A new PC
Yup we got a new computer today. My dad has been getting into video editing and wanted his own comp. So we got a nice one too for a whopping $490 @ Fry’s. Seriously cheapness!! A combo for an ECS / P4 3.0 NORTHWOOD, not presshit, only $169. Cheaper then what is found online. Then some memory for $59 (512MB, Kingston), 200GB HD 7200RPM retail for $89 and we were almost done. Seriously a good deal. Brings the count of computers to 4, all over 1.7GHz as well. My laptop is at 1.7Ghz, but its a centrino so in reality its faster then a 1.7ghz P4 or Athlon…
Kind of scary… we have more working computers then people and I know I am getting a mac mini too soon, that will bump it to 6 computers plus when my bro comes home for the summer we will have 7… scary shit really.
Computers that we have from fastest to slowest.
Yvo’s main rig = P4 3.4ghz / 1gb ram / 300gb hard drives / ati radeon 9800xt / 2x DVD burners
Dad’s MM rig = P4 3.0ghz / 512mb ram / 200gb hard drive / nvidia fx5700 / 1x DVD burner
Amy’s rig = P4 2.8ghz / 512mb ram / 220gb hard drives / nvidia fx5700 / 1x DVD burner, 1x CD burner
Mom’s rig = P4 2.6ghz / 512mb ram / 120gb hard drive / ati radeon 9200 / 1x CD burner
Yvo’s portable rig = Centrino 1.7ghz / 512mb ram / 60gb hard drive / ati radeon 9200 / 1x DVD+R burner
I have numorous computers on my room too but they are below 1ghz and they aren’t used as frequently.
In other news… I am a nice guy I suppose. Apparently one of my former friends was having website probs… spent about 5 minutes looking into the problem and got it fixed. Whoever was helping her wasn’t really doing a good job at fixing the problem… ever heard of connecting to cpanel (port 2082 people) and checking the sql username to reset the password. Anywho… I did that and updated the software to CPGnuke 9.0.
All in a good day’s work I suppose.
