@xboxdevil, don't worry, later on i'll post a new pic of where i'm always sat, it should make you feel better.
for one i always have to sit on the floor, which for the amount of time i spend on PC/Afterdawn, is a killer on the knees/back/neck (neck's been real bad for 2 day now but i digress).
the other reason is i now have my spare PC setup purely for the internet and it's erm, old. it's a Celeron 466 but can't remember if it's a P2 or P3

creaky, it is a p3 466 celeron as the p2 stops at 450 & p3 starts at 450mhz so can have a p2 450 or a p3 450. same happens with p1 233 & p2 233.

teach and learn!.
not really; i know buddy, i'm just so forgetful. i'm sat in front of it now and you're quite right, it's gotta be a P3. takes forever to start up however once it's booted, XP is a joy to use, i use this PC for all my afterdawning and with FireFox i have like 30 tabe open causing mayhem :)

hey creaky is it true that the older athalon chips burn out.and is it also true that when you first connect with windows xp you get a low risk virus????

not sure about the newer Athlon's but i know mine would take a very few seconds to catch fire if it's fan packed up (there's a scary video clip out there somewhere, where a pc was booted with no fan/heatsink on the AMD chip and it caught fire within a very few seconds - nearly put me off buying one as i don't want to sink!).
as to viruses, all OS'es are vulnerable. Linux/Unix OS'es are s'posed to be more secure but ppl always argue that Windows is only less secure due to it's popularity (ie more ppl hack Windows as it's the most commonly used OS, but i'm not sure i suscribe to that point of view).. just make sure you have a decnt anti-virus package and keep it updated (i use Mcafee and i get new updates virtually every day).

I couldnt agree more. The best thing you can possibly do, no matter what OS you are running, is have a firewall and AV running before you connect for the first time. Then, as soon as you connect, check for updates on both.
As for Athlons, I run an old overclocked 1800+ (running @ about 1.9Ghz) and it does run warm. This is because they are overclocked to some degreee by design. As long as you have good enough cooling tho there is little to worry about.

that little screen is netmeter - fantastic little (free) proggy that displays network bandwidth, and it's semi-transparent so you can have it running all the time.
no cushion as i'd tidied up, but if you look carefully bottom left you'll see my knee (grey trousers). - as the boat only's 6ft wide i'm leaning back on the sofa to take the pic, though the sofa's a little too far from the screen otherwise i could use pc in comfort. ugh looks like i need a new mousemat. and the gamecube can't stay up there as the cat will have that over, he's always helping me do Nero logs as you can tell from my spelling (and content!) :)
as to Verbs, yup, that's just a couple of them, have a tall pile of tubs next to tv but the majority have to live in the back in an old tall computer case that acts as a shelf

@ creaky looks like you got an ok setup there.i noticed all the old games and consoles looks like you got an old nintendo,sega and is that a ps1 in the top right.nice setup but it looks a bit cramped.as for sitting on the floor you should get a bean bag that would be better to sit on.
