New Additions.
I have officially decided, as of right now, I will be incorporating monthly articles titled “The Monthly Open-Source” and the “Monthly Microstink.” I do not know when during the month they will be published, yet, I will keep you updated. I am sorry I have not posted much this week, I have been really busy with my new computer, and today we helped someone from church move. Oh, speaking of which, here are the revised specs of the new computer, the ones posted in the other article were incorrect. improvements are in bold, and downgrades are in italics.
MSI 915G Combo motherboard.
Pentium 4, 3.2GHZ processor.
128MB PCI-e x16 Graphics card with VGA/HDMI/S-VIDEO outputs
512MB DDR2 RAM (did have a 512MB DDR RAM, but I bought a DDR2, thinking the old one was, too, and they were not compatible, so I took out the DDR, and put in the DDR2, and I will buy another 512MB DDR2.)
3 Fans(a lot less noise) (Took two out, cleaned the processor cooling unit, and left the two best fans in the case, taking out the two old ones. Video card has no fan, it died a while ago.)
4USB 2.0 slots (as compared to 6. the two front ones did not work, hardware was damaged, causing a power surge. may replace in future.)
16x(I think) DVD drive, which Wimpdows is having problems recognizing.
Floppy Drive (woo… hoo…)
integrated Gigabit Ethernet (still needs driver, using PCI card from old computer, works really good.)
Integrated 5.1 channel audio. Also needs driver, using PCI sound card I found in garage, works good.
I am going to name it Vicky. That is short for Invictus, which means “unconquerable” in… Latin?
