Amanda's Back!

My AMD Goddess has been resurrected with more memory, a new hard drive and and a copy of Window 7.  It's looks like everything has final taken and that pesky Blue Screen of Death has taken a holiday.  I do realize that Amanda may be on her last legs here.  I don't think her motherboard is design with 2 GB DIMMs or higher.  That limits her to 4 GB of Ram. Only 2.75 GB of that is usable now, due to issues we have already talked about.  Amanda does seems to be happier in the 64 bit world.   The whole project was only $250, about fifty dollar shy of my first estimate, so it's all good.

Parts list:
1.  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade

2. Western Digital 500 GB Caviar Black SATA 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD5001AALS

3. Axiom - Memory - 1 GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR2 - 400 MHz / PC2-3200 - CL3 - 1.8 V - registered - ECC
