okokok well lets talk ram.

I paid $300 to put 2 more GB's of ram in my server comp. putting it to 3GB

no definitly not cheap. But we're overlooking something. if you want to speed up vista, and you have a 2gb memory stick (usb drive/key) you can use it as ram its called ready boost, and it is in fact my favourite part of vista. we took a 2 gig stick and used ready boost.... all i can say is WOW. (memory sticks are a lot cheaper than ram.

using a computer for anymore than five years, will most probably make it out of date, but i`ve got my own solution. If i buy a comp for $800 and use it for 1.5-2years i sell it for 500 -600 and put that towards a new machine. mind you with my job, i need to keep up on these things.

Do computers change too much?
Yes they sure do. Every three months, but now manufactures are at a poin, where the prices are always the same ($800 machine starts with 1gb then 2gb, then next year 3gb)

That's the spirit! I just upgraded all my parts and am still using a Pentium 4 with a 533MHz bus (overclocked to 600 something) and it runs all the new stuff just fine! Not only that I saved loads of money by not switching to PCI-E. Eventually I will, but like you said, live in the past and save a lot. Razz

Article on power efficiency:

Also, my rig doesn't have any of the new top-of-the-line garbage everyone expects you to have. Here's what I'm at:

Athlon XP 2600+
1GB DDR PC2700
Leadtek Geforce 6800
200GB Maxtor ATA133

I can run all new games fine, and most of them on high. Whenever I buy a new computer, I like to stay with it for at least three years with small upgrades here and there. Saves you a tremendous amount of money. I have only built two computers in my lifetime so far.

I've only built one (fu*king weather)
Hmm, I have a couple of old spare USB memory sticks, that's an interesting feature of Vista...

Here's my rig:

ASUS P5LD2 (Socket 775) Mobo.
PCI-E X 16 based ATI X1650 Pro 512 MB (<3)
Intel P4D at 2.66 Ghz
1 GB RAM (cheap) @ 557 (I think....) Mhz
Four £24 Maxtor SATA II HDDs in a RAID 0+1

Posh, but still slow sometimes, didn't cost too much actually, because my case was only £45 and I already had a monitor Smile

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

I had 40 Reg Key entries, 200 cookies, and a few trojans with a backdoor, but that was back when I was allowing sis to play neopets on my computer. Confused
