oh the pain ...

have bitten the bullet and got a new machine. Is a really fast thing, with 2.2Gz and 1Gb RAM and some brand new Asus mobo and stuff ... I'm just a gurlie, and so I don't understand these things, really. But it seems a FUCK of a sight faster than my previously best beloved twin 866 box.

and it's got this real clever bits in - DVD rewriter, Yamaha F1 CD burner. So have moved my Matrox Dualhead (so as to drive my 2 NEC 18" TFTs), and my Creative Platinum. And have got working, so far, the house jukebox via Netjuke and MusicMatch, mIRC, Ameol (for CIX), Mozilla, LJ (obviously), and am now looking at seems like fscking thousands of bits of software ...

anyway, all credit to the box builders, Computer Connection, who have, yet again, managed to relieve me of huge sums of money while I hardly felt a thing ... I have to say that it gives me a small glow when the supplier says to me that the mobo makes him go .

of course, the damn thing will be obsolescent by Monday, but I'll enjoy it while I can.

my P3 1000 I built last summer falls off the desk in shame. Sounds like you have a killer pc. Is it that the matrox 550g video card?

no, 'tis the 450, which I got last year sometime (I think). Drives a pair of NEC 1850e LCDs.
