Just ordered an upgrade for my work PC, it's going from a very battered Duron 1300 with 1Gb RAM (started off as 256Mb running Windows ME when I started a year and a half ago), to a Dual Core set up with 2Gb RAM and a Gigabyte Nforce motherboard (love clearance offers).
The cost - £148.15, with 2 new Logitech mice, should get it tomorrow.

Lol Milli, do you work in a museum or something My bosses have a great lack of knowledge of all things to do with computers. They bought 3 computers 8 years ago and assumed that was it for technology purchasing.... ever. I only got Windows XP installed when the hard drive umm... broke. Why two mice?
To increase productivity actually one of the other PCs still has a ball mouse and is probably one of the orginals. |

Nice upgrade fella. If your emplyer is interested in any more antque PC gear, I've got an old tower with an AT keyboard connection and an AMD K62 300mhz chip, I think it's a whopping great big 64MB of SD ram 133mhz goodness. I think the other tower is just a bold in it's hardware. The third one is showing off in that it does DDR and has a duron chip. (I really must get around to scrapping them  ) |
