$1 RAM

Got the RAM today, at the Best Buy in Coquitlam (!!!).  There’s only one at the place though.  I owe Harold a drink now since I was late by quite a bit, had to drive me around, from New Westminister to Coquitlam, and he didn’t get the RAM…

Oh well, just hope the rebate will work…

On a brighter note, it seems that warmer weather will come back soon!  😀

Computer Stuff

After keep looking at forums and retailer websites for a month, I suddenly feel kind of sick of looking at computer stuff.  I probably is too depressed at the fact that there’s little chance for me get the new computer any time soon.Still plan to go to Best Buy tomorrow to pick up that $1 128mb RAM though…

Blog Discovered

So, one month after I created the blog, it is finally discovered by Ed. 🙂

Life has been uneventful of late. The holiday had been uneventful, and the start of the school term had been uneventful. I am having the feeling of getting stuck again. 🙁

I was thinking about getting a new computer during the holidays. I got as far as trying to order the system, only the scarcity of the video card that I wanted prevented me from typing this message with the new rig. Now that the holiday is passed and I don’t have time to fiddle with a new computer anymore, I will wait until the reading break or even after the final exams this term.

My desired specs:
Athlon 64 s939 3000+ or 3200+
A nforce4 Ultra motherboard (I don’t have money to buy two video cards to run SLI)
1 GB of RAM (I’ll get some cheap Samsung ones if I decide I won’t overclock at all, but the alledged overclocking ability of the CPU is tempting)
A Geforce 6600GT video card (Leadtek?)
Seagate 120GB SATA Hard drive (I am thinking if it’s going to be enough….)
Antec Super Lanboy Case (primarily because of its light weight)
OCZ Modstream 450W PSU

… I think that’s it, I can just reuse the two existing optical drives.
