    Jack, if I had another 300W PS, I'd gladly donate to the cause. However, the only other computer that isn't being used atm only has a POS Deer 250W. (Deer is famous for cold solder joints.)

    I would've gotten another PS if the fucking computer show hadn't have cancelled for this weekend. :mad:

    At PC2100, the memory is problematic; purchasing that much of it implies that you want to keep using it for a while, but I can almost guarantee that PC2100 is going to be outdated by the time you get another motherboard.
  • Huh? Whats wrong with 2100?

    sure, its up to 2700 now or something...but I mean, c'mon. all I own is 2100. its not like it's THAT much better then 2100....

    Well, it comes down to $$$ as usual...

    Since I only have an Athlon 1800+ and currently a PC2100 128 meg stick already, the new stick being PC2100 won't be an issue.

    I want to keep it cheap for now...

    This Mobo (Iwill xp333-r) is capable of using up to an Athlon (2600 ?) I think... and with the right overclock, multiplier, and BIOS upgrade... can actually use PC4000 memory...

    You should have arranged for it to be there a couple of weeks ago. The stars were clearly aligned correctly then, as paypal worked. (It stopped working again there after.)

    If Monday's not a problem I'll be down there to go to work, how about lunch time?

    Any place in particular you have in mind?

    What part of Fresno are you? North etc?

    :)
  • BekennBekenn Sinclair's Duck
    I'm in south-east Fresno, near Roosevelt High. (I heard Al Lowe used to teach band or something there... they actually let that guy near children....)

    Lunch time sounds good; we could try the Silver Dollar Hafbrau at Shaw and 41, get some good pastrami sandwiches or something.

    Or, hey, Best Buy....

    Actually, that's northern Michigan. My family heads there for about a month every summer; those are the only digital pictures I have of myself.

    That big tree I'm standing on was knocked over by a freak wind storm on the day we were leaving a year and a half ago; we had to cut it up and get it out of the road before we could leave. Most of the tree is still lying there; I figure at some point maybe we can do something with the lumber, as it's excellent wood.

    By the way... what [i]time[/i] are we meeting tomorrow?
