    Default What recent upgrades have you done to your computer?

    I just upgraded my IMac with 2Gb of RAM, OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and replaced my Wacom tablet mouse with a Magic Mouse.

    You?

    I ripped apart a 10" netbook, to put in a 2 GB stick of ram, a 320 GB Scorpio Black hard drive, a new wireless N internal card, and a 3rd antennae for the wireless card. Damn these netbooks are tight inside.

    I stuck a flash drive in my computer to back up my porn

    All i have really messed with is throwing a scrap system together to use as a HTPC for the wife.
    She wanted to watch netflix and surf the net on the TV but she don't want a TV encoder card for some reason.

    Not much in the way of hardware (I did pick up a new laptop for work - PC), but software: CS4, Drupal 6.15, and I need to find a way to get the iPhone SDK to somehow run on my PC - I might break down and pick up a Mac, I don't know. But I really need to get into writing iPhone apps. Anyone here Hackintosh?

    His site is so secret, Secret Squirrel himself needs a retina scanner, fingerprint reader, DNA scanner, and a 2048 bit encryption key to get in.


    This is, of course, after he FINDS the site.

    Yeah - that keeps the riff-raff out...

    Of course - it also means he comes in and the only thing greeting him is an echo...

    It is not necessarily a waste of ram 32bit windows will use 3.5 gigs or so depending on what your video card has on it.

    I love chess, but I suck so horribly. I've never played Chess Titans. Have you played over at Chess.com?

    I mostly play ChessMaster on the PSP - really the only game I play on that stupid thing.
