Acer laptop, She's served us well.
I have an Acer Aspire... something or other which, as of February 10, 2010 has Windows 7 (Home and Student IIRC?), it's 32-bit, with IIRC 4 GB RAM or something, but only 2 GHz CPU thingy .... but my sister has a 64-bit Windows 7 Acer Aspire... whatever the number is with about 3 GB RAM (I forgot), but it's only like 1.2 GHz CPU.
This PC is Windows 7 Ultimate with 2 GB RAM, and a little over 2 GHz CPU? There's also yet another PC in our house that's sometimes so slow that a laggy online Brawl match would be considered "really smooth", but then a somewhat microscopic 225 MB of RAM with Windows XP SP1 (from 2002) ... which was then updated to SP2 (from 2004) and then SP3 (from 2008) would explain the "so-not-awesome speed". IIRC we got that something along the lines of late 2004. It was either October 18 or December 18 (somehow I swear it was October 18) ... we've had it for over 6 years, I'm sure of that. Although the very very very very first ever PC I got ever was bought around November 4, 2000... but I never actually knew about it until December 25, 2000 ... do you need to know why that is?
Windows Me was the OS, and by 2004 it was unbelievably slow, and really completely unstable. Just think what it'd be like now.
So, how unstable was it? Well, you've all (probably) heard of that thing where you completely wipe your harddrive off, and then re-install Windows (it's like you first got the PC and turned it on for the first time)? Well I did just that, did all the bits you do to install Windows, like maybe set up the username, password and crap, and before I even saw my desktop for the "first" time, it already had an error. An error, before it had even been used (technically). It's like buying a new computer, turning it on for the first time ever, and getting an error. There was a LOT of errors involving rundll32.ocx -- I don't know how many BSODs, but probably a few.
Anyway, eventually, I might get a nice PC with an i5 processor? Or should I get an i7?
