A couple of my computers are driving me nuts — mostly memory problems. I broke down and bought a new one at Fry’s yesterday and I really like it. It’s a HP Compaq, 4 gig of memory, 500 hard drive and 64-bit operating system. It’s NICE! <\/p>\n
That’s the problem with the old computers. Memory.<\/p>\n
So I have ordered a set of 4 gig of memory (two 2-gig sets), which should fit in either of the two old HP Compaqs, I’m definately keeping. I’m going to try the downstairs computer first — it’s supposed to only take 2 DDR2 sticks, so the memory I ordered should take it from 1 gig to 4 gig. Then I’ll installed a 64-bit version of Vista, and see if I like it. It works well until you starting doing multiple things.<\/p>\n
My plan is to replace the e-machines I have upstairs here in my office — I hate e-machines\/Gateway since they sold my support contract to a company that went out of business. Plus it’s is maxed out, I’m pretty sure. It actually works pretty well, so if I am stick with it for a while, that’s okay. I mostly do onlne banking on it.<\/p>\n
Of course, it would be nice to have a machine powerful enough to only have one machine upstairs but one of my purposes for the dual machines is to burn CDs\/DVDs and render movies. I can’t stand waiting around for stuff like that, and having two machines solves that problem. Grading is easier too, but I can always use dual monitors for that. I do that at school. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
