New things since i quit building

[diurnal]

OK new stuff on the PC front(FOR ME).

SATA 2 , PCI-e x1 x4, PCI-e x16, DDR2 5,00000(this will never end on the RAM stuff, why can't they have a standard format---you know pc133, pc100 :( ?), socket AM2 (ohh and socket AM2+ - you know you can't leave that + out).

Oh I miss my AGP. I found that AGP is about the same speed as PCI-express. Go figure! Once you upgrade one thing, then go ahead and upgrade every piece of equipment. Just seems that these new formats are just trying to get your money.

Well, guess the new guys here can teach me. I'm in desperate need! :D
