Thread: Computer question

That PC of yours is about the same vintage of my old one. The hard drive got so corrupted that nothing I did fixed it - so I built a new computer in December with a little (LOTS!!) of help from my friends here - Denny, mostly. With a couple of aches and pains, it is working so much better then the old one. It will start and I can be on line in about a minute. The final cost, using premium parts and even with a new 19" monitor, a sound card and a graphics card was about $700. The sound and graphics cards were actually not needed as the new motherboard had integrated versions. When I was done with the new one, I 'fixed' the old Dell with a new $60 Western Digital Caviar 80 GB hard drive, reloaded XP plus a few other programs and gave it to my daughter in Virginia. She is now on line with it and says that it is very fast and working great. I would imagine the cat scan took care of any mouse problems but not hairballs in the hard drive
