He'll get to that when he gets there (or when he feels like it). Be patient; people ALWAYS post the specs of their new comps.

You got a computer with 2 gigabytes of RAM... for browsing porn!?!?!?

Egads. How much did that run you?

(oh, yes, and the floppy drive in that computer will feel very inadequate, possibly leading it to take suicide seriously. Don't be surprised if you find it crammed so full of dust one day that it won't operate ;) )

Heh, I wanted this thing so future proofed I wouldn't even need to think about upgrading it for a long time to come.

All in all it set me back about 2300 Euro....and before anyone says I could have saved a fortune if I'd built it myself etc, I don't have that much free time so I took the easy option. Given the amount of hours I work I felt I deserved one big splurge before I have to start taking life seriously.
