Woke up early on Tuesday morning and went down with my father to this uber ulu warehouse in Jurong to pick up the computer. There was quite a few people there, but processing was fast; in 15 minutes the PC was already in my hands.
Went home, unpacked, and set up the new computer immediately. I have read enough to know what to expect.
The first thing I did was to delete the thirty HP 30-day-trial games that came with it. Because I don't like it taking up my hard disk space.
I also deleted the Norton Internet Security, because it can only be used for 60 days before renew-ing is required. I have heard alot of how Norton products love to crash computers. Being a support for free software, I downloaded avast. Haha.
I was tempted to delete all the HP-Compaq related software, but I decided to leave them there for a while.
Changed the background too.
After using Linux for the past few months, I am now back using Windows. I downloaded IE7 and Live Messenger. Both are ok, although IE7 is not much different from Firefox.
Last, GAMES!
So far I have only installed one game - Command and Conquer Generals. Tested in on a full-blown 1024x768 High details, and there is a very slight lag. Ran it at 800x600 and it was smooth. Have been playing that since. Haha.
Of course playing with/against the AI will not be enough to stop me from blogging. I have download Hamachi, a LAN-over-Internet application. With this I can play with my friends, which is what I have been doing the past 2 days, besides working. Haha.
Have not tried the other games, because I have not thought of how to bring those 4GB g@m3 150s (heh) from the old comp to the new one.
Will post up some pictures next time, I'm lazy to install the Bluetooth dongle now. Haha.
