I bought a new PC

17 inch LG LCD Monitor My PC keeps giving me various problems and kept me offline again for days. So I bought a new PC using my AdSense Earnings.

The sad part is that I got the new PC with a few viruses and I had a tough time removing them as I did not have an Anti-Virus installed and the virus kept restarting my PC frequently

Anyways, here’s the configuration of my new PC:

Creative Inspire 5.1 Speaker

Intel Pentium D 945 3.40 GHz Processor
Intel 945G Motherboard
17-inch LG LCD Monitor
250GB SATA 2 Seagate HDD
2 GB DDR2 RAM
Sony DVDR/RW Drive
Creative Inspire 5.1 Speaker
Logitech Keyboard
Logitech Optical Mouse

I am quite happy with my new system as it is so much faster than my old Pentium 4 PC.

When I was back online, I found that I had 5320 unique traffic yesterday and 75 Technorati favorites

Thanks to all of you

By the way, I would like to buy a Computer chair too, I hope you can recommend me a nice one.

Congrats on your new rig, John! Looks like a pretty sweet kit to me, and a rather universal one too.

I’ve got a very similar box, but I’m still on P4 3Ghz level, and haven’t had the real need to get a newer system. Instead, I recently got myself a 21″ LCD from Samsung (214T).

All the best, hope all your viruses are gone now and you’ll enjoy a better box to write your articles on.

Talk later,
Gleb

That’s a pretty decent config and should keep you going for another 1.5 years without any problems if you throw in a graphics card with DX 10 capability.

Kat- Thank you

Gleb Reys- I should have bought atleast a 19-inch Monitor

Madhur Kapoor- Thanks a lot for reminding me about Carbon, but do you think it will work under this configuration without a Graphic Card?

Shivaranjan- yes, I am waiting for DirectX 10 to be released first.

Wow! The config sounds amazing!
Hmm…How much do you earn via adsense/ads ? (if you don’t mind me asking :D)

Now that is nice

I’m due an upgrade, had this thing over 2 years now. Luckily I got (could afford) the best machine available at the time so it’s still going pretty strong.

Good stuff John…and how amazing was your Technorati exchange program?

JohnTP

December 18, 2006 at 10:56 pm

dEEPAK- I will try it out anyways

listikal- I got good response to the Technorati exchange program. It helped me get 78 favorites so far

Congratulation John.
But I disagree with Zigire since you should have bought a new generation CPU..and here I mean the great core 2 due!
and to be more specific I mean E6600! it`s the best! and since u got 2Gb RAM that system was the best for all time!
I think it`s very expensive in india as in middle east(if it`s available first!) but it`s really worth it!
anyway congratulation and keep up the good work
