I haven't been blogging for a god damned long time... And so here goes everything...
First, I sold away my laptop. Yes, it's true. Got myself a new desktop... Quite impressive for the price I paid.
Athlon 64 3000+ Socket 754
ABIT KV8 Pro
Powercolor ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
512MB Corsair ValueSelect
Samsung SyncMaster 710N
Centurion IV Casing
Centurion eXtreme Power 380W
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB PATA
Western Digital Caviar SE 200GB PATA (Carried over from old system)
During the IT Show in March, got myself a LifeView FlyTV Prime 34 FM TV tuner.
The KV8 has been giving me problems with Cool'N'Quiet. The goddamn ethernet controller just refused to work. I got myself an Intel 10/100 Pro Ethernet card, 2nd hand for only $5. That'll suffice... However, I am too lazy to install it and most likely CNQ will remain off... so that means I have two ethernet controllers in use now. Gigabit LAN is just too enticing to give up, a PCI Gigabit LAN costs er, $129.
On the brighter side of things, I am hopefully going to trade in my spoilt Powershot A70 for an A95. For only $140. Sounds like a great deal. I can then proceed on to sell my A80 and reap some profits.
That's all for now. The next update might be in April.
