After rebuilding Gibbons earlier this month, I’ve done a lot of work to improve it; with a radically faster motherboard, radically faster drives, it’s been great. But I still only have 512 MB of RAM.
After next payday I’m investigating obtaining 2 GB of DDR400 RAM for the machine. I’ll go dual-channel and everything with it; that should really be the final step in enhancing this box’s performance. I might also get a floppy drive with a black bezel. The white’s starting to annoy me now. :P I probably should look into USB ports for the front, as well, if not a full-fledged USB hub of some kind. I’m always running out of ports (I only have 4, which is a little lousy).
Discussion of Expected Gibbons upgrades for next month is now closed
Can you give me it?
I’ve got 11 USB ports and only use three. I’m about to buy two 320gb HDDs for mine, and with 1080gb total, I’ll have enough.
