On Saturday, I got a new computer when I was home. It's a 2.2 GHz AMD 64 system with 1 GB RAM, 250 MB 7200 rpm hard drive, DVD+-RW and CD drives, a 9 in 1 memory card reader, ATI Xpress 200 and Windows XP Media Center Edition. I plan on putting in another hard drive to put Linux on with an kernal and other stuff compiled for AMD 64.
I couldn't get it to get online at RIT after I got it registered. I went to Resnet for help. It turned out that the Norton security software was rigged to block Internet access until the software was set up. Now that had been fixed. Now I love the system.

I didn't build it, it's a Compaq system I bought at BestBuy.
I plan on having stuff like Celestia in both Windows and Linux, with gigabytes of addons duplicated across platforms. So I thought it would be a good idea to get another hard drive. I also won't need to wait forever for the parititioning and wonder if it would corrupt anything. On my laptop, the paritition program became unable to adjust the size of the ntfs paritition because it said it found some errors. I'd avoid that problem if I got another hard drive.
My DVD burner can do double layered discs as well as LightScribe.
