I still have a IBM model 80 from around 1990, it was a huge machine it its days! 160Mb harddisk and 4 Mb internal memory! When I power it up it really comes alive. It always sounds like the harddisk needs to scrape the top layer off :icon_lol:. However some games, which only run on this dinosaur, are quite interesting and it is amazing what people could program in only a few bytes.

My newest machine is around 2 years old:
Intel core i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20 Ghz
6Gb Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX480
Windows 7 Home Premium edition SP1

Computers are like cameras, they get old quite fast, but are too expensive to throw away!

Cheers,
Huub

I know, but since you're an admitted Marine, what would the posts be without some inter-service rivalry. :icon_lol:

What are you going to do with 32 gigs of ram in a laptop? I struggle to use 8, even at work (IT) when I have literally 30 windows open. :isadizzy:

It's an Alienware, came with it. Just means will be sometime before any upgrades are needed. It was honestly a killer deal I received from Dell for them sending me my original build without a video card, 16 gigs of more RAM, bigger & better HDD (750GB Hybrid vs just a 500GB) plus a i7 3820 instead of the ordered i7 3680. Additionally got all for $1500 after they refunded an additional $450. Killer deal and will never bad mouth Dell again, at least till my next build.

Guess the good part is you can run FSX on 7 other virtual machines at the same time while you're flying on your main one. :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Have fun with that thing!
 
Sold a couple of my Bikes and re-invested some of the profits in a ground up build. :icon_eek:
It was worth it!!!!!
