Re: Well Its Official

At the risk of bringing down the vengance of the computer gods, I've been pretty happy with my home PC... I bought it in June 1999 and it has been my little workhorse since. I bought a top-end for that time device with the hope it will serve me for a while, and it has done that job proudly. The only thing I've had to replace is a modem that got fried by a power surge on the telephone lines. I'm now holding on while the new 64-bit chips get sorted out, and when the market begins to mature in that area I'll upgrade.

Good luck!

AT, what the hell do you do to your PCs to have them break down so often? Do you live near some kind of techno-hellmouth, or keep your computers buried in the back garden when not in use, or what?

I would disagree with that statement. Bleeding edge is never enough. Engineering samples kick butt http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Let's rephrase: For those that are not obsessed with pointless benchmarks, bleeding edge is never really worth it for a home user.

Nice to have but given a choice between a bleeding edge graphics card OR a complete new 2 month old machine for the same money... I know what I'd choose. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
