Title: I am getting a new PC!
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on September 08, 2002, 12:18:14 pm
Yes, its true!

As is now well recorded, I had an Athlon800 machine, however, the HD went down and I sent it off for repair (it was still under warranty, you see) Unfortunatley, the company went bakrupt and I have spent the last for months trying to get it back.

That sucks... just like the time that rabid dolphin came into my house and demand I kill myself and submit to eternal damnation for drinking that container of mustard without first sacrificing some wallpaper samples to the great sand-god...

ok so that never happened.

So did you ever get your old computer back?

My computer was also sent off to repair a while ago but it looks like they finally found and repaired the problem, so I should be getting it in a day or two.

It really depends on where you live. They don't sell guns to anyone, except in the USA, I think. :p

I know--except mine was GIVEN to me by the school.

And apparently I'm also going to be given 3DSMax and PaintShop Pro, too. Can't wait to see what other goodies await! ;)

About the same here... except graphics card memory might be 16x larger. And speed probably might be even more...

Your school is very generous. The last thing I got from school ( if I remember it well) was ice-cream on the last schoolday in the previous schoolyear. Bah I hate cheapstakes.

nice one Petrach... :nod::yes:
(I have 768 PC133 nah nah :p)

*ahem* *cough* nevermind

Geforce4 is nice, but of if I only could buy me a Radeon 9700pro :D
Then again, my 64DDR VIVO got broke so I have to get a new one and since the warrant was still on with the 64DDR VIVO I might get a better Radeon quite cheap :)

I feel so inadequate!

BTW, you can now get GForce 2 MX400 64meg for £32!

hehe

I wouldn't buy a Geforce if I didn't have to. It's not a bad card, it's just that Radeon is so much better with DVD (at least what I've heard... and seen)... ... and so on

But I must say that £32 is not a bad prize for GF2 MX400 :nod:
