Well I guess I am like some of the other guys on here. We have 7 PC's in our household right now. 4 of them are laptops (2=Dells, 1=HP dv1000, & a Dell mini laptop, two of the desktops are Dell, and Compaq, but the main PC is one that I built from scratch three years ago. At this point none of them are all that special considering how technology keeps moving forward, and in fact we are thinking about purchasing one of the new Mac computers with the PC built right into the huge 30" screen. We can get them tax free at the PX at relatively good market prices loaded up with software. It seems that no matter what you buy today it will be outdated in less than 6 months, and resale values are never worth the trouble of selling them. We have donated like 5 PC's in the last 4 years to charitable organizations. I can do all of the A+ stuff just fine, but the programming gets a little complicated and tetious for me. I am getting to the point now, that I just want to purchase the newest top of the line PC ready to play with.

When I was 18, I assembled computers for Apple. The running joke was that the brand new computers we were assembling were already outdated.

That is exactly my point. All though it kind of pisses us off as things advance past what we have just purchased for top dollar it is nice to see just how far we have come in the last 10 to 20 years. Remember the original car phones? That was the coolest thing that we had ever seen at that time, and now that is such a joke. My kids were asking me about televisions when we were kids in the 60's and they flipped when I told them that there were no remotes yet. My 12 yr old asked how in the world did we change the chanel then. They are so happy to be kids in this day in age and not back then. One of my sadest fears is not getting to see some of the truly ingenious inventions coming in the next 50 to 100 years down the line. It is kind of funny when you compare the predictions of people back 50 years ago or more, and a lot of the stuff that they could imagine is now part of our every day lives.

I just assumed it was 240 pin

I just bought 2x2GB of DDR2 1066 for 104. Pretty good deal I thought.
