Computers

Sometimes you just have to love computers and then others you just have to hate them. So a few weeks ago one of our clients got a new computer from Circuit City and I had to go out and set up the printer for them. Here comes the sick part, this machine cost $500 bucks and is stinking amazing. It has a 64bit Athlon processor, it has built in video but has pci express if you want to change it, it comes standard with 512mb of DDR RAM, a 200Gb SATA HDD, a 9 in 1 media card reader, a dual layer DVD Burner and the list just goes on. This machine kicks the pants off my machine that I built myself which is to be expected since i built my machine several years ago but still. I am just amazed at the prices of computers and the specs of them nowadays. It is amazing what you can get for fairly cheap. I mean it is seriously making me consider getting a pre-built system when it comes time to upgrade my machine but we shall see when the time gets closer.
