How many cores does it take?
Quote of the Day:
D: I don't even KNOW what I'm going to do with six cores. I must have been feeling insecure in my masculinity when I bought it.
-or-
D: Huh, it really is easier not to run into things in WoW.
W: Yeah I thought it might be.
D: I mean, I was thinking maybe I was just making excuses for how I can't play.
W: Nah, I noticed it too.
D: ...I was thinking maybe YOU just can't play, too.
W: Well I knew better than THAT.
So the new computer went pretty well. No parts were DOA and it's running nicely. Had some trouble installing Windows 7.
Kept giving me some error about how it couldn't install to the harddrive, wasn't bootable. A weird error and none of the fixes online seemed to apply. I spent a good hour running back and forth yelling "YOU CAN SEE IT" And "What are they even TALKING about???"
Until Wm saw that I was using the old cable.
"Wait isn't this your cable?"
Yeah I just used the one that was already in the old case.
"Oh that's probably your problem."
Wat?
"Yeah remember when you first got that new hard drive and it was giving me some weird error and you said you probably needed to use the new cable and I said that was stupid and didn't make any sense but it worked."
...That's stupid and doesn't make any sense, I don't remember this happening.
"Why don't you try it anyway."
DAMN IT IT WORKED WHAT THE HELL???
"Yeah I got over that three years ago."
Then it worked like magic, and everything got installed. The videocard needed its driver, and Windows 7 had to install like four thousand updates (I don't even know...) and I had trouble downloading WoW again because the computer kept going into sleep mode and pausing my download. But I think I have it figured out now.
And since I've been talking up how excited I am about this new computer at work I can't take a sick day to play with it. Oh well, I have class tonight anyway.
