It's getting late...

When I figured out he overwrote my Win 7 drive from Emily before condemning her and installing another 10 for another large Thermaltake case marked Asus I took Alison's drive out and let him find another power supply. I can't lose some data and programs like that if I haven't had the time to back it up...Emily was good while she lasted, but I suspect he's just calling stuff junk trying to be nice. I've known him for years and had to remind him that a lot of this 'junk' came from him...

Anyway, this one is named Mandi. Alison, Valerie and Sandi need help and then I might likely be done with this stuff for a while.

Turns out I just slightly unseated a couple of the DIMMs when I when to put the door back on too hard. Endora is still vexing Durwood.

Okay, these are the specs for Mandi, some stuff may not work...

OKAY, found a Crackerjack surprise in the bottom of the case, will check it out in the morning.

I have another Dell XPS 420 ready to connect, OEM Windows 7 named Samantha (of course, Endora's daughter).

And like the song Mandy, SHE came and she gave without taking but I took half her RAM away (because I needed another PC2-1066 2GB to set the Dell up). Now I have some setup to do. But I really need to find one more matching DIMM, all I had left offhand was 3 PC 800s.

These beasts are HEAVY! The layout is almost exactly like a Dimension 3100/E310 (in other words, like Emily was) and a little more refined.

I have to swap monitors here, this one is all DVI and the second monitor is VGA. Back in a bit.

...back but I forgot a mounting post is missing and everything is green and purple again...DRAT. gotta fix that.

Welcome to Samamtha. No Darrin or Tabitha.

Seriously, anybody have one of those DIMMs? I only had three, need one more.

 

[mlucitt]

I have two 1GB DDR-II 667MHz DIMMs. They were used when the Declaration of Independence was written. Make me an offer...

 

[orange]

I've got 800s and a few 667s as well, I have 3 of those 1066 DIMMs and need a fourth to keep Mandi and Samantha up together, a friend is also looking locally.

I reinstalled FF and I think that fixed the browser freezing problem, we'll see.

 

[orange]

Nope, could be a bad DIMM but it's mostly FF running six instances and getting up to 2 GB on one with only 4 GB RAM. I cut the E10 instances to 2 but that's a crock, still sucks RAM like a two bit floozy.

Back to Mandi the DIMM goes and W10. That one works.

 

[orange]

Well, FF has just updated to 67.0.4 and it's getting to be less rare that they slap that many updates on the base version in such a short time. MEH.

 

[mlucitt]

Exactly why I switched over to Chrome. I think there was a big turnover in the software coding shop, and it shows. Multiple updates to fix mistakes in the new version is not how it is supposed to work.

 

[orange]

Chrome is for bumpers. I'm not about to use Sedge or Internet Exploder anymore.

 

[orange]

Gawd, I should have learned COBOL and FORTRAN.

 

[mlucitt]

Use what you want. I just want something that works!

 

[orange]

Dill pickle chips, and a 2GB PC2 1066 DIMM couldn't hurt.

 

[orange]

Actually I just found out yesterday that an Asus P5GC-UX 1333 will run PC2 533/667/800 just fine but there are only 2 DIMM slots so with Windows 10 you need at least 3 GB in 32 bit but really need two 2 GB DIMMs in there. Boy, that's older than I figured.

All the PC2-1066 went to Samantha, the other XPS 420 and of course Endora's daughter which is running Win 7 vs. her mother's 10.

By the way, if you want to weight train, skip barbells and use Dells.

 

[orange]

I'm gonna have to either find a new video card for Wylla or else it's that monitor. Still green and purple for VGA.

 

[orange]

And it's the card. SUX.
