Oh my god said:
I believe I may finally be pushing the limits of my system's hardware
Not to mention ECC RAM providing better memory bandwidth!
Or ....
Nope. Too many "or"s to pick out just one or two.
I see that Honold is right on the money. Let his reply stand for mine as well.
Now for the $64 question. Is this guy for real? Or is he one of Flagreen's aliases stretching things out to see just how much stupidity people will take before they stop believing that a poster really can be as moronic as he pretends to be?
If it's you, Bill, thankyou: that was the best belly laugh I've had all week!
If not - and I fear it is not - .... well, what can I say?
WTF? It's his money and he's entitled to spend it any way he wants to. Hell, he could drop $700 on a horse race or a game of poker and no-one would even stop to think about it. Or take his year-end bonus down to the local watering hole, have a couple more scotches than was good for him, wind up shouting the whole bar and drop $700 that way. Guys who work on oil rigs and mines do that all the time and no-one cares.
This way, he's not only avoided the headache and the parrot-cage mouth syndrome, he's even got a computer that performs basic tasks reasonably well and can probably surf the web almost as competently as the $200 K6-2/500s and Celeron 633s that many of my more elderly customers still run.
I say good luck to him.
(Are you
sure it isn't you Flagreen?)
