Decided To Bite The Bullet....

Well, as some of you may know, I've been debating on whether to get a new computer or not. Anyways, tonight I ordered a new computer. Since I didn't feel comfortable building one by myself, I had just decided to order one from a company. So, after months of looking for the right computer, I had found one that seemed to be perfect for me. I bought a Compaq Presario, and here are the stats, with a side by side comparison to my current one. Lol, it should be amusing.

New Computer:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (2.4ghz)
Memory: 512MB DDR
Hard Drive: 160 GB 7200 SATA
Speakers: Altec-Lansing 5:1
Monitor: (Buying from OfficeMax) Starlogic 19" CRT

Old Computer
Processor: Intel Celeron 633mhz
Memory: 64MB
Hard Drive: 15 GB
Spakers: Polk Audio 2:0
Monitor: HP 15" CRT

Wow, quite an improvement. Including monitor, it is about 800 Dollars, and I plan on replacing the PSU and adding a 6600 GT on the AGP slot on the mobo, but there it is. I know that building one might have been a better choice, but I didn't feel up to it, so don't give me crap :P .

Very nice. I would have put more memory in it though. I built my own and it went over fine, i was real nervous too.

Well, I'm adding another stick, along with a 6600GT and a new PSU shortly, probably in a few months. Also, forgot to mention that mine has a primary CD Burner and a secondary CD drive.

Adding other stuff will void ur warranty, you do know that right?

OEM manufacturers also MAKE you buy their upgrade parts, at almost 100% markup to normal retail parts of better quality.

Yeah, that's why I didn't put an extra warranty on it.
