Micro > .... I never throw stuff like that away...


Well Boss,
I'm just a little bit past the point where I realize that
if I don't throw some of the crap out . . . I will find
myself buried in it.

The machine I'm currently typing on has a quad-core in it.
And right beside it is a machine with a 'Core i7' in it.
(Meant to replace this one.)

On the other end of the bench there is a pair of HP ProDesks
with Core i5's in them. Linux install in those two.

Then there is my XP machine - I think it has a core duo.

And three laptops - one core duo and two core i5's.
All running Linux.

The XP machine and the quad core I built from kits. The rest
came off my employers 'e-scrap' heap. (Which is where that
Windows 98 machine came from a decade or two ago.)

I have a feeling I really should reduce the size of my collection.

Zim.

All ya needs in a newer motherboard to out in that CASE, likely a new power supply, a little newer CPU like maybe an Intel I-3 with quad core, 8 GB of RAM memory one 500 GB solid state drive for $50.00 and you would be doing really good. I always enjoyed building new computers from scratch with off the shelf parts. There's a certain feeling of accomplishment when you turn it on. Now it could well be the case is way too old to supoprt even LGA 775 but that is exactly what my desktop is running very nicely.
A quad core CPU with 8 GB of Ram. It has a sold state drive I upgraded to and Ghosted the disck drive onto the ew solid state hard drive. Improved boot time and performance a LOT.
I really do not care much for laptops. But that is me...

Cool find. That computer really is very old but I alays like to dissect them and see if I can bring them back to life... I think I have three extra power supplies on hand a large container with everything else imaginable that pertains to computer hardware in it.... I never throw stuff like that away...
