Any one with old habits that aren't really necessary when dealing with PC parts?

For instance:

I still start from DIMM 1 (on non DC boards, DC is another matter)

I still use the Optical drive Audio cable though its not really needed with digital enabled

I still don't really use a wallpaper though i know it dosen't really drain anything like it would've back in the day (wayy back)

I still to this day look for jumpers on PCI cards etc..

I still look for jumpers or DIP switches on brand new motherboards

Still look for those 3 keys on the DIMM slot sometimes after all this time..



Future prediction, i might be looking for PATA and even maybe floppy controllers on the mobo..

Have found myself thinking WTF wheres the damn AGP? then i remember theres none anymore on most new boards.

Few times with LGA775 boards i've almost flipped that i got a dud cpu with no pins, then duh.. :rolleyes:
