New PC!

Last week I purchased a new Desktop PC System for a budget price. My previous system was a "bitza" that I built in around 2003. The system finally packed it in 7-8 years later after a SOLID life, where it was definitely always ON, more than it was OFF.  It consisted the following:

• AMD Sempron 2600+ Processor (1.8Ghz)
• ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB Graphics Card
• Gigabyte Motherboard
• 1GB DDR 333mhz RAM
• 120GB SATA Western Digital HDD

My new system consists of the following:

• AMD FX-8150 8-Core Processor 3.6Ghz-4.1GHZ Turbo Core
• Gigabyte AM3+ 990FX Motherboard
• MSI (AMD) Radeon HD 6850 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card
• 1TB Hitachi SATA 3 HDD
• 500GB SATA HDD (previously owned)
• 8GB DDR3 1066MHZ RAM

So far, I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running on the 1TB HDD, with plans for Win7 or 8 to run on the 500GB HDD. The system has been running flawlessly so far and I am looking forward to seeing what I can do with it in the future. Hopefully it can withstand the punishment my old system loved so much.
