interim report is due next week...but i dunnoe wad to write! cant help by the fact dat i cant believe dat i spend so much of my youth on that god damn piece of LCD display.
Upgrading to a more powerful chip, but den it wouldnt work. Reminds me of the error in which Windows 95 will not work on PC faster than 2.2Ghz due to timing error in which during the 90s, this problem was not discovered as technology was a bit"limited" at that point of time. A little triva if you all didnt know:
-Windows 95 was released in 1995 together in CDs and diskettes (cant rmb, is in about 30 diskette)
-Windows 95 will not support harddisk larger than 32GB
-If you try to be funny and run Windows 95 your quad-core, dual-core or dunnoe how many core computer, it will only make use of a core (so, a dual core performance will limited by the OS)
- Windows 95 will not work if RAM exceed 1GB (if u dint noe, Windows 98 and Windows ME also have the same problem. a solution is on Microsoft support website for a workaround though (but very troublesome))
- Minimum RAM requirement for Windows 95 is 4MB RAM, but Microsoft recommends 8MB RAM for smooth performance (While for Vista, minimum is 1GB RAM and recommended is 2GB RAM)
-Only Windows 95B CD (a later edition) comes with USB support (cant imagine now everything is USB right? but only slightly a decade ago, USB was just introduced and working like so slow, USB 1.0)
- Windows 95 marked the new standard of 32-bit computing (previously all was 16-bit, which is less powerful)
oh well....Windows 95 brought many joys and pain to me. The OS is not build on Windows NT platform (same goes for Windows 98 and ME), so it is more prone to crashes (pple who complain XP and Vista always crash, think abt it again.....seriously....) NO system restore means once it is done, dats it! I rmb, recovery disk was like, 30 diskette??????????? That time i young, also dun really noe how to do recovery......
Joy?.....hmm...my first computer is on Windows 95, so....of course, got games to play....fiddle around (until my mum got fed up of me spoiling it and screwing it up and forbid me to play with computer unless i asked for permission). My first desktop is Acer, if i nvr rmb wrongly, the specs is below:
Intel Pentium processor 75 MHz (VS the true dual core AMD 2.4GHz( 2400mhZ) 64 Athlon x2 that i have)
8MB of RAM
1.2GB of harddisk
2 USB 1.0 port (well i dint even noe USB existed that time), mouse and keyboard use p/s 2 type
15 inch CRT monitor
4X CD ROM drve (52x for CD drive speed nowadays)
all these for $2999.....
yes....prices are dropping like mad!
so i always say, pple, be fortunate we dun hav to live in the Windows 95 era u noe...... hehe...

found this video on youtube...
a mitsubishi evo 8 MR can actually make a Lamborghini Murcielago sweat while chasing and turning corners!
An Evo 8 cost much lesser, less power than Murcielago, a 4 door car as compared to 2 door Murcielago, and less powerful than a Murcielago...and yet can make that car sweat!...
well this also teaches us that in life, not everything that looks good, that is powerful, fast, means will win. I think this will also teach us not to give up even though if u are lagging behind =)
lol, anyway, school is starting tmr....last semester already.....well...........
