The Thoughts of Cory LaViska

I'm finally giving up on my home-built computer.  After a new motherboard, new memory, two new video cards, and a new operating system, it still freezes at the most inopportune times.  I've concluded that this is not a software issue and I can't seem to pinpoint what is wrong/broken/incompatible with the hardware.  So, after hours of rewriting tedious JavaScript code that was lost in the freeze (along with other equally annoying data losses), I decided to trash the idea of building another system myself and just order a new computer online.  With so much reliance on my desktop these days, instability like this just can't be tolerated.

So I did what anyone who has lived in Round Rock, Texas would do...I ordered a Dell.  Here's a few of the specs:

• Intel Core2 processor (2.40Ghz Quad Core, 8MB cache)
• 4GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz
• 256MB Radeon HD 2600 XT (with dual DVI)
• 320GB SATA2 Hard Drive (7200RPM)
• 6X Blu-Ray and 16X DVD+/-RW
• Media card reader with BlueTooth

I maxed out the processor and RAM for this system.  And, of course, I have another SATA2 hard drive that needs to go in there, but I'm sure that this will last quite awhile.  I hope it doesn't freeze up on me :(
