I&#8217;ve tenatively decided to stay away from the 64 bit offerings until the market there stabilizes and prices come down. So I&#8217;m looking at a Barton Core Athlon XP 3200+ and a MoBo with an Nvidia Nforce2 Ultra 400 or Via KT880 chipset, dual channel PC 3200 DDR DIMMS (probally 2x512Mb), a nice looking case and a sturdy power fupply. I&#8217;m probally going to throw in an ATA controller as well so I don&#8217;t have to pick and choose among my hard drives, dvd roms, cd burners, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I need to get to sleep earlier if I am to be productive at work. Its a good job. They seem to like the work I&#8217;ve been doing so far. Tomorrow I&#8217;m leaving early to do more work on Tim&#8217;s robot, then its off to a Beth&#8217;s birthday party. Thursday, Bobby, Creighton, and I are going computer buying, then, presumably, computer building. Maybe on Thursday I&#8217;ll rebuild Kleinoscope as well, get it working up to snuff again with updated drivers and all that good stuff, then see if I want to keep it or go back to Mobius. Both are fine computers, but neither will be able to compare to the new guy, which I will have to come up with a name for here. Suggestions are welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve started intensive research into the new computer &#8211; it looks like it is the first project that will get completed.
