Have my body shot into space so that the aliens can bring me back to life. Then I can go jumping on their home planet which is a half gravity environment. 2x the freefall!!! Yeah baby! Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

None. I knew this was what I wanted to do and I wasn't going to waste any time getting into it. Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

So if you were not jumping with anyone else and only doing solos would jumping after 2 weeks be ok? Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

Lifting weights still aggravates my shoulder and my running shoes are worn out and I haven't' gotten new ones. Plus I haven't finished making the ultimate running & workout playlist. Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

Nice system Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

Just for reference, Asus' latest and greatest board, the P5B Deluxe uses the Intel P965 chipset and supports six Serial ATA connectors in RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. It has a separate JMicron controller that provides another two Serial ATA connectors for RAID 0 and 1 Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

Yup. 3 with Asus, 1 with Gigabyte, and one with MSI. NEVER have had to use a floppy. I use boards that have SATA support built into the main chipset. I connect the primary HD to a SATA connector that is fed off the main chipset. If you have a board that has an additional RAID controller and use that then you might need floppies but most people don't need it. Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

No. You don't need a floppy. You don't need to load drives for SATA. Maybe if you have an older board or a board that has a secondary HD controller chip then you might but any modern board has support for SATA on the the main chipset and therefore doesn't need drivers. Hence, no floppy. I've built 5 systems from scratch over the past 2 years and haven't put a floppy in any of them. Boot from the OS cd and you're off.

Processor: Intel Core Duo or Core 2 Duo Motherboard: Asus, Gigabyte, MSI. P965 or G965 northbridge chipset. ATX or micro ATX form factor. Graphics Card: If mobo with G965 chipset use the onboard, if P965 it will be PCI-E. (AGP is old tech) In that case go with either Nvidia or ATI. Doesn't matter unless you really are into game FPS stats. (For GARYC24 onboard graphics should be fine) Memory: Get 1GB min, 2GB max of whatever ram the mobo will support. (Probably will be DDR2 of some speed) Hard Drive: Seagate, Western Digital, Samsung, Fujitsu, 7200rpm, Serial ATA is a must CD/DVD/Burner: Whatever you want and is in your price range. Power Supply: 350-450w PS, Seasonic S-12, Antec NeoHE, Antec EarthWatts, Zalman Case: Whatever you like. ATX form factor will fit both board sizes while micro ATX cases will only fit micro ATX size boards. OS: If you can wait, go for Vista, otherwise get XP Pro with SP2 Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

I PM'd you as well but for everyone else... Given the number of components out there. There's million's of configurations possible. What exactly are you wanting out of this machine? General office stuff like Word, Web, and Email? Games? Video? Music? Media Center? Do you care if it is noisy or will this be in the bedroom where you want it quiet? How big of an area are you putting this in? How much do you want to spend? Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

As my icon indicates, Beaker. Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

I think the first thing you should do is ask yourself what you or the person you are getting for for wants to do with it. Do you just want to brows the web, and check email. Do you want to play games on it. Will it be sitting on a desk mostly or will it actually travel frequently with the owner? If it were a desktop system, it'd be simple matter of getting the biggest baddest equipment that you can afford. However when a laptop comes into play you need to consider the aforementioned items. Buying a computer on brand alone is not a good idea. Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

I'd be willing to bet that they did buy the technology from someone. That's their standard operating procedure. Buy a slightly mature technology, add a few new tweaks, and rebrand it MS. Then on v2 they'll start improving the underlaying groundwork some more while only slightly improving the interface. Finally on v3 they'll have actually made something worth buying and that is when it will become widely sold. A few examples of this pattern include, windows, office, media center, the ms mouse, and internet explorer. Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793
