I'm at home visiting my folks, and I'm leaving Thursday, so I'm spending New Years Eve with them.

I almost had you beat there, a client called and we agreed that on an 8PM to copy files from her old Performa to a Dell 4600. :D
Also was troubleshooting a damn ECS K7S5A during my senior prom.

i dont get it.. why does everyone else have problems with that board, but it chugs along fine for me?

I have to take care of my baby. She is really sick with the flu so im just gonna go over to her house and take care of her like the good boyfriend I am. Plus I only have a couple days till I ship back out for more basic training so I need to spend as much time with her as possible. Last year I was completely alone in my house for some odd reason, at least thats not happening this year.

Probally alone, or with my mom. Plans with friends are falling through and the others are out of town.


<-- Wishes he was back at school.

I made the dumb, dumb, stupid :) mistake of using it on a friend's new machine when he wanted to keep his SDRAM.. seems it was cheap memory anyways. It was also peppered with the usual problems people hate it for. Do you know what revision you have?

revision 5.

i've had no problems at all. statistically, it's been more reliable than my dell. (0 crashes to 3, but i havent been using it anywhere near as much). i have since given it to my father.

only thing at all i'm thinking of doing is removing the chipset heatsink, spreading some thermal paste and liquid nailsing it back on. but i havent had any instability issues enough to even warrant that.

i'm running an xp2400+ on the board. seems pretty stable and snappy to me. oh, and 2x256 crucial pc2100 ddr memory :)

My gf and I decide that we'd have a get together at our apartment, so, I guess I'm not going out either. Most people we know are already in Vegas, despite what I told them of passed experience about Vegas and New Year...

Ive been invited to like 5 different places and parties, but i dont think i want to go out. With all the of Christmas crap over with, i just wanna stay in and relax. Besides, with all the drunk drivers out? I like my car, i think ill keep it in one piece. When i was little, i thought it was a big deal, but now... Its just another day.

Going out is costly and a big pain in the ass ordeal. yes, I'm getting old. We're having some people over for drinkies at home.
