Blarggh!
So hey, there's that totally awesome thing that life likes to do to me! Last post was all "hey I want to type about stuff" and all, right? Well right after that, my computer decides to die. As in, motherboard failure. Really? Right before WoW: Cataclym release too?
/facepalm
Well, on the upside, I was able to get a new machine and salvage my hard drives from the previous machine, so I didn't lose anything but time (well, and some money, but not AS much as it coulda been since, ya know, parents being awesome). My migraines have been especially horrific for the last week too, but the new PC is something positive at least! Here's the specs, which is a pretty damn sweet machine now that I get down to it..
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 (Hexa-Core!), 3.2 GHz
RAM: 8 GHz @ 1.3 GHz
Storage: 2 Terabytes (1 TB main drive, 2 512 MB drives from previous machine) & Blu-Ray player / DVD-Burner
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 w/ 768 MB
In other words, this thing is a monster, and the most powerful computer I've ever owned, let alone used, by far. Not only in absolute terms but relatively speaking too.. AMD doesn't make a more powerful or faster processor then this one, currently, and the video card can do DirectX 11 second-to-only-a-few others on the market. I'm using my Logitech sound system, keyboard and mouse with it, and my previous monitor too, among a handful of other parts, to keep costs down. But, again, wouldn't have been able to afford it without help from my parents, 'cause income from disability barely feeds me, let alone keeps the electricity on, so if there's anything for me to 'give thanks' for this season, it's that.
On a less hopeful note, my breathing problems seem to have gotten worse as of late, so if ya'll are talking to me online and I suddenly go quiet, it's probably to shove my face in front of the air purifier/ conditioner / cleaner thingy here. I can't believe I'm 30 already either.. feels like I graduated college fewer years ago then I actually did..
Well, anyways, I DID get to type a bunch of stuff like I wanted to; just later then I had hoped. Since I've got this new computer I'm installing stuff onto it now, so maybe I'll catch some of ya's online in Azeroth later. Ta~
