New Stuff

Finally upgraded my computer, got a " ASUS G Series G1-AK024C NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T7200(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide SXGA+ 2GB DDR2 667 160GB 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce Go 7700 - Retail" Off newegg for roughly $2k, was originally 2,400 USD, but i got the warranty refunded, but once i got that finished, everything made sense price wise, considering everything it has, I'd say it's a pretty decent price. Also got a pair of HD215 Sennheisers as you can see in my webcam pics as i wear and enjoy them. Not only did i get a laptop, but i also built a workstation sporting another core 2 duo, but it was an e6400 now currently overclocked to 3.1ghz with the help of a good technologist friend, i have it running stable on an MSI P6N SLI Platinum LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail also from newegg. Can't really beat heir prices or their return policies. Anyways, I only purchased that board because it's the only one that i've seen which not only has pata but also sports sata which is a major plus in my book, it has the 2 pata ports, very important--untill 99.9% of drives on the market are no longer pata. Also, now that most of the systems are sporting the 10/100/1000 nic cards, i decided to start migrating us to gigabit ethernet and i must say, it's quite fast, transfering an episode of DL TV to another system in well under 20 seconds *smiles*
