The Joy of Upgrading

[farplaner]

My online order has just been processed, and my new computer set-up should arrive in a week or two.

Here are some comparisons to illustrate how happy I am about this:

old computer: 633 MHz processor; 64 MB RAM (upgraded to 192 MB); 15 GB hard drive; 14 in. monitor. Upgraded to Windows XP.

new computer: 2.2 GHz pr. 2,000MHz bus speed; 1GB RAM (upgradable to 4GB); 320 GB hd; 17 LCD flat screen monitor. Running Vista.

It's not exactly the top of the line, but in my case it's the difference between the vacuum tube and the microchip!

Oh right! a topic.....Share your "Joys of Upgrading!"

From riding a bicycle to driving a car. That's the biggest upgrade for me. xD

I got glasses a week ago. It was like upgrading my graphics card: everything was sharper and more detailed.

Good luck with the new rig.

Recently trying to upgrade tiscali to faster speed has been a pain in the arse, so I wont say that. Upgrading a computer's hardware in any way is always a big happy feeling, like a new hard drive I got recently, space is like BLISS.

Wow, my dad would love you. He's one of the leading advocates of the "Bill Gates is Evil Foundation."

Actually, I'm just starting to look at upgrading to a new computer. This one's still very nice, but it's getting a bit old, and new games just can't be handled anymore.

I just upgraded some of my computer's programs, it feels like I got whole new computer.
