New Computer

Well i have been having fun reinstalling many program`s into my new Dell xps-400.OS is windows XP media center edition and It`s got a pentium d 820 2.8 ghz w/dual core technology,2GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533 mhz f/s bus,80GB HD & 19`` flat panel display with a 3.5 flopy drive & 256MB ATI hyper memory X16 (DVI/VGA/TV out Radion X600SE and all the other goodies.I just put in another 128 (total 256mb) mb ram in my dell xps-450 (which i bought new in july of 1999 and never a problem) and ethernet card and have them networked with a linksys 802.11g wireless 4 port broadband router.This all makes for a much improved atmosphere in my home office/hamshack.
