286 processor?

Orange:

900 is an awesome price for your machine, but I still feel bad for you.

Not to brag, but my dad knows alot of computer insiders through his business, and so I get all these sweet factory direct deals. Like you, I just got a new computer myself, and its basically very similar to yours, except its a 2.4ghz Pentium4 and its got a bit more ram, though with a bit smaller HDD (80GB). Total price? $125USD. It almost pisses me off to realize just how much profit these computer retailers make. I mean, that same machine would sell for thousands in the store.

No warranty though, but for that price, ****, if any part breaks I'll just buy a whole new computer.

Nice, ver nice.

What OS do you run on this?

[Asher]

Windows XP Professional, of course. Soon to be Windows XP 64-bit Edition.

I'm trying to put Linux for x86-64 on it as a secondary OS, but there are no RAID drivers for my motherboard, nor any sound drivers, nor any video drivers.

I wish I had one of those dishwasher packs. They are so cool.

I'm just heartened to see that practically everyone in this thread has chosen the side of light (Athlon) over the darkness of evil (Intel)...
