| My PC's Name: | Paul's Computer |
| Date Built/Last Mod: | Original build 2004, overhauled April 08 when HDD failed. Last mod Feb 2010, new CPU and Motherboard |
| Building PCs for: | 2 to 3 years |
| Future Plans: | I have just replaced a failed ASRock motherboard and Xp2600 CPU with an ECS A32G motherboard with an AMD64 CPU. I also added an NVidia GeForce 8400GS, as the new motherboard is PCI-E I can no longer use my old GeForce FX5900 AGP card. The 2 planned upgrades are 2 SATA hdd's in RAID0, and a more powerful Graphics Card now that I have a PCI-E slot. The 8400GS is a reasonable card for now, certainly better than using the onboard SiS Mirage graphics.
I was also able to reactivate and reinstall Windows XP despite it being the OEM version as I have an original OEM system builder CD. |
