So after having this Pentium 4 Dell laptop for three years, I am finally able to replace it. Even though I didn't go with another Dell, I couldn't beat the $325 off for it. It's a Inspiron 1520 w/ a Core 2 Duo T7300 (2.0Ghz, 4MB Cache, 800Mhz FSB), 2GB DDR2 @ 667Mhz, nVidia GeForce 8600 GT w/ 256MB, only an 80GB 5400RPM HD though, I've been working with a 40GB for more than 3 years now and double the space will be nice. A few times I've had to uninstall some of my games to make room for another. But the biggest thing now is, I can get some new games!! All the new stuff can't be run on this machine, and the SpeedStep on this Pentium 4 is all messed up. I've never been able to turn it off, so whenever I play online or anything newer then like Half-Life then the CPU keeps switching between two speeds and @$%@ it all up. Plus the thing runs hot. This will be a nice computer for my dad though. It will give him something to learn on at home, since the only computer he has access to normally is at work otherwise. I've also had to teach him a lot of things, and since the OS on this thing and his at work are pretty much the same (XP Home here, XP Pro at work) he shouldn't have any problems, and if he does have problems, he'll just call me :P. I won't get the new machine until like the second week of September, so I can't wait!

Until next time,
