Vinyl 45 arrives





It’s here.

DFI Lan­Party UT NForce4 SLI-DR VENUS, AMD 64bit 3200+ (939) @ 2.4GHz, 2GB (2 x 1GB DIMMS) OCZ Plat­inum DDR PC4000, 256MB GeForce 7600GS PCIe, 250GB Sata2 Sea­gate, Pio­neer DVD Combi drive, OCZ Pow­er­stream 520 Watts… and XP Pro still sucks. Nec­es­sary evils, I sup­pose. 2221 3DMark ’06, don’t remem­ber ’05 score.

All this fire­power and I’m sit­ting here play­ing seven-year-old RTS games any­way. Sigh :P Next stop, another hard drive (just so I don’t have system/data on same disk… I’d com­plain about the page­file — wow it’s weird call­ing a swap par­ti­tion that — but some­how with 2GBs of tasty mem­ory — mmm brains — that shouldn’t be too much of a con­cern just yet ;-)).

Also, I’m rather sold on the dual core myth so if any­one has an X2 939 they’re try­ing to get rid of… PWTB. Not that I need it right now so it’ll wait a while. I’m plan­ning on sav­ing again and get­ting some decent video hard­ware to go with my new Sony PVM-411CE :-)

I’ve got some case mods planned but am think­ing they’re going to have to wait until sum­mer break for rea­sons of time and money. And it’s now 1.30 in the morn­ing and I’ve got to be up in five and a half hours. Doh… com­put­ers suck.
