Very nice, Ana. I've been spec'ing out my own system on ecollege. It may not cost as much as I thought. . Time will tell. Good luck.

Wonderful setup! I love that you have the sunset picture on the wall - I've always loved that picture. I will be curious to see what you think of all the spiffy new speedy hardware and how it handles gaming.

Nice looking setup.. and I am impressed... you work standing up. :-)

Too funny Winfrey.

It appears that I will be another one biting the bullet. My old pc is caput, so Drac I will be getting in touch with you again. Meanwhile I will go back and check out the spec on Ana's.

Did you take it in to the PC repair shop yet?

Well..............the guy didn't show up today. He had good reviews! I got in touch with another guy and he said that it was the graphics card and would run about 150/200.00 but I told him I had replaced it. He asked for model info and told me it wasn't worth fixing. I do agree, just didn't want to have to buy anything so close to Christmas. I am still curious what's wrong with it.
Gotta go, hair appointment.

Sharon, I hope you can get the one you want within your price range.

Drac, I have my favorite photos made onto canvas. That one is relaxing for me if I get stressed. I just look up and feel better.
So far, it actually seems the same as the one I had. I am sure I will notice more when I play something more graphic intensive.

Winfrey, Actually I put the exercise bike in front of it and ride. Just kidding!

Terri, good luck on your computer!

Great that you are up and running with your newie, BrownEyedTigre !! And thanks for the piccie

Hello B.E.T.
I have good news and bad news.
The good news is thats a nice setup.
The bad news is,I notice you are using the Linksys modem-router setup which is what I was using. If you have a comcast isp sooner or later you will be getting a letter telling you to upgrade your equipment to a series 3 because they are upgrading will no longer be compatable with the old series 1 equipment which those linksys boxes are. I guess they are working their way around the country upgrading the isp to a faster speed.If you dont have comcast Im not sure what will happen.Probably all isp's will be doing that in the future.

Bummer Geo. I am indeed using linksys and I have Comcast. I don't have any emails yet but I will keep an eye out. Another expense I did not need.

Thanks for the info!

Do not dispair B.E.T.
When you do the switch you will be amazed at the increase in speed. You will be happy!
The series 3 boxes are very reasonable. I think I got the Motorola for under $90.
-----------------------------------------
The more correct terms are Docsis 1.0 as the old specs. and Docsis 3.0 as the new faster specs.It is my understanding the Docsis 3.0 are backward compatable.

THat's good news Geo! Thanks. I'll have hubby keep an eye out for a deal from his suppliers, maybe we can be ready when it happens then.
