You were responding to Roy Berube, who stated this:
"Just last week when I was in a computer shop buying the latest and greatest
parts, they had people buying tnt2 cards and the slowest duron available.
And these are then the kind of people who complain about software running
poorly. Makes you want to scream don't it."
And because I'm the one complaining here, he must have been talking about me
(it seemed that way anyway). And then you went on about that, saying that
many people primarily consider the price tag when they buy hardware. This is
not the case here. The system (that belongs to a friend) was built with
quality in mind, and also the price tag of course, but to a lesser extent.
For instance, it's got Crucial CAS2 memory, instead of some cheap no-name
DIMMs.
But never mind, enough said about this.
