Well, it’s been a year so it’s time for me to upgrade my gaming machine. I’ve done rather well this year in terms of a bargain PC.
About 2 months ago I entered a competition on the HP website to win an HP ML110 for only £99. Well, I won so I contacted the suppliers and, lo and behold, I have a brand new ML110 sitting in my front room right now.
I’ve bought more ram for it so it’s up to 2GB and bought a new PCI-Express ATI Radeon X800 with 256MB VRAM. I’m going to steal the soundcard out of my old machine and I’m set.
So, basically I have the following:
3.2GHz P4 HT 2GB RAM ATI Radeon X800 256MB 80GB SATA HDD Creative Audigy
I can’t wait to put this baby together tonight. I’ll have XP SP2 + Drivers, WoW, PlanetSide and Battlefield2 installed by 10pm I reckon.
I get so excited about things like this. I’m a big old kid really. :D

I’m jealous. I woke up this morning and my computer had a warning telling me my virtual memory is too low =*(

SWEET! I had a freind who won a trip to sweden because he made the best clock design. How do I win stuff? I don’t even win a free snapple when I look under the cap.

I also won a HP server for £99 but I can’t seem to buy the right RAM. Just bought pc3200 1gb DDR400 ECC reg and it will not boot.

Colin, I’ll take a look at the RAM that I bought from Crucial. It took me about a day to fully research the right type of RAM that was needed using various sources and looking up part numbers on the RAM that was already in the machine.
I’ll comment here after I go home at Lunch :)
