It's Been a While!

It has indeed been a while since I have posted. In this time I have upgraded to a new box! Very exciting. I got one of the new AMD Athlon64 X2 chips (Brisbane Core, 65nm process). Also a Biostar tForce 550 mobo with 1GB matched pair DDR2 RAM. Finally, since the new board is PCI-E, I grabbed a GeForce 6600GT (Only 128mb vram, but it's DDR3, so it flies). It's amazing how much faster I compile when 2 cores split the work. I thought 64bit alone was fast! I saved the old pieces and am in the process of getting a new PSU to get them back up. I think I might throw Vista on that box for gaming (I have Vista for free - thank you MSDNAA - and don't feel like paying for WinXP). Actually I'll probably sell it. Who knows. Anyway, another review is in the works (hopefully later tonight). Hopefully they will come more frequently.
