Dolly Duo

About 12 months ago the urge for power overcame and after a crafty period of negotiation with my domestic accountant I laid down about $900 for new bits and pieces and built my current desktop machine. In usually frugal manner I chose components that were in that middle-of-the-road sweet spot, not bleeding edge, not old school, and ended up with a Core-2-Duo, 2GB of RAM all mounted on a new ASUS motherboard in one of my old ATX cases.

Here's some detailed guff on the h/w setup:

ASUS P5K-SE motherboard

The GA-7N400
