Journal Crazieeman's Journal: Bloggish updates 1
With the coming of Halo PC and rave reviews about it being much better than the XBox, (Or as some have already put it - PC, the way it was meant to be played), I decided to run out and upgrade my PC's RAM. I had originally intended to have 768MB PC2700, but one of the 256 sticks were bad. (My going rate on RAM is 1 in 4 craps on me)
So I bought a 512MB PC2700 Centon. I'd never heard of them, so why not give them a try?(Kingstons were sold out all over the city, and nobody carries Crucial). PNY seem to be the ones that die on me all the time. I intend on replacing the system with an A64 FX when they get the unbuffered memory controller (I believe 939 pin version), and reasonable $500 or lower (US) prices.
The fun part of having 1024MB of RAM on a 98 Second Edition system was watching it go berserk trying to boot up. Out of memory was a pretty good error message. I had to adjust the vcache settings, but now she works beautifully =)
I had finally gotten around to replacing my Camaro's air filter. Damn that thing was dirty. I bought a K&N, and had a hell of a time getting it into the airbox. I don't think I need to use the gasket seal. I wasn't expecting the performance jump to be really all that noticeable, but I was sure proven wrong. Pulling out of the AutoZone lot and onto Broadway, the only way I can put it, is I told the car to jump with the pedal, and it sure as hell did. Roared to life and sped down the street. Hehe. Almost have to learn how to drive it again.
My efforts to apply to Blizzard Entertainment appear to have failed. I have not received any phone call, and I sort of doubt they'd send a letter concerning a resume. Ah well, there are still a few positions I can nab, I just need to apply myself to quickly learn CSS, brush up on SSI and Javascript and whip up a nice site with it. I won't be able to really do that until I cancel the service with the current service provider and shift the domain to another one that has infinitely better service. The current one doesn't even offer SSI! I couldn't believe it, I wrote out a bunch of crap and uploaded it, and was treated to a pile of SSI code.

Centon used to be all we bought... (Score:2)
Never really had a problem with them. We used to have a sales rep from there also, although he was gone after the prices fell.
I agree with you on the crucial, that's all I buy now. Their shipping is very fast. If I order something in the morning sometimes the two day shipping gets it to me the next day.
