Hi there. Not much going on. I did make a few screenshots of my linux desktop. I may put them on flickr, who knows? Anyway, I’m trying to add actual content to this site, but it’s slow going and hasn’t exactly been a priority.
Well, here they are:
Running Windows XP under VirtualBox with seamless integration

System monitor. […]

I wish I had more to blog about, but I don’t… deal with it…
I just recently ordered this RAM to replace my current crap-tastic RAM…
Regarding college…. I’ve been looking at TCC and ComputerTraining.com has been trying to get me, but I doubt I will be going to them if the finances don’t work out. […]

NOTE: I’m using Flock to post this.
My Kingston DDR400 RAM crapped out last night, so I filed an RMA request to get a new one. I just have to package it and ship it from work. I’d rather just get another stick of RAM,  particularly something I can overclock better.

I’m going to try Dreadnought demo. It is specifically designed to run well on an AMD64 processor, which I do have.
Hmm, I also think I might have a cavity. bleh

Well, I finally managed to correctly overclock my AMD Athlon64 3000+ from 1.8GHz to 2.25GHz safely (well, as safe as can be)

For some reason my sfan2 connector on my motherboard suddenly fried… thankfully, that’s ALL that got fried and I still have another connector for the fan. Not sure why or how it happened.

Thanks to the generous help of some friends, I was able to finish building my amd64 machine. Here are the specs:

CPU: AMD Athon64 3000+ Venice Socket 939 ($146)
Mobo: MSI K8N Neo4 with nVidia nforce 4 chipset and onboard audio/LAN/PCI-E ($90)
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 164.7GB SATA 7200 RPM ($90)
DVD: LG GWA-4131B DVD-RW drive ($65)
Kingston 512MB DDR400 RAM […]

Enough of this. I just got another collection letter from the agency ODU hired. I need to contact some credit counselors about this, and negotiate a payment plan for this. This is my dad’s fault, but I can’t let him fix it. He won’t do anything but ask me for money.
In other news, I just […]

I bought a Compaq wireless rechargable mouse from Radio Shack, and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap for Game Boy Advance yesterday. The game will likely be taking up quite a bit of my time. That and Metroid Prime 2
I also called Cox and got my new cable modem activated. It seems twice as […]

I recieved a case (color black/silver) for a birthday present. I also purchased an LG GWA-4161B DVD/CD burner. I still have ~$380 left to a completed box.

I’ve posted a fairly cheaper wishlist… this time, going with AthlonXP, instead of Athlon64.

I’m hoping to build an Athlon64 within the next month. I know someone who can get me a case and PSU (If the PSU is ATX then it will work) and I’ll probably use a cheap monitor until I can get a decent one.
Check out my NewEgg wishlist for more detailed specs.
