Hahaha! Sounds not bad huh? but not completely what I needed:
1. Windows XP Home edition. What I needed is Professional Edition.
2. DVD Player. Player only? Not even CD burner? As predicted, gonna save money for a DVD burner. $100-150 ba...
3. Built-in speaker. Not so bad. But not the quality I want. Maybe I'll buy speaker the last.
4. Wired Keyboard and mouse. I think I'll buy a Wireless keyboard with mouse. think it'll cost about $50-70?
5. 512 DDR2 RAM. Not enough for me! I think I'll need at least 1GB now for Vista.
6. Not Vista compatible? Sian 1/2...
Some things I like:
1. ADSL2+ Wireless modem (2WIRE 2700HG-D). WOW! new one! bye bye to my 2WIRE 1800G!
2. 6 USB Jack. Ya, 4 behind for hardwares, 2 infront for fast usage. Thats more like it!
3. 15" LCD Monitor. Ya, its big. luckily I nvr change to 17". haha!
4. NDIVIA GeForce 6100 Integrated Graphic - Nice for gaming!
So, started trying out the system from 8pm. Really dont like it. Home edition just suxs! Cannot use IIS. Sian 1/2. So, made the final decision to format it. Very risky. Cos I nvr reformat a IBM PC b4. Got so used with Acer and Fujitsu. IBM system is so much different. Btw, they don't give Recovery CD de?!?! Sian 1/2 again. Luckily I know I'll be able to get the drivers from the IBM support n download site. But still, the site is so confusing. A60 got so many different types! haiz...
Finally managed to format to Professional Edition. Hehe! Got the RP copy... keke! Original de hor! Shiok man! Tats the best part when I help IT helpdesk in yr 1. I can 'kat-bot' lots of softwares. hehehe!
Used lots of time to figure out how to get the sound card work. Stupid HDA Audio bus Driver. My install that 1st b4 can install sound card driver. IBM never say in their site lor! Have to go to forums to find out how. Clever me! keke!
Finish installing everything at about 12am. wah... 4hrs sia! I reformat my Fujitsu laptop only takes about 1.5hrs. Now my PC is officially operational! YES~! Can do lots of things with it le! Can dl anime like siao!
Now messing up with some software I always uses. I know Im tired but Im too excited also. Don't know what time i'll sleep... keke!
