I got two free computers, this is very exciting.

Now I have four children.

I don't know the specs just yet, but one of them is some sort of a celeron (same socket as p3 I'm guessing) and another one is some sort of P4 running around 1.6-1.7ghz. All come with towers. My dad picked them up at work cause they were thrown away since they were "defective". I tried the celeron one and it worked right away :dork: The P4 didn't have ram (the 256mb ddr stick was on the floor of the tower) and it has 2 ddr and 2 sdr ports, so I plugged in a 128mb sdr stick from the celeron and it the computer worked and even showed me win2000, although I have no password, thus can't access it :/

Anyway I'm too drunk right now to mess with computers, so tomorrow I'll take a 256mb ddr stick from my current computer and plug it into the p4 to see if it works. My dad also brought a P4 mobo, in its box, but I had a look at it and although it smells pretty new, I saw one leaked capacitor :/

I'll be back with news tomorrow.

I got the computers to work, yesterday I didn't put in the 256mb ddr stick all the way in cause I should not be working on something while under influence.

I put in my TNT2 32mb card into the P4, hopefully it will run Q3 well, meaning I'll be able to lan at home :D

Btw its a P4 1.6ghz. I'm thinking about overclocking it right now.

Nah I've already formatted it and threw both 30gigs into the p4 machine and installed winxp on it. 106fps timedemo in Q3 on a TNT2 btw, 800x600, picmip 0, 16bit color, high geometric detail, no blood/gibs.
