Progress report
So I found a 2.53 ghz processor on eBay for like 40 bucks shipped. I got it and put it in the new computer to try it out. Powered it on and it didn't work. Nothing. When I got it one of the pins was bent,and I thought maybe it wasn't in the hole. I went to pull the chip out of the slot and nearly burned my fingers off! It gets super HOT really freakin fast! Anyway, I finally figured out that the computer won't boot up without the heatsink. At least thats my belief. I didn't do anything else to it except install the heatsink and it worked. Who knows really. I don't understand.
I also got another 512MB RAM for it for like 40 bucks. So now it has 1 GB.
Anyway, the BIOS has so many different options for stuff I have never heard of. I am just trying to turn off all the POST crap on the screen and boot up faster. I can't figure it out. It boots up so I'm somewhat excited about that. Of course windows on the hard drive won't boot up. So right now I'm formatting and reinstalling windows over what was a freshly installed windows with a whole mess of games etc. that took me a week to make perfect. But that was before the whole "upgrade" began, in like, January. The fans are kind of loud too. I wish I would have gotten a nicer case. I wish I had a job and money so I could have just bought a brand new name brand already done computer and been done with it months ago. Live and learn...
Other non-computer news.... Still no job. Had a few interviews but no call backs. Nothing else going on in my life. I saw "Wild Hogs". There was some really funny stuff in it. I enjoyed it.
