My Computer
I thought maybe people would like to know what type of computer I have. It's completely home built, and evolves
when I get enough money to replace an outdated part. I think it's a lot more satisfying to build your own computer,
but a lot of people don't have time for that. I don't have enough money to buy the best equipment, but I try to buy
stuff that has a good balance of price, performance, and longevity.
Here's what I've got currently:

I upgraded a few months ago to an AMD 2500+ processor and new memory, as well as a 40 gig hard drive and new
video card. I didn't notice much of a difference at first, but now I see it more. Things don't slow down much
when I run several things at a time. I can play 5 different videos at once instead of just one... I guess
that's better.
