Cogitations by Brad

I just bought my new laptop a couple of months ago, but there’s some things I need to do first.

The 40GB Hard Drive isn’t going to work for long. I do have a hard drive my brother had that he couldn’t use, but unfortunately, I really need to have windows to where I can dual boot it with Ubuntu. I don’t have a copy of windows lying around (XP would do). They should make a Priceless Edition. I have a product key on the bottom of the laptop for XP Tablet Edition, but I’d have to pay $40 to get it from Toshiba.

I also need RAM. It’s got a 512MB Stick, but, boy, does it get slow when I have 15 windows open when I’m at work.

Maybe I’ll go get some RAM in the next couple of days.

Edit: 1.5 GB > 512 MB. I got an upgrade in RAM, and the difference looks amazing so far. I’ll have to run it for a while to know for sure, but loading the O/S seems slightly faster, and web-browsing seems better as well.

I finally have a fully working computer. After spending two weeks ordering a video card, sending it back because it wasn’t compatible, and ordering another video card, it’s finally complete. The via driver that was used by my computer was buggy and would freeze the whole computer with any attempt to use 3D. Now for that second monitor…
