Yay! I ordered a new computer to replace my five-year-old IBM ThinkPad T42~!

It's a fairly good setup that I ordered for the price. It's an HP Pavilion p6500z Desktop and here's the specs:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
AMD Athlon II 245 Dual-Core Processor (2.9GHz, 2MB L2, 4000MHz bus)
3GB DDR3 - 1066MHz SDRAM (2 DIMMS) (not a lot, but there are expansion slots so I can add more later)
320GB 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive
512MB ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics Card (DVI, HDMI, VGA)
LightScribe 16X DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti Drive

I also scored an HP all-in-one printer/scanner/copier for $35 with it, so that was a bonus. The whole package was only about $650. For those noticing the lack of a monitor, I've already purchased an Acer 18.5" widescreen LCD.

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked about this, considering my laptop has an ancient ATI Radeon 9600 card and only 1.25GB of memory, plus a single core 1.7GHz processor. I can't wait to start messing around with it.

Only two weeks until it arrives... ;_;
