My Computer
I thought maybe people would like to know what type of computer I have. It's completely home built, and evolves when I get enough money to replace an outdated part. I think it's a lot more satisfying to build your own computer, but a lot of people don't have time for that. I don't have enough money to buy the best equipment, but I try to buy stuff that has a good balance of price, performance, and longevity.Here's what I've got currently:
| Processor | AMD Athlon XP 2500+ |
| Motherboard | ECS K7VTA3 |
| Memory | 512 MB DDR2100 |
| Hard Drive | Western Digital 40 GB, 7200 rpm |
| Video Card | GeForce FX 5200 with DVI and TV out |
| Sound Card | Sound Blaster Live! |
| Speakers | Klipsch ProMedia V.2-400 |
| Monitor | NEC MultiSync 90 19" Monitor |
| Drives | Memorex 6x/32x DVD/CD-ROM Sony 48x/24x/48x CD-R/RW |
| Network Card | On-board |
| Modem | None |
| Scanner | None |
| Printer | None |
| WebCam | D-Link DSB-C100 |
| Graphics Tablet | Wacom artZ II 6x8 |
| Keyboard | Generic PS/2 |
| Mouse | Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical |

I upgraded a few months ago to an AMD 2500+ processor and new memory, as well as a 40 gig hard drive and new
video card. I didn't notice much of a difference at first, but now I see it more. Things don't slow down much
when I run several things at a time. I can play 5 different videos at once instead of just one... I guess
that's better.
