Let's also post past computers :)

~1989: My first one was a 386, 20mhz, 40mb hd, 'doublespaced' it to 80. Forgot the ram.. 1 or 2 mb i guess.

~1992: got a 486, 66mhz, 1 gb hd (which was like OMFG at the time), 4mb ram

~1996: pentium 133 mhz, 12 gb hd, 32 mb ram (also OMFG)

After some other stuff i dont remember the specs from, i switched to laptops. Got the bulkiest 17" Acer. Weighted a good 5 kg and the P4 cpu required so much cooling, it made more noise than a vacuum cleaner. Got a Dell XPS M1530 next. Liked that one. Bought a Lenovo X301 next, and returned it within a week. Shittiest display ever. Got a Macbook Air instead. Loving it :)

350$!?!? you got ripped off bud... upgraded my comp (see above) for ~400$, but if you want to purchase a new sound card, Newegg.com and Tigerdirect.com are probably your best bet... Here is a 30 dollar card from newegg...
