    Save The Geeks - adept's Report

    As some of you may have noticed, I'm currently shopping for some new hardware to upgrade my personal system into the AthlonXP world.

    I've sold off some older laptops I had lying around which weren't crucial to me, and can modestly invest for a system with more "bang".

    So I've requested that I be removed from the current "needy geek" status at Save The Geeks and would like to report the following.

    ===============================

    I think I've got a proper inventory of everything I've received through Save The Geeks and otherwise.

    Here goes:

    From Garak:
    • ECS D6VAA motherboard (dual CPU capable)
    • Celeron 700 CPU


    I'm especially touched by Garak's gesture as I know that he could have still profited from these parts - and probably could have used the money too. Thanks to my overseas friend.

    From DocPC:
    • Radeon 7000/VE 32Mb DDR (W00t!)
    • 2x ATI Rage Pro (1 Turbo) AGP graphics cards
    • Sound Blaster PCI512
    • Sound Blaster PCI128
    • 3Com 3C905b-TX NIC
    • 2x Sound Blaster microphones
    • 2x power cords


    I hope I'm not forgetting anything, DocPC! Please correct me if I did - I just lost track of my hardware when my wife cleaned our office, as I never got around to doing it myself.

    DocPC was the first, and only WinDrivers member so far, who contributed directly through Save the Geeks.


    ===============================


    Thank you all, not only for the donations, but especially for your participation, involvement, and sympathy.

    I think I might have either a slot 1 PII 300 or a celeron 266 that I don't need...I'll have to dig around through the old spare parts box.


    *edit*

    I guess I could have just pulled out the box and looked before posting...I do have an extra processor sitting around, it's a PII 266 but I don't have a fan for it.

    Mr. Parts gatherer, please add it to your list.

    Hmmm.....don't know about anyone else, but I'd almost be willing to go buy a board to test it.

    You want some of this? Huh?

    You want a piece of me?

    Can't wait to get UT2003 afterwards, just to see if it will replace Q3 as my fav.
