2006 - already? geesh this all reminds me of the Monty Python snippit:
< wooshing sound > "What was that?" "That was your life mate" "Do I get another" "Nope, sorry." "damm" Not that I´m complaining - just noticing how fast things seem to be proceeding by - but I´m still having fun. Today we might be going out on the CCGA boat to run safety for the polar bear swim - that is if there is a polar bear swim. with a forecast for 55 knot winds - it may get scrapped. We´ll probabyl go out anyway - do some rough weather training :) I mentioned yesterday that my computer basically blew up (well the video card blew up and took the computer with it... So most of yesterday was spent researching the best replacement mobo/board combo - and I think I have it: Asus is the manufacturer of choice and I´m going to the extreme... A8N SLI Premium board and a Athlon 64 X2 Dule Core... let´s see what that puppy can do for the ole productivity. Which is going to be important because I´ll probably be about a month behind by Wed when I hope to get things running after a trip to Vancouver on Tuesday to pick it up. |

Iīll be interested in how the Dule Core works out. If it means what I think, side by side linked precessors, Iīve heard that much of the existing software canīt take advantage of the new configuration. What have you heard about the new stuff in the pipe line?
Sorry you lost the old rig. Itīs never a good time for that, but around the holidays might be about the worst. |

Sorry I didnīt get back to you sooner - been a bit NUTZ here...
As for the system - it ROCKS. I just read a review from cnet and they recommend the Athlon too. SO far though - Iīve very impressed. Especially with the MOBO because it has dual ethernet and Iīm using that through my home network on two different subnets to great effect! --

It sounds like it is doing even more than you had hoped. Congratulations. I just broke down and ordered a dell 9300 media laptop to replace my ī486ī which is barely running win 98 second ed. It should be fun getting it set up. As RSS probably told you, I put more photos in the main album and one in navigation tools.
