The Dell Vostro is finished. Meet Patsy... or Cleopatra. Just call her Patsy.

Upgrades I gave her were an MSI GeForce 210 and SoundBlaster Audigy FX. RAM upgrade will come later. Despite having a 64bit C2D, she only supports 4GB max RAM, which is strange and a bit pointless if you want a 64bit system. But 32bit Vista Business runs 'swell.
Greta will now be regulated to an as-needed basis, mainly for road trips and if both of my desktops end up being busy. It's far more comfortable using a PC on a desk than being hunched over a TV dinner tray.
Fun fact... this PC came with an extra graphics card present... a Jaton GeForce 4MX PCI. Not PCI-e... just plain old PCI. GeForce4 MX may have been good back in the day, but even a barebones 210 outclasses it.

I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
