One thing about quitting my job is I made up a story about having another job with an uncle of mine that I had to take. Doesn't sound too good if you mention you are quitting cause of mental stress. People don't understand that.

^^ How is your course work this sem?

I thought the drama died down in there, but evidently not. Fanboys are so funny.

1 course. That's all I was really allowed to take a head of time. I signed up for a 2 year diploma/degree and they REALLY discourage you from taking any of the classes ahead of time. They said something about having all the students going through the courses as a group or something. Anyway the 1 course is going fine. But it's just a simple business communications course.

I'm taking an IT diploma/degree (starting Sept) so there will be some math I guess. Mostly will be programming, networking etc. Parents wanted me to do something really practical after all my emotional fuckups.

Well crap, wife decided not to go to her class tonight so I won't have the house to myself.

Barfo, why are you still using that antiquated CPU?

Barfo, why are you still using that antiquated CPU?

I used that CPU (though overclocked) up until last September and frankly, I could still be using it today and it would be fine. If I wouldn't have gotten my i7, board, and power supply basically for free, I wouldn't have upgraded.

Mostly because any CPU above a Celeron is massively overpriced down here :/

I know it is a pretty good CPU, my lab system has the same.

But, in the past year or so, dual cores are meh.. when it comes to gaming. I think Barfo is not using that 6850 to its maximum potential.

Hmm. I understand, India was the same couple of years back. It seem things are changing there, the prices have been coming down a lot.

Lol, nice. No the people I work with are good people. I'm quitting for my own issues.

Yeah though you can still get dual core it's really starting to show its age.

Hoping to upgrade to an IB quad core for ~$400.

PC gaming is a wealthy people's hobby here :s

I'm poor and I can still do it. Last gen hardware is usually a small fraction of the MSRP, and Steam has games much cheaper than normal, especially around the holidays with their super sales. I got 600 dollars worth of crap for a hundred. Havent even installed half of them yet.

 

[Barfo]

Where do you live?

Mexico.

 

[Locut0s]

Mexico.

Born in Mexico, live there for work, or for some other reason?

People in US should feel lucky, even Europeans pay a lot for hardware and games.
