Something few people understand - ARCHITECTURE.

My Motorola 6800 can add 2+2 faster than my Intel Core 2 Duo can.

I don't use computers anymore - I fly the real thing. Cool

Infinite frame rate, low power consumption, and realistic experience. .

It was a joke.

I do fly gliders though. K-13, and more recently an exotic glass ship I can't remember the name of. Cry  Something foreign sounding. Cool  Looks a bit like a DG-100 (not very good at identifying gliders Embarrassed ).

Best regards,
Vulcan.

No!  I bought a PC from PC World for £370 then put a new PSU graphics card and CPU.  That alone cost about £300, but all together £670, quite a bit under a grand.  Here is my spec.
 
Am I missing something here?  Why buy a stock PC World PC and them rip out the GPU, PSU and CPU?  Why didn't you source the parts parts you wanted and get someone to build it for you?
 
I'm now beginning to understand why your latest driver detection programme problem is with you.  Do you have any idea what you are doing with PC's?

Because the computer was a very good deal, wich included a free monitor.  What's wrong with an upgrade about a year later!

Absolutely nothing wrong, it read as though you did it straight away.
