Biggrin Just Got A New Computer

Although it may not be top of the line, I'm excited! It's a massive upgrade from my Pentium 4 1.6 ghz ATI Radeon 128mb, 1gRam computer.

I now have:
320gigs of space
2g of Ram (with 2 more on the way)
Intel Duo Viv thingy haha. (the guy said it was 2 processors)
Vista Home Premium
256mb Video Card

I'm excited. Vista is bad ass. Haha i'm just excited so i thought i'd share it here.

Cool! Hope it works for what you're trying to do.

Yeah, other day I had a work related meeting with MS people, who were showing off their slick Vista interface until I took out my Mac PowerBook Pro and then rest you can image happened.

I did see the nice Macs, and I think Mac's are great. But...I don't know, more things for Vista. The game section at the computer store was a whole wall for PC games. The game section for Apple was a couple of beaten up old racks haha. The software section was filled with stuff for PC.

However, Macs are great, and especially excel at graphics type stuff. Personal taste I suppose.

Anyways so far it's working out, and I'm loving it mixed with Office 2008.

I'm loving the speed of my new computer, Office 2007, and all the nifty features Vista is bringing me. Headlines straight to my desktop is actually extremely nice. I'm disliking the fact that BHD/BHD:TS don't seem to work to well with Vista, and that I lost my BF:2 CD key. Can't wait to get my steam up and going heh--hopefully that won't be buggy.
