my geeky project
Aug. 23rd, 2003 09:33 pmThis is the project I've been semi-secretly working on.
For people who like numbers and models, it's a Shuttle SN45G with an Athlon XP 3000+ (2.1GHz) CPU. It's got a 400MHz CPU bus and a 400MHz memory bus. It's got 1GB PC3200 RAM. It's got a 120GB hard disk and some kind of generic DVD-ROM drive. It's also got a Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB 8xAGP card and a wireless card. I then take all this crap and run Windows XP on it, so I can play video games. And, uh, that's it. Should play Half-Life 2 and Thief III and all those real good, once they ship.
To paraphrase: "I wish I could say this was the geekiest thing I'd done. Today."
