[Free PC]

Finally lugged the heavy PC back, I applied for half a day of leave just for this redemption. Took the train from Paya Lebar,thanks to a free ride from my colleague who was also on half-day leave,ALL the way to JE. JE Station does bring back some memories of 2003. Ah anyway hailed a cab and got my butt to the place of collection.

Ever since the age of LCDs, who gives a fark abt CRTs? Indeed hardly anyone will wanna lug a 10+KG bulky box all ard. In fact the 17" is heavier than the CPU. Collection was pretty fast tho, less than 10 min and everything was settled! I shld have asked the cab driver to wait for me instead of calling for another cab after the collection. I saw several people after they collected their compac laptops too.

Anyway went home, after settled down I set up the PC. It is not as low end as I thought. It comes with a 80GB HDD instead of a 40GB and it comes with ATI graphics board (some low end one) instead of a integrated Intel graphics chip. The CPU looks quite nice n sturdy. It's not that bad afterall! It is stil a P4 3.0Ghz, albeit it is not the latest performance king Core 2 Duo but it shld provide decent performance like normal office processing, surfing and simple games. The only thing it lacks is the RAM which is a new DDR2 RAM. It comes with a measly 256MB. Well with XP, it's better to have 512MB and above.

It is not a bad machine afterall, moving ard in XP seems pretty effortless.
