Ha! I updated my system a little bit... if you want to call it that! Instead of my K6-2 350 Mhz processor, I now have a 400 Mhz K6-2 CPU installed. I also dropped in an extra 64MB of PC100 memory. With the new working fan, my CPU temp has dropped to a measley 40 degrees! Also, when I finished my brother's system, I realized he needed a modem. His old USR 56k modem was the awesome ISA version (Not a winmodem!). Guess what? His new motherboard doesn't have ISA slots, so he couldn't use it. Now I use it, connect faster, and he got my old modem (which was nice too, but a winmodem). Sometime in the next few days, I'll switch my power supply from an AT to an ATX. Also on the agenda is fixing my brother's old system. It's a Celeron 400Mhz system. Here's my brother's new specs:

CPUAMD XP 1700+ @ 1.45Ghz
Memory512MB PC2100 DDR [(2) 256MB modules]
Hard DiskWestern Digital 80GB
CD-RWXTasy 40x12x48 CD-RW drive

Monitor19" KDS .25mm dot pitch

Hopefully, I'll get down to the festival soon. I've been dying for a Gyro. There's a quote (ha ha) "I've been dying for a Gyro."
