I have a new computer! Bwah ha ha!!!
On Saturday I picked up that the primary drive on the old computer was starting to fail. Currently it still changes it’s mind whether it actually wants to work on any power up. But a new computer was bought…
I nipped into a local city centre parts shop and picked up many, many fine things including 2GB of Ram, a 250GB HDD, a 1GB Graphics Card and an Intel Quad Core Q6600.
And it’s very fine indeed.
The system is currently using a fresh install of Win XP Professional.
And not to fear, the old pc will be the media system on the network running the new version of Ubuntu released in 9 days time.
Of course, the network has been further blessed by the KVM switch provided by Edgy. Thank you very much for that sir…

You got a Q6600 and then put XP Pro on it?
I’ve not even seen a 1Gb graphics card, but then I doubt I could afford one either…
Initially, yeah. Vista is certainly not going on it and some flavour of Linux WILL be going on it eventually…
But until I decide exactly what’s happening with it, Win Xp is there for now.
So…… does that mean you’ve got some parts going spare?
Heh. No. Nice try though…
