Excellent system BaD_BURN! But the only thing I'd do is get some more RAM. At least another 128Mb's.

Nice job Bad Burn. I think they cancelled who wants to be a millionaire in my country due to lack of popularity.

This damn thread is more than a year old! I didn't even notice! Why was it ressurected?

You know, if the thread is like 50 pages back from the front, that's a sign that it's outdated...

(It certainly looks it)

That's why it usually helps to read before you post.

there is a fact you should know. most people don't check the date of all the thread they post.

after all, whats wrong to revive an old thread?

Well, it's annoying, for one thing. Another is that often the revived threads concern a problem that has already been fixed (or forgotten about) months before. It's not like there's a rule against it, but that doesn't mean you should do it (unless there's good reason to, of course).

Yeah, and the continued discussions are almost always off-topic, since the topic discussion has most likely been resolved. I myself was confused with this thread, I actually thought he got a new system right now (I was wondering why the specs were a bit low for a "brand spankin' new computer").

I got my computer that I have now for $300, and that was a year ago.
