I received the 512mb dual channel kit of PC4000 Kingston HyperX memory yesterday. I put it in and it runs beautifly. FarCry really makes use of the memory. My score in Aquamark didn’t improve though. I have to get a new video card for that to get better. I guess that will be my next purchase after I pay bills.
I decided not to buy a dvd burner and digital camera. Perhaps around christmas time I will order those, depending on cash. I did order the seagate 200gb sata hdd for myself and a Linksys WRT54G wireless router for a client of mine. I also ordered Microsoft Office XP Stnd Edition as well. The client just got a new dell laptop and needs office to work with documents. This client is turning out to be real good for me. He keeps having questions and items that need to be fixed or ordered.
I received the title to the truck yesterday from my dad. I went to the town office and registered the truck. $275 excise tax. A lot of money, but I had assumed it would be in that price range and budgeted myself accordingly. I decided to get a vanity plate, so I had to drive to Augusta to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles after getting my truck registered at the town office. $63 for the vanity plate and registration fees. The plate will be NAILBAT. Figured that would look good on my truck. I think I will get some magnetic signs for my truck with my business name and such. Free advertising basically.
I’m so happy that finally got done. It is a big step in the right direction and I’m glad my dad finally got a clue.
In other news, my teeth are killing me. I think my four wisdom teeth decided together to come out all at once. OUCH!!! I rescheduled my dentist appt sooner to get them taken care of. I also have to get a cavity filled. And I’m not the only person with dental problems. I had to take my cat to the vet today. Turns out most of her teeth are rotten and have to be removed. So that was another reason I decided to cut down my computer budget to bare essentials. RAM, HDD, and Dell GB switch. I just couldn’t pass up that deal on the 16port Dell gigabit switch for $84 after rebate. Dell does good with sending out rebates, so I shouldn’t have to worry. That switch will be awesome for the lan parties.
A few other things I ordered was more PC133 memory for three computers at the Oakland Library, a couple gigabit D-link network cards, and new batteries for an APC SU1000NET UPS I have that a friend gave me. I ordered that friend batteries for his UPS as well.
