The I.T. Life

So, I’m debating building a new kick ass PC (instead of thorwing money into that server). This wouldn’t be a budget system by any means, but it wouldn’t be a hard core system either. My goal is a quad core processor, 4gb of ddr2, and either a 1gb graphics card, or 2×512mb cards. I am [...]
