New PC on the way

Category : Around The Office

Woot.

Just got confirmation that the new PC is on the way from Portatech:

Barebones with AMD CPU
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (Dual Core)
Mother Board: MSI K9A PLATINUM
Cool Package – Gaming (Ult. Copper Heatpipe Fan, 2 Perf. Case Fans, Artic Silver 5 Compound)
4GB DDR2 800MHz (Dual Channel Kit) – Ultra High Speed / Standard Memory Capacity
Echo Star 680 Watt Power Supply (Dual-Core Certified)

Video card is the same from the old PC: ATI 512MB x1500 – or something close to it. It supports SLI, and still runs just about any game with a decent frame rate. When I have more cash sitting around not needed for taxes or bills Ill upgrade the video cards and start working from 4 monitors. Oooo that day will be great.

HDs will be the same from the old machine. 2 Maxtor 200GB SATA2 7200RMP
1 WD 100 GB SATA2 7200RPM

And in the meanwhile, the computer is in a box, on a FedEx truck, in LAKE FOREST, CA.
