I must say I can't remember what exactly I didn't like at. I just remember the feeling of horror when I encountered a machine with problems and saw that it was running Windows ME. Maybe part of it was that most of the computers I encountered that did have ME installed were not very good in the...

I use Photoshop and Lightroom for photos and graphics. I love Lightroom for photo management and I do most of my post-processing in it now. I rarely have to open Photoshop for most photos. I subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud. There are many programs that I don't use often, but it's always...

This sounds like a fun and nostalgic project. Windows 98SE was my favorite OS for a long time before XP came around. The first build I did for myself had 98SE on it. Millennium Edition was the worst! People have given much better suggestions than I could, but what about checking for schools or...

no, they're jumpers

I've actually got it going now by plugging in my old boot drive and installing on that partition. That's a pretty old drive, though, and I'm afraid it'll be dying soon so now I'm moving around some things and making a new partition on the other IDE drive which I had actually planned on keeping...

I've lived with them since high school, and I didn't have a regular job until recently. I am fairly old-fashioned so I'll probably live here until I get married. a quickr pickr post

Yeah, the kid didn't get into any of the photos. I ended up having to move my boot partition to an IDE drive, though. Those silly SATA drivers were just too much trouble. a quickr pickr post

Thanks, guys. The case actually isn't that big, however I am a bit small. I had to replace the motherboard and that took care of some of the problems, however now I'm having trouble installing Windows on a SATA drive. I can't seem to get the SATA drivers installed. I am slipstreaming my...

I'm actually working on that right now. I had some other things to do today while it's still light. Second batch of pictures. Me getting the case out. a quickr pickr post

Here's the first set of pictures. The components and me, ready to build a quickr pickr post

Hey guys, I did my build on Saturday but while I got it actually built I ran into some trouble when I tried to install Windows and successively stranger problems as I tried various boot cds. And then of course it was Christmas Eve which is also my grandmother's birthday and I sing in church...

I have used Gparted, Partition Magic, and the Windows management tools. Although I think you're making your OS partition a bit bigger than you need to. If you are just going to be installing Windows and your programs on that partition and your documents folder, files, etc on the other drives you...

I'm 23 and I don't live with my parents anymore, but I still seem to end up fixing something at their house about weekly. Apokalipse, I agree. I'm not going to switch my loyalties over one decent CPU set. I think that AMD is going to be on top in everyone's eyes performance-wise again when we...
