Compy Troubles

, , , ...

Greh, ok, so part of the reason I haven't posted lately is that last.... Sunday, maybe Monday, my power supply failed and in failing shorted my motherboard out, so now we're getting new ones, but those won't be here till Wednesday! :irked:

Though, I suppose it's worth the wait but still, in any case, here's what I'm getting:

CPU:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice 2.4GHz | 512KB L2 Cache | Socket 939
NewEgg Listing

Motherboard:
ASUS A8N-VM CSM | Socket 939 | NVIDIA GeForce 6150 | Micro ATX AMD
NewEgg Listing

Power Supply:
In-Win Retail Q Series
Provider Site

I'm mostly excited by the fact I'm getting a GeForce 6150 GPU since it does two things the old one (an MX) couldn't, Anti-Aliasing and Pixel Shader v3.0, so that's pretty swicked. It'll be the first time I'll have had either, ever! :yes:


Anyway, in other parts of my life, I got to talk to Lileh on the phone Friday so that made me happy too, she ish muchly fun to talk to. ^_^ ~Cannot understand how anyone could call her boring.~ Hopefully we won't have another month or two gap between calls.

Also, I've been working on a RGSS script for RPG Maker XP that adds mouse functionality into the game, though working on Kevin's compy is tough because it's laggy and so I can't tell if it's my script lagging or the game sometimes, not to mention I lost the latest version of the script when my other compy failed.

Anyway, Yeah, I love making posts.... I wonder why I don't do it more often. I'll try to work on that, so until next post (hopefully not in two weeks)

Chao!
