Well the new PC is up and running

Finally got some bare bones protection and functionality on it...
Sal is trying a new game on it now, and throughout the week we'll actually load it up with office, openoffice, photoshop, gimp, and all the other standard stuff

I would have thought Firefox would have been the first thing listed.   |

I would have thought Firefox would have been the first thing listed. it went like: out of box install from usb/dvdr: install av/firewall install adaware, spy sweeper, pestpatrol install firefox plug into network update all of above, plus windows install system utilities |

out of box
install from usb/dvdr:
install av/firewall
install adaware, spy sweeper, pestpatrol
install firefox
plug into network
update all of above, plus windows
install system utilities
Exact order I always do. Is pestpatrol underrated? Never really hear it recommend. |

oh, and it can run Junior 9 with 1200 MB of RAM and evaluate 2M positions a second. I think it will be beating me everytime. If i ever get the dual proc version, I guess 3.5M positions a second is possible. of course, with even better machines (quad cores, faster RAM, etc) it's no wonder these machines are beatine gradnmasters routinely now. |
