Default Cheap ass pc!

builded myself a cheap ass machine (1 month ago), setup:

- CPU Amd xp 1900
- Ram 256 MB
- Motherboard Abit NV7-133R
- Disk : WD 120GB
+ an old Geforce 2 MX card.

Windows XP (optimized for performance).

The machine is running like a speeding bullet, (have not bloated it down with unessesary services and software).
