Goodbye, old PC. After 5 and a half years of faithful service, my Pentium IV, 1.6 GHz machine finally died on me. That's why after it stopped functioning suddenly and wouldn't start anymore last night (Tuesday night), I couldn't even complain or get angry. But I felt a little sad because I'd be saying good bye to an old friend.

With that, however, and with many thanks to God, I bought a new PC. It's got a clean white casing with the following specs:

Genuine Intel Pentium IV 3.0 GHz
ASUS P5GZ-MX motherboard
512 MB DDR2 RAM
On-board Gb LAN
DVD Writer
Seagate 80 GB SATA HDD

Unfortunately, I neglected to check the motherboard due to my ignorance. So my current, still-working 512 MB DDR RAM won't work on my new motherboard, and neither will my GeForce 4. FORTUNATELY, I've been given permission to buy those items tomorrow (Thursday).

It's not a dream machine, I know, but it's well above the average machine, and more than enough to run most games today. I'm especially happy about the cooling system the casing has, but it's not really special. Just that, compared to my old machine, this one seems like it's not going to overheat at all (compared to my old machine where none of the fans work properly).

I can actually already feel the effects of the 3.0 GHz processor.

Another "unfortunately": a new motherboard means a reformatted HD. So I'm down to scratch again, however my old HDs are still here. I'm just copying the stuff that I can, like my anime and bboy videos, mp3s, images, and some bigass installers that I don't feel like redownloading, such as Granado Espada.

Anyway, thanks for all the help thus far, old PC, which I'd never named. Come to think of it, I should name my new PC. From now on, I'll call it Larry.
