I got my hard ware last night. I was up until the butt-crack of dawn, well, not exactly… I was only up until midnight. So far, I am impressed. Going from an 32 bit Athlon XP to a 64 bit Athlon X2 is pretty huge. It is only 240 mhz faster, but the X2 means that it has two cores. So basically, it is two processors on one chip. I haven’t had much time to test applications and games yet, but I have been able to run VMWare and it feels almost like real time.
I did get two video cards so I can run in SLI (scan-line interleaving) mode, but I found out my power supply can’t handle the extra card at this time. I have an order in to get a new power supply later this week. Oh, and my keyboard died last night too. Wierd.
There has only been one real issue with this. I have been spending too much time working on the computer and I have neglected spending as much time with Becca.
I am sorry, my dear.
