Thanks to Steve (the b*st*rd) Taylor, I've bin spendin to the point
where Charlotte has started framing the credit card statements and
looking at very expensive travel luggage...

Anyway, take a mix of the following:

2 x 2Gig ones of these:

all held together with one of these

http://linitx.com/product_info.php?cPath=12_45&products_id=1

I have the nerve centre ready, a silent running, no moving parts, fit
in a fag packet (alright, big fag packet) 'puter with touch screen...

So, thanks Steve, Charlotte is soooo going to want to have a little
chat with you... ;-)

Must be something to do with 62FL19, as you were blaming me for the new
exhaust etc when I had the GS!

Ah yes, although I'm sure I was able to blame you for a few other
spends, too... Steve has developed your art, knows my weaknesses and
exploits them.

Did you get one from my Credit Card company?

Charlotte has a growing list of names... ;-)

XP pro, probably.

Mind, just bought the latest round of "Cossacks" (http://www.cossacks.de)
which needs 2GB of disk space to install, 768MB and 128MB graphics are only
just adequate to run it, on a 1.9GHz athlon.

bloody big softare.

interestingly, their minimum spec is 512MB/64MB - I tried it on this machine
with a 64MB graphics card, and all I can say is I'd hate to try and run it
on the minimum spec machine they claim it'll run on. I reckon this one
could do with more ram, really - trouble is, 's one of these modern mobos
with only 2 ram slots, so upping the ram means removing 256MB that's already
there, and substituting something else - in which case, there's hardly any
point in getting one less than 1GB, which are about 50+ quid ATM.

1.9Ghz, 786Meg? Why are you running such antiquated hardware? Treat
yourself to a new pc

:D

PS. Mine has 1.5Gb in it, and still one slot spare......

Unlike you to have an unfilled slot, Alex... :cool:~

the sempron replaces the Athlon XP socket A processor (it has a smaller
second level cache in its new 64 bit Socket 939 guise ) but in
benchmarks it seems to make a little difference have a look at
http://www23.tomshardware.com/index.html for comparisons

If Martyn is putting XP Pro anywhere near Grumble I will drown
laughing in a puddle of my own ****. I suspect he will be doing
something Linux based - probably a stripped down kernel or summat.

2Gb of log files is a lot of mileage though!

Oooh! Bitchy!

For your information it originally came with 2x512, but I "obtained"
another 512 and slotted it in.

According to the manual:

The max on the m/b is 3Gb, despite having 4 slots (?)
Only 512meg modules are supported, 1gb is not listed as supported.
Also interestingly, the motherboard (Gigabyte, Nforce2) seems quite
happy to support Dual-Channel with three DIMMS in....
However, to achieve the full 3Gb with Dual-Channel requires the
installation of 2x512 and 2x1Gb. Fitting 3x1Gb will halve the bus
bandwidth.....

Aaargh!

always want a bigger one...

Nice thought, but you're safe and can remain 'dry'

Yup - scary isn't it, to be so predicable :)

What? After it failed to work once and Martyn borrowed an MBT to run it over
