Got my ‘new’ computer today. My old one, after 7 years, died. I was running a Athlon XP 2200, with 512mb of 133 RAM. I now have an Athlon 64×2 4400 running on 2G of 667 RAM. I was sad to see the old girl go, but this new machine is really fast, especially under Linux. Mandriva found everything correctly, and I didn’t even have to re-install the operating system. The new motherboard is nice, a combo of old and new. It has 2 IDE controllers, an AGP slot, but runs the latest dual core and faster memory. All in all, a nice way to save old hardware and have the latest. I was able to keep my hard drives, case, DVD-R, power supply, and case. So it looks like the old machine with a new heart but old soul.
