Tech comes Friday

My IRS refund check finally cleared (which means it takes roughly 2 business nights to clear a good check), and thus I'm able to order from Newegg:
  • A Gigabyte brand GA-K9NE Socket 754 NVIDIA Nforce 4 Motherboard
  • A Gigabyte brand NVIDIA Geforce 6600LE PCI Express x16 video card
  • An AMD Sempron 64 2500+ (Palermo core)
  • Two sticks of CORSAIR ValueSelect 1 Gig DDR 400 RAM
Total came out two cents shy of $358.  I chose to have it rushed (BLUE BINS!!!) and FedEx'ed over 2 days, so it should be here Friday, and I get to update systems.

Nice, wish I had the funds to update everything, but, well, that's how shit happens.

So finally putting your 1600+ out to pasture, eh? :)

No, giving it to Mom. She needs the speed and RAM I have. Her current mobo is Dad's mobo, and I'll get the lower-end one back for a different system.
