:) why this smile...welll this is my first post from my home machine.. yippieeeeeeeeeeeeeee
i bought a new computer... something that i have been thinking of for over an year now... and my favorite brand (don't ask me why) AMD is in my house...
i have a AMD 2400 XP machine with a 80 GB HDD and 512 MB of ram with a 333 mhz FSB... this babe is working like a rocket right now... compare it to the last one that i had... hehehe... 530 mhz celeron processor with a 64mb ram chip... now thats what you call a jump... world record of sorts... is it?
I am happy :)
Badhai ho...badhai ho

ReplyDeletecongrats bro......this comp will help a lot in photo processing also.....how much it cost u ? i hope u got a good graphics card tooo
ReplyDelete@ Deeps : Entire deal for a close above 10K.
ReplyDeleteNope no extra graphics or sound cards... dheere dheere will get things... photo processsing.. yes.. that was i am looking for... just waiting to get the copy of Photoshop CS to start working...
I'm sure u are going to use windows now on that. Thats a shame, be part of open community and use Linux.
ReplyDeleteAnd use GIMP - inseted of Photoshop, no licencing issues , no piracy :)
Vishal
@ Vishal : Hi vishal... this machine would primarily be used by my parents... and they would be more comfy on windows... can't help it but that is a fact... about linux... i have plans for having my old hdd loaded with linux... but i need help.. i have no clue on how to go about it...
ReplyDeleteabout Gimp.. i might try to use it.. though i have worked on photoshop before and i really like that software for what it can do to an image...
@ Aqui : My obsession for the opposite sex causes this to happen...hehehe.. just kiddin... i dunno... waise i think cars are usually females.. like buses and trains are... ( and i am refering to the way our mother language HINDI refers to them) after your post.. i think i should have refered to the comp as a male... lemme recall some of the reasons why it can be a female though...
1) it can crash ( read get upset) without a reason anytime :)
2) u cannot do anything about it unless you have a prior exp of handling it...
i cannot think of anything else now... hehehe
and please.. do not pull me into a males vs females discussion now :) i am in no mood for that :)
hmmmm new machine et al huh ! cool . waise the way u are passionate abt ur machines.. be them ur car , computer makes me sometime wonder if u are as passionate for human beings too ..
ReplyDeleteand then i get a resoundin yes as an answer {:)}

@ tigeross : Yes... i do feel very deeply about a few human beings too... and when i say few.. i mean few :)
ReplyDeletei hope i make it into the elite list.
ReplyDeletewaise sometimez i feel i m right there at the top.. sometimes i feel naah ..pawan, u dont even make the cut ! [:(]
@ Paws : :)
ReplyDeletehardware never crashes without a reason, softwares, hmmm...Windows does not Linux :D
ReplyDeleteand Fedora is as comfortable as Windows if not more to work on, so i dont guess your parents should have an issue if they are the first-timers.
installation is as breezy as in case of Windows, sometimes it just need open eyes and head :D
some good resource for your reading:-
