|
||||
Hello, this is Swift 110.
|
||||
I decided to do a recording about Installing Windows 7.
|
||||
I managed to get an extra SATA drive from a friend of mine.
|
||||
He was nice enough to give me an old hard drive that he had that needed no more so he went
|
||||
ahead and gave it to me.
|
||||
Approximately 320 GB of capacity.
|
||||
So I say that it will be a very useful thing for me.
|
||||
Currently this PC that I have is a Gateway DX48, let me see, look at the side because
|
||||
I don't know where he's remembering necessarily, ah, the side panel.
|
||||
It is a Gateway Model DX4860 and UB3PP is the specific model that it is.
|
||||
I bought it in November of 2012 and the original idea I had when I got this PC was that over
|
||||
time I would upgrade it.
|
||||
I would upgrade it and it would suit my purposes quite well.
|
||||
Well, that's actually been what's happened since November 2012.
|
||||
Here it is nearly November of 2015.
|
||||
It's been a good long time that I've had this computer and I got to say I'm pretty happy
|
||||
with it.
|
||||
It comes with an i5 2320 CPU.
|
||||
It has 8GB of RAM, DDR3.
|
||||
Of course being of that generation of CPU, it's Intel 2000, internal graphics, that's
|
||||
what it was out the box.
|
||||
I ended up getting a Mac Pro for one of my friends, a 2006 Mac Pro and well the logic board
|
||||
died on it and I kind of just left it sitting around for the longest time, didn't do anything
|
||||
with it and I was thinking about selling it, thinking about selling the monitor, trying
|
||||
to get some money for it.
|
||||
Well anyway, that monitor, after a long time, I finally decided to, what if I could connect
|
||||
this to my PC and I discovered it needed a dual DVI graphics card so I could connect
|
||||
the monitor.
|
||||
The monitor is a 30 inch Apple Cinema display, it has 2560 by 1600 resolution, it's a really
|
||||
nice screen, it's just such a pleasure to use, oh my goodness, it's crazy.
|
||||
We got that going, so I needed a new graphics card, but in order to get a new graphics card
|
||||
I would also need a new power supply.
|
||||
So I went to Micro Center as tradition and got a 430 watt, 430 watt power supply, I figured
|
||||
it would be sufficient for my needs and I also got, was it modular or non-modular?
|
||||
I forgot, I got a good deal for it, so it's okay.
|
||||
Anyway I also got the graphics card, I was originally looking for a GT210 because all
|
||||
I was interested in was connecting the monitor to my PC and having it work so I can put something
|
||||
I have to use instead of just sitting here, it's a great screen, so putting it to use
|
||||
is a very, very, very good thing.
|
||||
So I go to the Micro Center looking for the GT210, grab the box, pay for it, go home, guess
|
||||
what was in the box, not a GT210, it was a GT610, so okay, pretty much I got the hookup,
|
||||
holla if you hear me, so not being wanting to look a gift for us in the mouth, I just
|
||||
went ahead and installed it, could have even gotten a money, one of those mail-in rebate
|
||||
things, I can't stand those things, but I decided to just, you know what, I got a good deal,
|
||||
I paid like $25 for it, and I know people are probably making fun of me right now, you're
|
||||
saying, man, that GT610 is some garbage, like what is this, 2006, 2008, you can do better
|
||||
than that buddy, why don't you, you know, you could at least rock a 750 Ti, come on, bring
|
||||
it up to Maxwell, I'm sorry, I don't have it yet, actually with regards to the GPU,
|
||||
I'm gonna actually get a better one at some point, it's just not a high priority, I'm
|
||||
able to do everything I need to do with this monitor, I'm not really much of a gamer, I'm
|
||||
getting a full resolution, so I don't really have a pressing need to upgrade that just yet,
|
||||
considering getting a 960 or a 970, so if I was to get a graphics card, oh I'm gonna get a
|
||||
good graphics card, the funny thing is if I get a 970, it'll be almost as much as what I pay
|
||||
for the computer in the first place, I originally paid about $400 for it, it was another model,
|
||||
what I did was I was looking at what was available, and like I told you, I always had to go of
|
||||
upgrading it, I was gonna buy a basic computer, micro-center, upgrade it, do what I want to it
|
||||
over time, that way I don't have to necessarily have all the money up front, it could just be a
|
||||
gradual thing, so what happened was I went ahead and bought another model because they didn't have
|
||||
what I wanted in the Rockfield store, saying I'm going to end up taking that thing home,
|
||||
which was interesting, and I found I didn't have the right connections for a monitor, really,
|
||||
so I decided, you know what, I'm gonna go take this thing back and get my computer that I actually
|
||||
want, the gateway, I bought something else, anyway, it's a pain in the butt going to micro-center,
|
||||
from DC, to Rockfield, with the computer, kind of really didn't feel like doing it, so one of my
|
||||
buddies, you know, he picked me up, and I took the piano to the store in Vienna, and I ended up
|
||||
switching it for what I actually wanted, and got 15 bucks back, so that's not bad at all,
|
||||
I'm not complaining about that, got home, set it up, Bob's Uncle, so now we're fast-forwarding
|
||||
nearly three years, and I'm pretty satisfied with the machine, I know it's an older CPU,
|
||||
but it's good, I can change that out at some point, the only thing now that they kind of got me on
|
||||
is with regards to the motherboard, it's an OEM model, and here's the issue, the CPU that I have
|
||||
can go up to 32 gigs of RAM, however the motherboard can only go up to 16, so it seems like I'm
|
||||
restricted by the motherboard, granted 32 gigs of RAM is to say it nicely, quite overkill for me,
|
||||
16 gigs would be just fine, and I'm considering getting that as well, so what I want to do with regards
|
||||
to this computer is to get another graphics card and to double the RAM, I like playing in virtual
|
||||
box, so that'd be kind of cool, I'm starting off with Blender and getting used to working with that
|
||||
particular program, I just don't have very intense needs for RAM, so I don't really need
|
||||
32 gigs of RAM, it's just nice to have the option to upgrade to that in the future,
|
||||
and the truth of the matter is my issue with getting the 16 gigs, and then I decide later I want to
|
||||
swap out the motherboard and get 32, is that well, I'll have two, I'll be getting, well I can
|
||||
probably get around that, because when I get the 16 gig kit, roughly 100 bucks, I might be
|
||||
able to get a little lower, maybe 80 bucks, probably phenomenal, it's going to be two four gig sticks,
|
||||
so if I get a motherboard, for example, that has four slots,
|
||||
then I can put the 16 that I bought, and then get another 16 later,
|
||||
the issue with regards to the RAM and pricing, is that right now DDR4 is out,
|
||||
so at some point production of DDR3 is going to cease, they're going to focus on DDR4,
|
||||
prices for DDR3 RAM is going to go up, I'm concerned it's going to do the same thing as DDR2,
|
||||
now DDR2 RAM is pretty expensive, I think it will be extremely cheap at this point,
|
||||
with those machines being old as the hills, but it just doesn't work that way,
|
||||
demand makes the price go up, I guess they're more rare commodities now, so,
|
||||
let's just say the price isn't right, for the DDR2, I'm glad I got my X201 laptops that are DDR3,
|
||||
so I can get past all that nonsense, with regards to this gateway, and there's a lot,
|
||||
I don't even fully use this capabilities now, but I look forward to at least doubling the RAM,
|
||||
strongly considering with regards to motherboard, I don't know, I've actually never
|
||||
taken a computer or well, I've never done that with one of my own computers,
|
||||
take the computer completely apart, put the motherboard, yeah, you know what, I've never done that,
|
||||
go all the way down, take the motherboard out, switch it out, and put all my components on,
|
||||
never done that before, so, I'm a little bit apprehensive about that,
|
||||
rather not, but I gotta learn to get past all that nonsense, and go ahead and do two for myself,
|
||||
so, the computer currently is dual booted, for the longest time I just had Windows 7,
|
||||
the version of Windows 7, it gave me, that was already on the PC, is the home premium,
|
||||
I would have much preferred professional, could have gave me professional, but they pretty much
|
||||
got me on the home premium, whatever, it came with one terabyte hard drive, which was a phenomenal,
|
||||
and still there's a phenomenal amount of storage, I don't use it all,
|
||||
and having this extra 320 gig hard drive in there, that's a nice chunk,
|
||||
so, I have storage galore, actually gonna probably use that to back up my Fujitsu
|
||||
lifebook 4215, because that hard drive is kind of long on a tooth now, so, it's gonna be needing to be
|
||||
replaced, eventually, I'm gonna hold off on that just yet, but all in all I'm happy with the gateway,
|
||||
there's stuff I can actually do with it, to put it to work, I find that I use my laptops a lot more
|
||||
than I use my PC, which is absolutely interesting, hold my word, hold my word, I just installed,
|
||||
yeah, Windows, I got the ultimate version, it was crazy, and so, now I'll be able to get around
|
||||
some of the problems that I was having before, the thing about Windows, home premium,
|
||||
I've been trying to install a game SimCity 4 Deluxe, it's an older game from like 2007,
|
||||
and it just gives me issues, I run, I install the exact same game on my Fujitsu
|
||||
lifebook 4215, which is a laptop from 2006, it's a Core 2 Duo, and it runs the game just fine,
|
||||
it's just on a little laptop, it's 12 inches, I want to run this on my PC, once I run it on my PC,
|
||||
I don't know if you guys will ever see me again, because I, I almost want to say I'll never leave
|
||||
the house, of course that's bit of a hyperbole, because I don't like staying in the house all
|
||||
the time, like going out walks and all that, so I just really want to play SimCity 4 Deluxe again,
|
||||
reload up my old cities and get back to work, you know what I mean, I love that game,
|
||||
and having the ultimate version of Windows 7 will make that not an issue, there's certain features
|
||||
that Windows 7 home premium lacks that are available in professional or ultimate, or even enterprise
|
||||
addition, and one of them is Windows, I think it's XP, and it's almost like a virtual machine,
|
||||
within an operating system, that allows you to run your older games with no problem with Windows 7,
|
||||
that's been an issue for use for me, so getting around that would actually be a fantastic thing,
|
||||
looking forward to actually getting that going, and being able to play that game on a computer with
|
||||
vastly greater capabilities than I've ever had before, I haven't actually played the game
|
||||
with five years, and I played that game when this old Pentium 4, so it's, I should say it's been a
|
||||
while, and looking forward to getting to it. As I mentioned, I have the cities that I've already
|
||||
worked on, regions and whatnot, so it's going to be funny seeing what I did years ago and actually
|
||||
started where I left off pretty much, I've long since thrown away the old computers,
|
||||
and now I'm rocking a new hotness, old and busted, got down away with, so that workshop pretty well,
|
||||
I'm so happy to have this extra hard drive, this is proving to be a big boost,
|
||||
I'm still installing Windows, it's completing the installation, actually this isn't that long,
|
||||
I'm used to it being a much bigger issue, but I'm hanging in there, pretty much going to wait
|
||||
until it finishes completely, and then I can install various programs I have, what I'll do with
|
||||
the original one terabyte hard drive in the gateway is that I'm, is dual blue with Windows 7 on
|
||||
premium, and Linux Mint 17.1, I want to shrink the partition of Windows 7, and obviously grow
|
||||
the Linux Mint partition, the machine could quite a bit, and what I really would like to do,
|
||||
what I could do even, is transfer what I have on there, I might just decide to give the whole
|
||||
terabyte to Linux Mint, and then the whole 320 gig will be the Windows, that whole second drive
|
||||
will be for Windows 7, I'm flirting with that idea right now, we'll see if she responds.
|
||||
I don't know what else to say right now, I'm past a 19 minute mark, I could run my mouth a little
|
||||
more, but this computer, I'm trying to think what else to say, look forward to playing some city four on
|
||||
it, city skylines on it, you can tell I like city strategy building games, tropical, I really
|
||||
want to work in Tril, hello, bad game, I mean I was playing that game, back when,
|
||||
woo, back in the day when that was younger, like younger, man I wasn't even 10, wow,
|
||||
wow, I used to play it at this place called learning smiths, that was located in Georgetown Park,
|
||||
in DC, it was a mall, you could just go and they had an FAO Swartz upstairs, they had a learning
|
||||
smith, and I had several computers, good god, I hate to, wow, I hate to, you know,
|
||||
curious about the specs of those things now, but you could just kind of go there and play on
|
||||
computers and they had a lot of Broderbund software, played math games, and this one game that I
|
||||
don't know the name of, but it's like an aquarium simulator, which you can play as different
|
||||
sea creatures, different types of fish, octopus and stuff, I don't know the name of that game,
|
||||
it's such an older game, and I'm assuming it's a Broderbund game, but I don't know the name of it,
|
||||
and I haven't played it since what, 92, so, it's probably a lot to ask to,
|
||||
you know, but I love to play that game again, I'm probably, it probably doesn't,
|
||||
it's probably not as great as it appears, just I was a little kid, and this is back when Amazon
|
||||
Trail was out, Oregon Trail was on, and those were the days my friend, I thought were never in
|
||||
pop references or crazy, trying to think, but I really missed those stores, the FAO Swartz,
|
||||
I missed the Learning Smith, now that I'm old enough to actually buy stuff from there,
|
||||
there are no more, such as life, and I just got to deal with it, you know,
|
||||
I'm still waiting for this installation to complete, but I'll probably just do another video
|
||||
about installation further, I'm tired of talking, well anyway, this is Anthony,
|
||||
actually well, this is Swift 110, and I'm installing Windows, and talking about the specs of my
|
||||
gateway, PC, you guys have a great day, goodbye.
