I see rugged_1. So the best board for me to get would be an Nforce 3 and I'd just have to convert to AMD processors and all my other cards would still work? AMD doesn't bother me, their cheaper then Intel, but I've always used Intel. I like RAM too. If I can say to some unadvanced computer user I have the capacity for 4 gb of RAM, I feel proud!
My birthday is coming up and I need to find out what I should try to get my parents to get me. Any of this stuff out on the market yet? I was asking for a RAM upgrade and a new mobo but I guess that's changed around, but I'm not sure to where yet.
I forgot to mention I was talking about floppy drives.
I need a new one (I think). I gutted one from my mom's old work computer and it seemed to work fine. My case has the fancy design that sticks out and the drive doesn't come flat out to the case like CD drives do. I guess it isn't aligned right or in there because it rarely reads floppy disks. It spins up fast then slows down to a stop. Sometimes I can't open the disk on my computer, sometimes it asks if I want to format it... I can't find them for cheap though! Last time I checked they were $12 on Pricegrabber. That's too expensive for something I'm going to use every once in a while.
I try not to buy from CompUSA and Best Buy. They sometimes have good offers. They were selling a router for $9.99, it took about 6 hours to install...my internet feels soooo lagged down, BF Nation seems to mess up a lot today. I might just go spend money on a Linksys. I'm going to be damn sure I'm getting that rebate though. I didn't spend $60 on crap. I bought $70 DDR ram from BestBuy too. Supposed to be a rebate and end up $40. Well, a few days ago I got a nice little card in the mail explaining, but not why, that my rebate was rejected. So I spent $70 on 512mb of 2100 DDR?!?!? No longer will I buy anything but games from those stores.
Heh, if you want to sell overpriced stuff to newbs you should check out this POS PC Warehouse store near me. I had them install a new hard drive (this was before I knew I could d) and reformat. I had wanted Windows to be on D, because normally junk gets installed to C. I wanted junk installs away from Windows. So, I backed everything up on the drive we wanted to keep. They come back and reformated the wrong one and still put Windows on C (which I think you need to do). It costed about $100 labor...I could do that in 2 hours today for labor worth $25...
Anyway, I got some space I could find on my site could install OsCommerce (or whatever) for you if you want to sell Half-Life for $30 saying how you get games like TFC, Natural Selection, Day of Defeat all in one. "No, you don't need to spend $20 on Day of Defeat. Half-Life already has it!"
