Haven't upgraded in a while but I'm thinking of getting more RAM because it is ridiculously cheap. $56 Canadian for 256mb. I already have 512...but another 256 can't hurt eh?

I actually upgraded my mobo/cpu over the weekend. Went to a DDR board/Socket A setup. I was a bit conservative on the cpu. I'll wait a few months until the prices go down on a 1.2ghz or 1.4ghz t-bird. Right now I'm running a Duron 600@950 on a FIC AD11.

i had a dream where i was putting in an Asus nforce with Palmino 1.4 and a few sticks of CAS2 crucial ram. Does that count? (Pathetic, I know...)

I was going to, damn Fedex package is still in Texas. It shipped on Wednesday, but they held it up in Ft. Worth. 3 business days for express saver shipping. They?re pushing it. Oh well, I have the 4th off and will take Thursday and Friday off so I'll have plenty of time then.

New Iwill KK266 and 1G Tbird to replace C366 @ 550 on a BH-6.

I just looked at the above sentence and realized that we computer geeks speak a foreign language. How many people on the street would have a clue to what that means?

To answer your question, YES!! they can get the Internet.

To correct your misguided intelligence, MAC's can do the same things on the Internet that PC's can do, infact they can do just about everything a PC's can do. You just need to know how to do every thing the &quot;MAC&quot; way.

Just replaced my Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. I loved my old one and after about 2 years of good work, it crapped out me. If I lifted it in just the right way, it lost power. I don't know why, but I have a new one and it seems like they've improved the workmanship of it. I guess this isn't really an upgrade, but oh well, you're not getting your 15 seconds back. :)
