Uppgrade fun
Saturday, I finally got a chance to head down to Free Geek with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fayanora. I wanted to get some RAM for a new-to-me box I'd picked up a couple months back.
It only had 512 meg of RAM and it was *agonizingly* slow ayt some things (like when I cloned an old IDe drive to a newer SATA drive. Took all day to clone a 300 gig drive. Ugh.
I'd found the specs online and wanted 4 1 gig DDR2 DIMMs. 533 MHz. That'd bring it up to its full 4 gig capacity.Even if Windoze XP can't use all of that Linux can.
This was our first time at Free Geek's Thrift Store. Lots of interesting stuff. I had to "settle" fotr 667 MHz parts. Fay was looking at LCD monitors and other things. She got a mike, an ergonomic keyboard and a mouse.
I spotted several things I wished I had the money for. (heck, I'd had to borrow money from Fay to get part of the RAM)
( the saga of upgrades and new-to-me systems )
