Time for a Funeral Pyre
-
Today I'm officially saying goodbye to an old friend...my first laptop. An HP dv6-3122us. I maxed the RAM out at 8GB. It had a dual-core AMD Turion at 2.4GHz. No discrete video memory. However, all that being said, I pushed this thing to the limit and made it stay there for days on end. It never failed me. Until a run-in with chocolate wine sped up my upgrade process some, I was doing okay with it. Now that I have my current laptop, I don't know how I functioned on that one. Still, so many good memories on it. But it is time to say goodbye. Below are two goodbye pics and another from it in its prime. Goodbye my friend!
