There goes eighty days' uptime.

Another two 256MB DIMMs installed, and the MP3 drive and CD-ROM are now accessible. Yet to attempt the video card, but that can wait. KDE runs a lot better in 640 meg, you know. Mozilla, fat-arsed bastard that it is, loads thirty-odd tabs without thrashing. I'm almost missing the sound of the hard drive swapping its little brain out while my screen seizes for two seconds every time I click something.

Give your computer the gift of memory. As much as it can fit. You will both be much happier.

Plugged the wheelmouse back in, but I like the trackball a lot more. Just wish it had a third button. And/or a wheel.

Off sick again today, probably off sick tomorrow. This sucks.

I've yet to get around to doing what i've been intending to do to the p/pro pc sitting switched off here atm. another helping of memory would do it some good probably, tho it can only take a max of 512mb of EDO ECC DIMMs, which are often a bugger to find!

Still got the virus? damn it, are you gonna blame me for that? ;) I saw my gp and she told me to be more vigilent with inhalers and make an emergency appt. if I get worse (ie coughing up more phlem than usual)

The memory works, so I'm now a fan of Crucial - best prices I've found on decent stuff with a warranty. Of course, this involves the use of the cr*d*t c*rd ...

yeh, I've heard good things regards Crucial prices. They sell the stuff I need for the P/Pro system, but it's about £60 for 256mb!

Mmm... I want to give my computer the gift of memory, but I have to sell my flatmate into white slavery first.

Surreptitiously nick memory from their machine for yours?
