May 05 I bought a new Motherboard Asus A8n-e, AMD 64 3200 CPU, IGB Mem, 160 GB Sata drive. I had a 17" Hitachi LCD, DVDRW, decent case, etc. Aug 06 I bought a AMD X2 4400 and I practically doubled the speed and will run this as my primary for another year.
My backup is a XP2500, who's backup is a P4 2.8, who's backup is a XP1800, who's backup is a Althlon 1200, who's backup is a P4 2.4 (boat computer  ) - Hmmmm - and I still have that XP3200 Chip  |
 How about a used or refurbished laptop.? Anything you want to part with? |
