I see computers as a chance for a little extra income too and I want to soon start building and selling computers. And hey, mabye one day I'll be a big computer tycoon as now I am only 12 and I know quite a bit of computers. Now this is a big contriversary. Around April, I purchased a Dell 2400. I put my old hd in, a 512 card of ram, and its excellent. I do moderate gaming, and this computer doesn't give any problems. On occasion the internet will lag but that might be my wifi connection or a bunch of other things. Anyway Dells are excellent, cheap machines and are more than they are said to be. And as for old computers, I may not be that old but I remember one day, my dad brought home a HUGE computer chip. I take it out of it's bubble wrap and I was puzzled. (This was back around 2000 so you can imagine my surprise). I ask my dad what it was and he said it was memory, and of course I asked how much was on it and he said two megabytes. I was dumbfounded. And this chip was only a few years old. Going on to a new story we still have some unpacked boxes from when we moved around 3 years ago. In one of those boxes in our living room is a very old Apple 2 G something or other. And again, this is only around 15 years old. So look at what rates things change. I remember in the late 1990's dialing up to AOL version 3.1 on our gateway 3000. The point of these stories: I don't know. I just wanted to point out how quickly technology is being improved and how some people might have 2gigabytes of RAM nowadays, in a couple of years 2 gb might be pretty crappy. So take advantage of what you have now. What this has to do with anything that has been posted so far: I really don't know. Just thought I'd share. Again, if you have any PC components you'd like to recomend to me that'd be great. Enough of my rambling- I'm going on like I'm 70 years old and lost the sense of when to stop.
I wonder how bad I'll be when I turn 70. . . .
