- Geforce 2 64mb Videocard

- 384MB PCI Ram

- 93.5 GB Harddrive

- 40x16x48 CD-RW

- Windows XP Home Edition (upgrade)

- 17' inch Monitor

MY NEW COMPUTER!

So is this a good step in the right direction? What are your thoughts? Also, what are the specs of your computer?

That would be the formated hard drive size, when you format a hard drive you lose some space, that's why when they advertise a 80gb hard drive like mine it becomes a 74.5 gb one. It's kind of misleading by the companies but hey what you gonna do?

Your new computer is similiar to mine...except I have a 3.0 P4 and you have a slightly better videocard. Is it a VAIO?

I figured that. So it would be a 100 GB Unformatted?

I think I haev about the same computer as you.

[Laice07]

That's a sweet new computer, Congrats! I'm still stuck with a Pentium 3 800 Mhz computer with 128 Mb of RAM. That is nothing compared to yours. But my baby is still here, and I still use it, so its all good :smug:

So here I am, now talking to you on my new machine. I've had it for about 30 mins and let me tell you, it's a beast.

To answer one of your earlier questions, the reason my old harddrive was 13.5 was because the original was 13.5. We then purchased an 80 gig drive to act as a slave drive.

To answer another question, the total for the computer was around $1600 canadian.

Thanks for your support for my new computer, I really love it!
