Upgrade diary: Compaq Presario 7360

Dave: Thanks for not saying I'm nuts. ;)

The computer has already been upgraded with a Pacific Digital CDRW and the (dead) original 40x CDROM has been replaced with an ASUS 52x CDROM. The multimedia keyboard and optical mouse are brand-new Logitech units, and the 17" Hansol CRT monitor is in excellent shape, with no burn-in at all. Just that the processor and MOBO are having a hard time keeping up with new software apps and also my new all-in-one PSC unit is stressing the comp. in it;s current configuration.

New Dell P4 is on the way to be used as the primary computer.

So, I figure if I upgrade the innards and retain my optical drives and peripherals, I'll have a decent 2nd computer for the kids to do homework and net research with.

Oh yeah, I got a buttload of software for it too, Win XP etc. Would be a shame to use it as a doorstop or give it away for 10 cents on the dollar.

Besides, I want to learn how to build/rebuild a PC as a learning exercise and satisfy my inner tinkerer.

Plus, I'll probably network them for internet access and share the Epson PSC between the two boxes.

Thanks for listening!
