• Motherboard ASUS M2N-X.
• Processor Athlon64 X2 5000+.
• Memory 2GB DDR2 800Mhz

Most of what I had before has been preserved, like hard drives, monitor, etc.

So no huge difference, except now I have dual core in the desktop (already have a dual core laptop) and I can do virtual machines at home.

Anyway, not going to bore you about how cool this machine is, how easy it was just to rebuild initrd, etc etc etc.

What matters now:

• There is a new poll in my blog. Tell me what kind of computer you have.
• The remainder parts of my old machine are for sale.

Let the fun begin.

Tem quer trouxa mesmo pra comprar esse carro…

As especificações dizem que ele é maior, mais pesado, tanque menor, menos potente que o Mille, e custa R$20,00 a menos. Pra piorar, é fabricado por uma desconhecida (qual a garantia de peças e manutenção baratos?).

Alguém deve estar pensando que só tem idiota no Brasil…

I dreamt about someone connecting a rat’s brain to a computer, and teaching it to play war games, and it always win.

The game was Counter Strike.

WTH…
