Slow&Stable vs Fast&Unstable

[Kaizer]

What would you choose? Basically I booted the woman recently.. and told her a bit back that she can leave with a computer of mine (I have 4). The main pc she used a few weeks back started acting up, I knew when I put the system together the motherboard was already on its last legs.. but worked none the less.

Now comes the choice. I told her I can *maybe* get the 1.3ghz pc working, but it most likely will crash every 30 min or so.

Or.. she can take a p3 500mhz pc that runs rock solid.

She sorta games.. plays a lot of EQ.

Slow and stable if I had to. I wouldn't like a random BSOD or reboot caused by instability to destroy any any work I'm doing. In fact, I've gotten 3 BSODs this morning as my RAM started acting up after very mild overclocks.

Stable kicks instability's ass.

Kinda torn here, stable is definatly better, but you did just give her the boot for a reason..... Your call which to give

Even though you booted her, I would help her out and give her the stable pc. You dont want to burn bridges, and you never know when a lonley nights gonna come up and gonna need some ass.

LMAO...

Stability is essential if you are doing critical work on ur machine. If ur just using it for messing around on then its less important. BUT u dont wanna lose ur install or whatever else just due to a random crash.

Give her a hand...she will appreciate it...

Im still running a 550mhz intel, go ahead give her that one, thats the stable one right? Or you could say "Screw you" and not give her anything.

Thanks for the replies.. I think I will be giving her the 500mhz pc.

She will be moving out of state, so the booty down the road is less likely to be a concern

Learn from me bro- dont give her squat. 5 months from now shell be just a memory and youll be giving that stable pc to a new broad.

good luck bro.

This is the understatment of all time.

where is she moving to (give her the unstable one and my phone # as her local tech suport)

na the 500mhz sounds like an ok system, the 1.3ghz you can alwase play with but if she cant fix it when it messes up there in no point in her having it, look like the big man give her the good and working pc and tell her your going to keep the borken one, and make it sound like your lozing out, (and remember out of state just meens she may need a place to stay when she is in town, sorry for your loss, but thats life good luck!)

Trust me when I say this, it was no loss on my part

I gave her the boot for a reason =)

I would choose slow and stable. No one likes to keep rebooting a computer just to get something done.
