I'm working on more benchmarks Posted by chris at 12:16 PM Hardware • (6) Trackbacks
"Upgrade your life"
I got my upgrade today, WOW! This shit is fast! I'm going to put together some benchmarks and post them.
Here is a word of warning to all of you who might get a Gigabyte board anytime soon. If you are putting anything faster then a 1500+ in there, MAKE SURE TO CHANGE THE FSB JUMPER! I have a 2100+ and it would only register at 1500 cause of this, my brother had the same issues with a GigaByte board and I could never figure it out! I had to bump mine up to 133MHZ.
Also, something that pissed me off, my board has 2 USB 2.0 ports under the KB/Mouse ports like every other one, but it also has the PCI plate with 4 more with it, well I have that but there is NO PLACE to plug it in on the mobo. I'm pissed! I was looking forward to having 6 USB 2 ports. I tried calling support, no one was in, I doubt anyone will be there til the 2nd or 3rd. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Scratch that, I found it. It was throwing me off because the place you plug them in is huge compared to the plug. Now, I get my Firewire card installed, it's just a little too wide. Hmm, might have to get the saw zaw out!
Back to gaming! I'm on break damn it! Work can wait! Posted by chris at 08:06 PM Hardware • (0) Trackbacks

Movie Night!
During break, the only thing I'm doing is working and relaxing! Like nothing else! What a change! I brought home the OLD video projector from church and I'm watching movies on my wall, it's great. Between that and my ghetto 4.2 sound I'm set!

Not a chance!
I was going to work on skins this week for you guys, I would mainly try to put up some old templates I've used.
Problem is, I went to the tutorial that most of you bloggers have used and it didn't makes a lick of sence! I guess I'm just too hard core and don't like how she tries to explain everything out! No offence to her or anything but I just like seeing the code, throwing it in and playing with it. Also, I DON'T use CSS for my pages so that makes it different then the tutorial. I never plan on using CSS, my brain just doesn't like it, my head likes static HTML and PHP! Posted by chris at 01:50 PM This Blog • (0) Trackbacks

I'm famous, world wide!
I was looking through my referrals last night and found one of my entries was linked to in an <scripts.co.uk/trubador_egg.htm+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8">Cache! I would go tell the guys in the forum about the link, but I doubt BabelFish would do a good enough job, anyone here speak Itilian?
