Some may remember my recent switch back to a desktop. The idea being that it’d be significantly cheaper to build my dream desktop than get a new laptop. I’d then run vmware, sshd, etc allowing me to work on that desktop remotely.

That means when I’m doing tasks like compiling in visual studio, I’m actually building on my burly new machine instead of my sad old laptop. Another big reason for the switch was to have access to cheap parts and easy hardware upgrades. I haven’t taken advantage of that until last night.

I bought, and installed, 2 x 1GB of RAM for $79. I now have 4 GB of RAM total. I feel like I’m cheating.
