Finally got our new computer system. It rocks. I was not planning on upgrading as much as I did, but once I got there, I could not resist. Here is a rundown of the specs--
AMD 3000+ processor
1 gig ram
100 gig hard drive
256 meg vid card
I have been playing Unreal 2004 with it and everythign runs great. No lags on the vid or anything. I have not started to overclock anything yet even though it will be very easy to. I just really don't have the need to yet. We will see when the Sims 2 comes out if I have to overclock anything.
Last Monday, I went to the first funeral I have been to in years. I don't have a problem with dead bodies at all. I grew up in a funeral home. My grandfather owned one and I remember playing hide and seek in the coffins :) The thing I hate about funerals is the need to make everyone cry. I don't think the guy doing the service was going to be happy until he had everyone there crying. He just kept hammering the family with quotes from the bible about life going on without the deceased. I wanted to tell him to get on with it, but I restrained myself. After the funeral, we went to the family get together, also know as, "The Let's Get Drunk Party". The problem I had with that was all these high schoolers there getting drunk and wasted on what ever they were smoking. They were all down in the basement doing who knows what, then driving off to get more beer or drugs or whatever. It is amazing that no one got hurt or killed or arrested. As far as I know, but we left after a few hours and went to a friends house around the block and had a great time over there. Thanks again for dinner :)
Time to go, have to work on a science project with my youngest daughter :)
