Going offline - back in a short while (hopefully!)

[Leon Roskilly]

Hi Guys,

 

I've given up struggling at 200mhz with a 33.4K modem and a 4.3gb hardrive, staggering from crash to crash with Windows 95, and bought myself a new system

 

If all goes well, I'll be back shortly...........

Thanks Billy.

 

So far so good

 

I'm currently surrounded by boxes, discs and devices to be loaded, trying to navigate XP and with even more grey hairs than this morning!!!

 

I expect my bank manager will have a few more too, come Monday!

Leon.

I kept up to most folk for nearly 5 yrs, untill I had to change to the new system?

Of course, we all have to upgrade our systems now and again. Such a pity that my old fishing sims take so much work to go get going.

Forget about all the boxes and an over-priced engineer. Most 7yr olds can put them together.

Leon as you are now using XP you may need to download some patches and upgrades to run the scanner and printer and things, so if they don't work as they should look for the upgrades.

[Newt]

Nugg has it. But rather than let Microsoft tell you what you need, give a try at Bigfix which will do the same thing but do it better IMO.

Thats the beauty of building your own pute you can add goodies as you go along. The trouble with off the shelf and shop putes is upgrading also all the stuff that comes with it that doesnt get used.I know price wise its hard to beat a shop built one but do you get the same satisfaction when you get everything running by yourself its just like the first fish of the season. Anyway good luck with your new toy nugg

hi all,

 

jackpike i agree,as i built all the pc's i have had it gives you that buzz when the power boots up and doesnt fizzle in a cloud of smoke

and you get the freedom of putting a nice nvidia graphics card in and unlike the shop bought pc's which tend to be intel 810 chips or something similar(onboard sucks)

but i do tend to like pushing the specs so i get to enjoy the problem solving of fiddling too much

 

hope all is well leon
