look at it is I have $350, what could I buy that would be the most use. And having this tiny EEE a nice desktop would be nice.		2008-06-278:57 AM
BrandonRe:New Parts
The new parts came, once I get windows on this machine I'll compare AMD to Intel for you (Currently I'm in Linux Mint 5). A few things so far, 1.The CPU is COOL, It runs about 10 degrees cooler than my Core 2, 2. 250GB is a lot of space, who needs 500GB, 3.Linux isn't good for making GUIs, 4. M$ Sucks!		2008-06-305:03 PM
ToddRe:New Parts
Yeah if you're making a GUI for Linux, you should learn C++. ;)		2008-06-308:29 PM
BrandonRe:New Parts
LOL BASIC!! BASIC!! BASIC!! The idea is to make something that anyone over 12 with a little effort can make their own!! Todd, If you ever get tired of your P4, Get a Sempron, and load it with RAM. After doing some banchmarks, My grandmas Sempron 3000+ 2Ghz single core (Barton) , KMart special, is Faster or equal to a Pentium 4 3Ghz!!		2008-06-309:43 PM
ToddRe:New Parts
I know AMDs are faster than Intels. I think I tried an AMD at a Staples and it was almost as fast as the Core 2 Duo. And it was only 2.2 GHz.		2008-07-028:41 PM

Brandon, you know my PC specs, what would I need as an update?		2008-07-029:18 PM
jasonwoodlandRe:New Parts
OI! I'm 11! :-(		2008-07-029:19 PM
BrandonRe:New Parts
Jason, do you know what the edit button is for?? Anyways your system is pretty good but I'd say RAM would be a cheap, easy upgrade that would make a difference.		2008-07-029:39 PM
