Running Outta Stuff To Replace...
Aug. 10th, 2010 06:06 pmThis is NOT a bad-stuff post. I've just been thinking of what's left to upgrade or replace on the desktop, and it basically boils down to the following:
More memory (Always good, to a point)
Bigger Hard Drive (At $40-$50 for 500 gigs this is likely before the end of the year)
More Powerful Processor (Now that I have a board that will SUPPORT a kickass processor... ;) This one will wait a while, unless one somehow drops in my lap)
Bigger/Better Monitor (I'd LOVE a 21+ inch widescreen display- bigger the better!)
Windows 7 Home or Pro (Maybe after I replace the drive.)
That's about all that I can think of, and none of this stuff is on the 'soon' list. The drive and Win7 are likely what'll happen first; the drive being cheap and Win7 just being a smart upgrade from XP Pro 32.
Its nice to have my toy back.
