I'll see your 4 cylinder dented commuter and raise you a 2 cylinder antique.  :)

Next week I shall be working on overhauling my mothers old machine (I took it in trade for my Athlon XP2400).  A PII 350mhz with a failing HD (30gb).  Attempting to get it into sufficiently good shape to pass on to a friend, he will likely pass it to his step daughter.  For a while though it will be running SETI here, first to get it "burned in" and fully tested then later waiting for him to be ready to take it.

Just built a P4 2.8GHZ hyperthreaded machine.  Has 1GB 400MHZ DDR RAM, 1MB Cache, and a GForce 5200 FX card with 256MB DDR.  Running everything on an Intel motherboard.  It's not a race car, but it's rock-solid performance wise.  Almost never crashes to desktop.

I am excited now!!  On New Years Eve I give WillWeasel the remaining funds to get my new system rolling and completed.  Hopefully, within a week of doing so, I'll be driving a new computer.  And, as a side note, he bought another 256m stick of memory for this computer, so it should run better too!!
   That means I will start 2005 with TWO systems!!  YAAAYYY!!!! (We really need a happy dance emoticon!!)
   Then I will be playing the OP game online and blowing things up.  Most likely myself. ;D

My rig now includes an external USB2 Liteon DVD +/- RW Dual Layer capable burner.  Unfortunately the existing DVD drive can't read the resulting DVD RWs either + or - versions.  A Christmas gift.

Not really.  The DVD-Rom is really old.  I don't think that there were even specs out yet for DVD R let alone RW when I bought it.  Just like some very old CD-Roms won't read (most) CD-Rs and CD-RWs.  Now I have an excuse to upgrade.  :)  I still need to test the new drive on burning CD RWs, its supposed to do them but I haven't tried. 

The only thing that I have used the DVD RW for so far is to back up my patch files - specifically the SFC patches.  All of them not just the current version.
