Welp, It's that magical time again. Yup, you guessed it -- post time. Anyway, updates about yesterday. As soon as I got home from school I called up Computers Plus to see of they had a processor I wanted. Now, I wanted something between 1.1 and 1.3 ghz, and either Anthon or Duron. Unfortunatly, all they have are 900 Durons. "Penis", I say to myself. I look through the phone book of computer places, and notice a place -- Ashton Computers. Now, Ive never bought from them before, but I know a guy that works there, really cool guy. He happens to answer the phone when I call and he says he has ONE 1300 Duron left. I quickly bolt over there (infact, its really close to my house), and I purchase the processor. I then get home, and package the thing and proceed to install it in my motherboard. Everything looks good, I got a voodoo3 in, a 128 meg stick, and the processor is in right, it even has 100mhz selected as the FSB. I power it up -- nothing. "Fucking shit", I said to myself. I spend about an hour on it trying to get it to POST. Nothing at all. Then I remember something. I jump back online and I head over to my motherboard website and check the BIOS updates. Sure enough, there it is. Apparently, the board doesnt like to "see" 1300 Durons, causing it not to boot. I need to take it to school and use a slower Duron, then I can flash the BIOS on the Motherboard, and my Duron will work. Kinda ironic, isnt it. I spend all this time finding a good processor for my machine and I cant even use it for another day. After this works, the machine is basically complete. I just needa get a better video card and some more ram. When it is finished, ill post full computer specs.
