This should - hopefully - put an end to the numerous disk IO spikes and out-of-memory crashes I've been having lately.

=D

Orange "You Glad For Change" Cola

Bought from a 7/11 in Downtown Vancouver.

Mmm... Baracky. It was well worth the $2.50 CAD.

The ST2410 is looking very good so far (expect a detailed review at some point).

As for the motherboard... it appears that I did not in fact damage the other one. After switching mobos, the same issue I was having persisted. Since Newegg charges a 15% restocking fee + shipping, we've decided to keep the spare mobo and build another computer with it. This means that I might be able to upgrade my lowly AMD Athlon II x2 250 to a Phenom II x4 965 BE! =D (fingers crossed)

My second semester at SFU also starts on Monday, so I probably won't have much time to do side projects for a while.

Here are a few of the things I received for Christmas:

Dell ST2410 24" LCD - $220


Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H - $100 (to replace the one I fried >_>)

Ikea Kaffe Coffee/Tea Press - gift

... and some cash.

I also bought quite a few games during Steam's Annual Christmas Sale that should last me through the new year:

  • Audiosurf
  • Crysis
  • Crysis Warhead
  • Crysis Wars
  • Darwinia
  • Defense Grid: The Awakening
  • Garry's Mod
  • Max Payne
  • Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
  • Multiwinia
  • Osmos
  • Portal
  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
  • Shattered Horizon
  • Torchlight

Expect to see reviews in the coming months.

Note: The LCD and motherboard still haven't arrived yet, so technically I haven't "received" them. The mobo is supposedly in Redmond, WA. while the LCD is still "in transit in the U.S.". They are being shipped by UPS and Purolator respectively.
