If I had purchased my computer from a store as it sits, it would have cost me around 2 grand. Letting some of the good people on here help me build it though, I paid around $800. Seriously, Clay, I'll likely never buy a desktop from a store again.
Ok, but seriously, what is the difference between 32 and 64 bit os's? I mean, what "bits" are we talking about? I remember that the nintendo was 8-bit, and the SNES was 16-bit, and the the N-64 was 64 bit....
...so, wtf?
Working in the industry, allow me to say that even if our energy prices went up by 75% all at once (Which the PUCO will NOT allow to happen) we would still be paying somewhere around 10% less than we were last year. The energy market is CRUSHED right now. If it weren't, I wouldn't be making nearly as much as I am.
