It’s official, my desktop PC sucks.  Haha, well that’s a bit harsh (actually with my shotty USB and poor ability to deal with newer hardware, perhaps it’s not).  It’s obsolete at least.  My recognition of this did not come in the fact that it can’t run any new games, or watch some high def video that someone ripped or recorded.  I mean it worked fine for everything else, all the regular things.  The official declaration came today as it started failing with the web.  What happened was that I was watching this YouTube video and saw for the first time that YouTube has publicly started linking HD video, which I noticed by the “watch in HD” link underneath that video.  Tried to watch it……… I mean… it’s watchable I GUESS… pretty terrible frame rate though.

Most parts donated via anon98, the is ye ol’ Athlon XP 2400, still sittin’ on 512mb of RAM!  I love how it costs way more to buy another 512mb of this old RAM than to buy 4gb of new RAM.  The very best component in this machine is the trusty ol’ SoundBlaster Live! (one of my components)… don’t be getting rid of those PCI slots completely please!!
