My computer woes seem to be subsiding. I got my home computer back this afternoon. The replaced the motherboard, the hard drive and the power supply. While they had it open, I had them replace the 2.4 GHz Celeron with a 3.0 GHz full-fledged Pentium 4.
The new power supply fan is rather noisy and the system has the smell of cooking off new paint. But it IS quicker. It boots faster and programs load and run faster. One big advantage of the P4 over the Celeron is my 1GB of RAM now runs at 400 MHz instead of 266 MHz. In addition, the front side bus goes from 400 MHz to 800 MHz.
Best of all, I didn’t have to reload ANY software. It booted right up with everything intact.
It doesn’t get any better than that.
