So last year before my birthday I got me PC parts and put em together.
Intel Q6600 G0 2.4GHz Quad Core processor
Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L motherboard
OCZ Platinum 2x1GB DDR2 800MHz CL4 RAM
Maxtor 500GB SATA II Hard Disk Drive 32MB cache
Samsung CD/DVD +/-RW Optical Drive
FailVidia 8400GS 512MB DDR2 (borrowed off a friend)
EZ-Cool 450W Power Supply (I don't even know who the hell they are)
Old School eMachines aluminium and plastic case weighs a tone and keeps things Toasty
So things to get:
New Graphics Card (Either a 4850 now or an upcoming ATi card compatible with DX11)
New Case, before things get a little too hot
A few fans?
New Heatsink would do too.
A cable to my TV >>

My uh... you have to be kidding me, right?
System: Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Ei-system
Intel(R) Celeron (R) M processor 2.60GHz
1.60 GHz, 480 MB of RAM
Graphics card is SiS Mirage Graphics
Those numbers mean nothing to me, so I hope they mean something to you. I do know that my screen resolution is 1024x768 at maximum, refresh rate 60Hz. It won't tell me anything about my sound card or motherboard.
It's a laptop. The touchpad works about 1/5 times when I load the thing up; the keyboard works 19/20 times. Two out of four of the USB ports work - that's just enough for the external wireless adaptor and a replacement mouse, but not enough for a memory stick at the same time. The body work is cracked in six places, three of them significant, and the DVD drive doesn't work - it mostly won't open, let alone read anything. It has a total of five screws missing and a further five that have been replaced, one of which is rattling around inside the body-work, out of a total of twenty (external) screws.
I love it to pieces. Probably, eventually, literally.

After reading that description, I can only theorise that your laptop is held together in one piece by the force of pure evil.

After reading that description, I can only theorise that your laptop is held together in one piece by the force of pure evil. Sheer faith. My laptop is kin to Discworld-style gods; if I stop believing in it, it will fall apart. This leads to such ridiculous rituals as spinning around three times chanting "I believe in laptops" before I go to bed. And, by complete coincidence, I just had my bi-yearly BSOD. |

The story of your laptop will be legend. Edit: I'm sorry but I have to ask for pics. |
