Well after 3 years I decided to upgrade my system to a Q6600 G0 from an Athon64 3700+. Ordered it from ClubIT ($291.99 ) and expecting it today, August 31st. Just wondering what it's doing in a Griffith, IN truck instead of my usual FedEx hub at Bedford Park, IL. That's 38 miles further east.

Hopefully I'll get it so I can assemble it with the eVGA 8800GTS 640mb, 2GB Crucial PC2-8500, and Asus P5K Premium v.02 I already have. The Ultra-120 Extreme CPU cooler will have to wait. Don't plan in OCing this rig right now, maybe later on.

I had a package sent from Oklahoma City, OK to Lubbock, TX. It spend 5 days traveling to New York and back. Don't question FedEx's genius routing algorithm.

Suprisingly, package got delivered in my front door 15 minutes ago. Time to assemble this system tonight/weeknend. Can't wait to see how fast this computer goes. :D

tracking glitches

A couple months ago the UPS tracking software once told me that a package was delivered 4 states away, to the wrong address, in January of 1997.....

Last week, I ordered a package 3-5 business day delivery, on the second day I tracked it and was informed that it had gone to Hong Kong on Day One, and Day two it was somewhere in China...It' showed up on the third day...Very much in the US.
