Thursday my computer crashed. I had to go out and buy a new one. I'll probably be getting it set up for the few days I left before my vacation and will post here as often as I can.

How old was the old computer?

Did you have backups?

This is a huge upgrade from his old computer, so it may take a while . . .

You forgot to tell them about the old computer skiing across the floor, Chet.

I built and have been updating/upgrading the old computer since about 2001. It was a 2.4 ghz, 762mb of ram, 3 internal harddrives with about 400gb of storage, running XP Pro.

The new computer is 2.4 ghz dual core, 4gb of memory, 500 gb SATA harddrive, running Vista Home Premium 64bit.

BIG Difference.

Good luck with the new computer and have fun with your brother, I know he will take real good care of you and show you all of the sites around town.Email us when you get there. Did they ever get all the bugs out of Vista yet? I was thinking about a new computer for the wife so she will leave mine alone. Anyway ya'll have a safe and good time together,
P.S.-----------get him to make us some new guitar/amp/effects gadgets :lol:

I'm sure I will be in good hands while I'm there.


This version (Home Premium 64bit) seems to be pretty stable. Issues I'm finding is software that will work on Vista 64bit. Even some Vista 32bit software won't work on it.
