i can feel it dying

My PC at home is going kaput again. Despite the 256 ram I recently bought and installed, I can still feel it drawing every breath possible just to boot up. It takes ten million years before it actually brings me to the desktop. It's a kind of frustration that is absolutely undescribable. Oh and especially when I want to update Eliot? Opening iTunes is such a chore! When I had it reformatted last year, the smart-ass tech person placed Windows in my 10G HD instead of my 20G one. Such a fist-clencher.

Now here comes the hard part. I know I need to reformat it and have Windows in its rightful place. I know I need to back-up every last bit of what I currently have on my hard drive. That's a gazillion songs, photos and fonts. Moreover, I think I've lost some hardware drivers.

Gaaah.

Windows is fine provided you keep malwares out, like updated anti-virus and anti-adwares. Use bittorrent instead ok Kazaa and the likes. You can optimize the boot-up of Windows by removing those programs that load on start-up. As for RAM, the more the better. For me, 512 MB is the standard for home use. For I.T. guys like me, I prefer 1 GB of RAM (RAM is cheap today). Better yet, ditch Windows and install Linux, he he he.

Btw, apester I used to go with the nick x86 on PhilMUG's forum and I was flamed for that. Guess what, Macs are using Intel processors today :)

Avoid visiting blogs with audio/video or you'll be stucked in the aerie for life.

apester: hahaha. sorry dude, i'm a PC girl. it's so frustrating for me to even try to use a mac.

qroon: and for me to do all that, i think i need to reformat first... which is the primary barrier of this very, very tamad girl.

K: i'm just going to end up paying someone to do all this... hehe. tamad talaga!
