I need (or want?) a new computer…

We have an old AMD Duron 800mhz (overclocked to 1ghz) computer at home. It has 512 mb memory and a staggering 32mb legacy NVIDIA AGP video card.

The AMD processor only has 64kb of L2 cache, and this makes the computer crawl (as in really crawling). The video cards power is too low to properly run Adobe Photoshop (or any photo editing software). And the monitor we’re using (an old Giant Optics CRT monitor) is already busted (dimmed, and red laser is not working anymore).

I am planning to do some home business (photo editing/scanning/convertion, layout for greeting cards/invitation, typing jobs, etc.). But this computer hinders me to do things properly.

Problem is, as much as I would like to purchase a new system, I still don’t have the budget. Sometimes I did wish that someone would send me a new desktop a laptop (which is impossible).

Anyway, just thinking out loud.

Soli Deo Gloria.

If you liked this article, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.
