I do a website for a friend of mine and we’d been talking the other day about how frustrated I am with my “hybrid heap” or “hybrid dinosaur” of a computer. It doesn’t let me do anything I want to do. I can’t play certain games or load certain software because I don’t have enough memory. I can’t do this or that because this or that isn’t good enough on my computer.

Well, my friend’s husband decided that for a Birthday/Christmas/Thanks for running my wife’s websites gift, he was going to build me a computer. Now I realize that these aren’t the greatest specs in the world, but when you think about the heap’s specs you’ll see it’s a definite step up.

New computer specs:
3.0 Duel Processor, 533MB RAM, 100GB hard drive, front USB ports, 20X CD/DVD Rewrite

Now the specs on the heap:
850 mHz Intel Celeron, 256MB RAM, 80GB hard drive, no front USB ports, CD Rewrite/DVD drive but can’t remember the speed on it.

So yes, I believe this is actually a step up from my current system. I’m still planning to get a laptop so I can wander my apartment with it, but all in all, I think this new tower will suit me just fine. I want to give a big thanks to Annie and her hubby for this great gift!
