Need a new PC with lots of RAM and a big hard
drive (1TB) or maybe 2 500GB's would be
better. One can act as a back up.
God knows what processor.
Middle of the range one would do I guess but
what would that be? Confuzzled by all this
quad processor malarkey.
Anyone know of any companies that build
custom spec PC's?
I've not got techy knowledge to build it
myself so don't mind paying a small fee for a
company to do it for me.

My current one is tiny.
A mere 60GB.
Can't be doing with that.
The processor is a bit lame too.
Something like a 2.2Ghz, urgh!! 
Too SLOWWWWWW!! |

yea chris get some one to help you make it
BIG - an experienced hand would be able to
get everything working better at the
slightest touch
and the guy that helps will also get pleasure
from seeing you finally getting switched on.

Chris, why dont you just get an external hard
drive and use that to store your junk on?
The bigger a hard drive you get the more
chance its going to go wrong. |

Junk 
Processor is rubbish too though.
I did a full Ad-Aware scan last week and it
took 7 hours. 
That's with the RAM being at 760MB or there
abouts.
Bought it back in 2003 so I guess it's bound
to struggle a bit.
I'd need one with XP on it. Can't be doing
with Vista.

Lol chris, I remember you wanting a new moby
with a bigger memory cos you hated deleting
txt messages, im assuming you are no
different with your pc and keep every single
piccy, email and music track, lol
Sounds like you do need a new pc, but you are
going to struggle getting a 'new' one with XP
on it. |

You can Partition your hard drive so it acts
like two hard drives.
You can then make your partitioned drive into
a document??
That would take less time to load etc and
still have the info to hand.
There should be a petition to get Microsoft
to replace vists with,, guess what XP ha ha
its rubbish |

How can I check that website if I've put my
PC in the bin Urban.
I think there's a company in Greenock (near
the T Mobile building) that does custom PC's
but I cant' remember the name of them. Don't
suppose you know it?
I used to deliver to them but urgh, crappy
memory. Just like my current PC I
guess.

Nope nope, songs, music vids, random images,
porn (no animals or kids lol), UKCB / M.S.N
chat logs and other random clutter that I've
accumulated over the past 5 years.
Wish I bought a PC back then with a big hard
drive. 60GB is just poo!
