Hardware Wishlist

Wishlist February 20th, 2007 @ 2207h

Being the computer geek I am, it’s inevitable I still have some wants for my PC hardwares ;)

- Linksys WRT54GL: Oh yes, I need to get this soon. The lousy 2Wire is driving me crazy.

As for the rest, they are not “urgent” in a sense but they could be part of a new PC to be built in the coming one or two years. (With my monthly-accumulated [i.e. saved up month by month] NS salary perhaps; it’s still too early to say.)

- Some Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
- 200 GB SATA Drive - IDE drives are a thing of the past!
- hmm… nothing else for now.

Anyway, I’m thinking of building a 64 Bit PC next. 32 Bit is gradually being phased out anyway. If you were wondering about this bits thing, read this.

We need more of this, this, this and this kind of high-end PC manufacturers here.Goodness they allow you to customise your system to your heart’s content and one of my customisation ended up being USD 3878.
