Re: OT: computers
All of the advice here is good, but let me give you a little word to the wise. Do not try your first major upgrade on your only computer. And be careful of upgrading name brand computers, some of them use proprietary designs on the motherboard, power supplies, and cases. These
can make upgrading very difficult. Also, be sure that you have access to someone who is
experienced and willing to help you if things don’t work out. My first home built started with the motherboard DOA. I was instantly in over my head.
Look at Dells site, they have a 2GHz P4 w/17”moniter for 599 right now. Add a $45 dollar
CD reader and some memory to that and it will be just what you need. Then if you want to try
home building, buy a book on A+, read it and practice on the Compaq.
