yay!
I'm logged in via my new (and actually working) workstation! It's only taken me the last hour to get Windows installed and my wireless adapter working correctly, but all seems good now. Apparently the MOBO had an external antenna to plug in. I thought that was just for show. I mean, if my phone can do it... But here we are. I'm online and running updates for a very CLEAN pc. In fact, I don't even have Office on here yet. Things look kind of bare at the moment.
System shows my processor, all the ram, and I even learned how to partition my drive during the OS install. I'm still shocked by how QUIET this thing is. I mean, I'm typing here on a website through the PC but I keep glancing at the case to see if the lights are even on. It's that quiet. Very impressive, that.
As noted before, there's no graphics card installed. I did google prices and ...screw that! Geez, people! I could buy a nice guitar for the price of one of those! So that just leaves a secondary SSD drive which, btw, has recently gone up in price =\ I guess retail just ain't retail anymore now that prices fluctuate like a damn stock trade.
Other than that, I guess most everything is done short of a few primary app installations. So, I need to reboot as I see several updates are bottlenecked waiting for me to stop typing here.
Gnite, all. At least until I get on my phone.
