wat r u packin? [Computer Thread]

[Lilly]

Haha, compared to what you guys are packing, my desktop rig's specs would make you laugh! Not that I need it to do much more than what it does. It's not like I want to play Halo 2 Vista on it or run thirty instances of GIMP, so there's still no reason to upgrade it. =P Might add more RAM one of these days, though, it could use it!

CPU : Intel Celeron (D) 3.14GHZ (That's right, one core!)
GPU : Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4 (128MBs of VM on XP, 64MBs on Vista, WTF?)
RAM : DDR 512MBs (Windows can only detect 500 of that unfortunately. xD)
ETH : Intel PCI Ethernet Adapter (Can't remember the exact model.)
WiFi : No wireless card
HD1 : 100GB ATA Seagate Harddisk. (Can't recall the exact model number.)
HD2 : 32GB SATA Harddisk. (Salvaged from a dead HP Pavilion rig.)
OS : Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Did have Vista preinstalled on it, but I blew it up in favor of Linux. Stupid POS didn't do me much good on half a gig of RAM anyway.)

Now for my laptop's specs!

CPU : Intel Celeron Dual-core T3500 CPU, CPU1 = 2.10GHZ, CPU2 = 2.00GHZ
GPU : Intel Mobile Graphics 4 series (rev07, 1.2GB of Video Memory)
RAM : 3GB of internal system memory
WiFi : Realtek 8188CE internal wireless
HD : 300GB Hitachi HTS54323 internal harddisk
OSs : Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu 10.04LTS 32-bit (Wubi installation, 'cause the manufacture thought it be funny to fill up the partition table with useless recovery partitions. Makes me wish I had the Win7 install disk encase a dual-boot didn't work out. )

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, I know, but it's not like I could just buy a laptop with the specs I want these days. Jeez, why do all the latest lappys have to have semi-bleeding-edge specs or GTFO? >_<

I'm gonna shank the UPS man. My stuff isn't here yet. What good is paying for 3 day shipping if it takes 5-6 days to get here.

Was that in business days, by chance? My refurbished desktop PC arrived in five days, as advertised, but if I had ordered it on or before the weekend, the wait would have been even longer. xD
