P4 HT 3Ghz
512mb RAM

This is incredibly creepy, as my old system had the exact same specs as you listed, graphics card was even the same model. I also just finished ordering 4GB of a RAM, and a Q6600. The only difference is I got 2 ATI HD 4850s for crossfire.
Stop fucking stalking me, whoever you are! |

To make it creepier for you, I've build over 20 or more system with that exact same specs to different individuals. OooooooOOOO the Burrito man is coming for you!!!!!
It's just a coincidence. During that time the P4 with HT 3GHz (everyone like to brag about their 3GHz cpu) was the most popular along with 512mb of ram which is what most people can afford (ram are expensive during that time) and the GeForce FX5200 is the cheapest card with DirectX9 support (but crappier than the GeForce Titanium series) unless you want the $300 speed king ATi Radeon 9700Pro.
As of now not only you 2 have it there are millions out there with the same specs because of popular demand and affordable price. So no one is stalking you.
Some pizza and booze should cure your disorder.

The PC I'm using is 6 years old. It's a Dell Dimension 4400. It still works like a charm. Fits all my uses and its like a virus/malware/spyware etc deflector. It never seems to get infected by anything.  |

CPU once a year, video card every 6 months. Motherboard, RAM, etc as needed. I typically keep my boot drives, optical drives, cases, PSU's, monitors etc as long as possible.
For the average person, every 2 years is good. |
