Putting together another computer
I am putting together another computer last night hopefully to run windows 7 on it. It is a 1.8 GHZ dual core with 3 GB of memory in it. It has 1 TB Sata Drive. I hope my dual video card works or I will have to get another one at the end of the month. It wouldn’t read any DVD cd’s but if you take the cdrom and put it on another computer it will read and auto boot fine. I got the 2 GB memory kit, the 1 TB drive and a new power supply for $166.00 at newegg.com. I think that was very good price.
MY current computer needs to be reprepped because I am loosing sound every so often and I have to reboot. I rather learn something new then stick with windows XP. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the sound to no luck. I just think it is time for a new computer. My current computer I got in 06 so I think it is time for an upgrade to something better.
Here are is a picture from last night of the new computer. The cdrom is my dads that he got, and the IDE drive was his also. I ended up taking out the ide hard drive and the Sata USB Adaptor. I also ended up making the Sata drive in the IDE Mode.
It was a long night and nothing was working but it finally worked in the end. I have a operating system on and it is faster then my current setup. Is anyone going to try Windows 7 or Are you going to stick with your current system?

You should get a new case. They are quite cheap these days.

I had the case down stairs in my parents basement so I used. I do need to get a dual video card because the new mother board doesn’t have agp slot just an pci express and pci slots. Greg Ellison
I had also bought a new Lap Top last month. I had gone for DEll inspiron 15, with 3 GB RAm, and 320 GB hard disk, with Dual core processor.I am not in favor of going for a Desktop machine these days.
