It's taken me awhile to start this thread, sorry. I know this may end up in flame wars. Again I am sorry.
So everyone knows my situation. Well those close to me on this site do. My computer is finally showing signs of how old it truly is. Keep in mind my computer has a Pentium 4 processor so I am guessing this setup to be almost ten years old. The problem, even after a few friends helped me here with a new hard drive and more memory, is the rest of the system. The processor can't keep up with the newer operating systems. I'm having a hard time just running XP. Found out the other day my DVD Burner drive is almost dead as it will read disc sometimes and other times it will not. Monitor is on it's last legs as well. Hard to read anything and the brightness is going out. It's an old CRT Dell monitor that is almost as old as the tower.
As Starkers had told you this computer is my main way to communicate with the things that are important in my life. So I was hoping someone out there had a few newer parts I could install to extend the life of the machine a bit. Nothing special. I already have DDR2 memory and a newer hard drive. Just need a few other things.
So carry on. Discuss I guess.
Ace, I believe because I did not send from a pay pal to a pay pal account, but rather a credit card{prepaid} to pay pal. I checked and we just have to wait for pay pal to bypass my bank and use the card. Said 3-5 days, lets hope sooner, but I will make sure you get it.
Wow, page 16, becoming a short story!
o.k....good deal doortech....My son-in-law said he would front the money down where he works, and I can just pay it back to him when we have all the money collected because I have to transfer it out of my paypal account to my bank so I can write him a check or withdraw it on my bank card to repay him. Transfering money always takes a few days, but at least the box will be on it's way tommorrow.
... to top it off!!
Poor Kona, were trying! Hang in there with that dinomachine.
Hey DT have I got a surprise for you. Haaa ha ha ha ha.
O.K !!!! it's a done deal !! My son-in-law just called and said it's on the truck and should be delivered on Monday by Fedex. I'll send you a P.M. Kona with the tracking number. YIPEEEEE !!! -- Ace --
Sweet! stars for Ace's son in law!!
You peaked my curiosity,where do I look?
What are you laughing at DP?
Thanks so much for the efforts you have made. I am so thankful. My only fear is that the case gets here, I plug in the CPU, and nothing happens. I'm afraid that other board may have damaged the CPU. I'm hopeful that board didn't have enough power to run the CPU or that the CPU was not compatible and the CPU was not hurt.
You crack me up!
Ah, poor kona
I don't understand that comment WOM. Are you making fun of the situation? Why?
I'm not sure either, unless it's this:
It is tempting to think that your attention might be aroused to a high point by “peaking” your curiosity; but in fact, “pique” is a French word meaning “prick,” in the sense of “stimulate.” The expression has nothing to do with “peek,” either. Therefore the expression is “my curiosity was piqued.”
Yes, it's 'pique' .... ...
Anybody have any luck connecting an external eSATA drive up? The drive is recognized fine as a USB but....I want the thing to be seen and used as eSATA.
Now I know what that Frenchman was calling me after he caught me showing his daughter an old English favourite dish, toad in the hole.
I had a feeling that's what it was... now I'm certain.
WOM has a unique ability to always pick on me. It has happened before. No big deal I guess. Thanks!
Just be happy it ain't Yrag...lol..he loves to give me shit.
Spell chck and grammar check this. I meant what I said the way I said it, damn english teachers!
Notice the Karma , Kona, might be why.
