New Machine

posted on july 30, 2002, tag: tech

Lots of down-time lately. I finally purchased new computer parts (no, not Apple), and upgraded my crappy old PII 350. Now I'm cruising with a P4 2.26GHz machine with lots of DDR RAM. Yay! It's nice and fast, but the road to building my new box was one full of little problems. Now, a fresh install of XP and plenty of removing and replacing hardware later, I'm all done. My only problem now is that my sound card seems to be getting interference from something in my case (seems to by my hard drive), and is giving me some static when anything is playing (ie: music, games, etc).

Anyway, Flash stuff is actually smooth and flashy, games like Warcraft III actually work, and 115-layer Photoshop documents open instantly. Thank god.

Saw Austin Powers in Goldmember over the weekend, and liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I read tons of bad reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. If you liked the second film, I would recommend seeing it. Then again, I think most people will anyway. It's sorta one of those things.
