Going from a Pentium 75 that I had to keep using until way past its prime to a 550MHz Athlon was a pretty  experienceThen there was the time I built a PC with an SSD in it but I mean my current  rig is from 2011 and uh it still works just fine. I've never even had to reinstall Windows 7 ever. heh remember the days when you had to constantly reinstall windows? good times  poo poo my c2d thinkpad is from 2009 and the built-in mic and speakers are kinda starting to go but other than a battery replacement and some new ram it worksforme just fine. I wonder how long I can keep that thing before it falls apart.

You Am I posted:Then that would be 384MB RAM, not 512 HAHA No RDram had to be run in pairs hence the word SET of 128 128X2=256 basically it was 4 sticks of 128.

so glad I'm at a point in my life where if I need a computer I just go get an iMac/mba/rmbp instead of wasting my time researching each component and putting that together myself.
