Ah, been almost 2 weeks since last update. Just goes to show that been too busy to rant and rave. I am fairly happy this week apart from issues with my PC upgrade.

So last week I decided if I sold motherboard, CPU, etc that could get newer i7 920. Anyhow, sold and ordered parts. However, here is first issue. Motherboard I ordered from aria was out of stock, however I was not told that. when I went to look for it for some specs on website it had vanished. No email saying out of stock etc..

In end I phoned up, ordered a different more expensive one. Here goes my second problem. Original board I ordered was brilliant and cheaper. New board, although brilliant too and with USB3 it only has 1 PCI slot. So, this is required for soundcard, however I was using 2 slots because I had an excellent PCI wireless network card.

So, plug in old netgear USB adaptor and no Win7 drivers. Ordered a new one... more cost. However, much better as dual frequency. Anyhow, so now I got my I7, motherboard, 6Gb memory. Cooler wanted, out of stock.. Arg.. However, again little bit more cash and got an excellent on. PSU not powerful enough, arg. New PSU. So basically quite expensive, but upgrade once every 2 years so... GFX cards still good for todays games - unless want DX11???

Anyhow, spur of the moment upgrade done, PC running smooth. Top notch parts. I love my system, got my nice IPS 24" montitor, my nice GTX260XXX and now i7 with 6Gb all with Win7 Pro. Nice to game on, along with vid and picture edits of course. Far too powerful just to Facebook :-)

There is something else that gets me - Facebook, or rather that type of site as not picking on jst one. I remember the day where we all used to play outside and just used to chat with kids round our area. When one of friends moved to USA it made it almost impossible to keep in contact, well we couldn't afford airmail. These days, Facebook, email, skype - webchat.

But just modern day technology at work...
