My New PC Build
My AGP-based, first generation Athlon 64 was getting long in the tooth, and didn’t have a lot of upgrade room. With an eye towards doing more .NET development, and…uh…Bioshock’s impending release I built a new machine.
- Athlon64×2 4000+ with stock heatsink/fan
- ASUS M2N-SLI mainboard
- 2GB of RAM (Crucial, of course)
- ATI x1950Pro video card
- PC Power & Cooling 610 power supply
I reused a SATA drive and Antec case I had already. The power supply seems like overkill but that video card (crucial for productivity), eats a lot of amps. The build went easily, and even with considerably more horsepower this PC is quieter than the old model.
I’m also trying running as a limited user under XP on this machine. I’ll fast-switch to an admin account when I need to install something. Now to get Visual Studio and…uh Bioshock installed.
So, are you killing the Little Sisters in Bioshock, or letting them live? Either way, you’re a pervert.
My home PC is top of the line (for 5 years ago…)
