I think I will not get much sleep tonight :]

Despite the fact that I have to be at work at 4AM, and didn't get home tonight from there until 630 PM, I will probably b e playing with my new-to-me desktop pc. It's an HP 6000 Pro sff, with a core 2 duo 2.8, 2gb ram at the moment (what the heck could I do with the max of 16). It has on-board Intel 4500 graphics.

I'll get to find a low profile video card if the vga graphics are not up to snuff (likely) tho I don't think I can easily upgrade meager power supply.

Now to see if the hard drive I have lying around is any good

I now have a win 7 license, but highly doubt I will ever use it

....(what the heck could I do with the max of 16)....

My suggestions;

• Take the Windows 7 and run it in Virtual Box 7 times and call it Windows 49.
• Install a mess of high end video games and run a ton of apps in the background.
• Download the SETI program from Berkeley and find aliens.
• Get Blender 3D and make a full length motion picture.
• Run a recursive algorithm to find the real meaning of pi.

Sweet dreams... and if not call in sick.

Call out?? Funny

All I wanted was a basic PC to use as a media center so I can watch my po....,er...movies and TV :eek:

Heck I am happy so far with what I got, best $66 I have spent in a while. And I get to do some small, inexpensive upgrades as I go I could slap a core 2 quad in there if I wanted, but that costs way over my budget

Jeez, the Math Joke made me laugh (a little). Is there no hope? Once a geek, always a geek? I've been out of math for 26 years (and now have many friends), now 64, and I still get off on this s*. A mathematician in-drag, ad infinitum ...

[SteveRiley]

Uh, shouldn't that be aerodynamicists in drag?

[woodsmoke]

or...as the wont may appy....the Bernoulli.brothers ..... tasked with the projected needs of the sewers of Paris.... applied the aerodynamical flow of water to tubes. OR...vice a versa ...and thereby spawned the whole genre of the vampire...

Who cares about the claptrap tho bringing up drag caught my attention, that is all I'll say on that

gus-HP-Compaq-6000-Pro-SFF-PC, as he is now called, plays mah XBMC like a champ, even using a vga connection. My speakers are a bit underpowered, though.

Please...don't stop, do tell!
