Old Computers

23 May 2007

So I have three older PCs that I’m not sure what to do with… 1 AMD Sempron 3100+ with a gig of Ram, 256MB of Video Memory, so it’s a pretty good machine… 1 1.9Ghz Pentium 4, 512MB of RAM, 128MB of Video Memory, and an old P2-400 with 384MBs of RAM… I’m not sure what to do with any of these… so if anybody has any idea, I’d appreciate it…

I’m thinking I could use the Sempron for a Windows Home Server and test it for backups and the like… Possibly use the 1.9GHz for a security gateway… since I’m going to divide my network into two segments, Public and Private… but we’ll see… I may just lock down the wireless…

Phone versus Tablet

17 May 2007

So I’m debating on buying a new phone, or an Internet Tablet. The features I’m looking for in either are:

1. Full Featured Internet Web Browser

2. Wireless 802.11B/G built in.

3. RSS Reader

4. Chat Client (for AIM, ICQ, GTalk, Yahoo, MSN)

If I get a phone, I’d want the ability to have customized ringtones for each person. So I’m not sure what else I’d want to get in a device. The two items I’m looking at are both from Nokia.

For a phone, it’d be the Nokia N95. As for an Internet Tablet, I’d get the Nokia N800. The price difference is about $350. $750 for the Phone, and $400 for the Internet Tablet.

Whichever I decide, I’ll end up getting it probably in late June. Which doesn’t rule out the iPhone, but I really don’t want to have to sign another 2 year contract with Cingular/AT&T.

Anybody have any thoughts?
