Operation Delta 7

[greengoose1]

Op De 7 now starts for the same reason as before. For anyone looking for the first time, the Queen of Hearts and I are going to build us each a computer. We Started this project knowing nothing. We have had a lot of help from others that we are very thankful for. I will leave it at that.

You betcha.

[Queen_of_Hearts]

Pretty bad when it cost more to ship it than the value of what's in the box.

[greengoose1]

A good UPS to plug it all in to.

PNY RAM ?

Looks good so far. Oh, I was looking for prices and found some listings I was confused about. What does (bulk) mean ?
You have to buy 50 million to get it at that price ?

[bistro]

"Bulk" usually is referring to bulk rate--i.e. wholesale--have to be a legit vendor or corporate buyer for those prices. (No...you don't want or need a crate of RAM ).


PNY is a RAM manufacturer. One of the best, in my opinion. Readily available in stores or on the Net.

You sure think big QoH. Xmas list Bistro? or my computer with xtras.

[Train]

OUR QUEEN yes QUEEN got it right therefore make a selection here. http://www.bcicomputers.com/pages/specials.htm

[bistro]

hey, like thatsite, Train. Instead of 'Save the Whales", we've got "Buy the Whales"...


greengoose1: Actually, no. Quite happy with my setup--perhaps a new case. Got my sights set for some big fish for the future though----get this system so fast that to bring up a file I just hafta think about it...

[Queen_of_Hearts]

You forgot the processor bistro !

What I was confused about was that in the list of Pentiumd there are four of each mhz.
They all look alike to me. How would I know which one to pick ? Like this page

And on the Video Card. Which slot ?

[Train]

I edited above. Now you know the non ability to decide. Until I venture up there and eyeball the case,in person, The duron barebones kind of has my attention.
