Ok, so I've got this really neat Tandy, and I was thinking about
getting on-line, but I can't seem to find anyone who will work on it.
I'm sure there are plenty of good parts out there.
So I need to get a new computer the guy tells me. So I ask him what I
neeed, and he said that I could get a very nice computer from Dell, or
Gateway, Or Compaq/HP. Just make sure it had "Windows" because thats
what everybodi uses these days.
I said "Yep ever since they came out with flat glass" I"d never heard
of Bill Gates before that day.
So 3 hours and 1000 dollars later he had what he said was the "least
oblosete" system on the market.
it wasn't untill later i discovered that olnly lasted 1/100 of a
second.
please forgive the <sp> my meds are wearing off.
Now about these new computers
how much ram does a person really need? Is a gig overdoing it? Do I
need three to keep up with progress? How much progress is there to be
made when the processor melts it's way through the motherboard and the
fancy plastic case and falls flaming and smoking to the floor. Yes
I'm talking to the gamers out there. If it wasn't for you guys
computers would never have come so far so damn fast.
My point. What is this "Wall" I hear about? Is is a myth or is there
just really an end to the Internet?
Seriously, Today's processors the fastest are what 2.3 gigahertz,
headed to 3.0? or is there a limit to how fast they can be made to go
with current technology.
I remember someone saying that it is the printed circut
design/material that was the barrier.
Now I understand a little about frequencies, and less about the finer
points of modern innovation
Are there certain frequencies you would optimally have matched for top
performance, ie 400mhz ram/mb/processor components
Really, I just want to know if yesterdays technology isn't so old,
that up-gradeing isn't worth my time, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
So what if it's a 33.6 dial up connection, if it's all I need for a
couple of hours a night to try to **** somebody off,
