The element of success.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will
not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent.”

Conroe heaven

What a way to start a sunday afternoon, Eating fried chicken and a hamburger in front of my NEW conroe CPU rig! aaaah

*sigh

Upping the ante

Currently I am in the process of upgrading my rig( pc), in the quest of learning Maya 3d modelling and animation, I have concluded that it is wiser and nicer to have a powerful pc at my disposal,

My Pc specs where:

pentium4 2.8 ghz cpu with 1 mb L2 cache 533 fsb

asrock 775vmi yadda yadda (ass-rock) p4 motherboard with built in lan/audio/Video agp 8x

gigabyte 6600gt 128- bit 128 mbram ddr3

500 watts psu

160 gig sata Seagate hard drive

a very sturdy and durable asus cdrom drive, using it almost (6 years now)

and pioneer dvd writer and reader


Pretty decent setup up a year ago, plus what I do with maya, my setup was sufficient enough, but suffice to say, I am a nerd and a geek at these type of things and once the upgrade bug bit you... There's no turning back. LOL!



My estimated pc upgrade:


core2duo e6600 2.4 ghz 4 mb l2 cache (Swhing! :D)

msi c2 duo Mother board, pcie-16x, 2x ddr667 slot

1 to 2 gigabytes of ddr667 ram

gigabyte 7600gt 512 mb ddr3 (hehehe (:< )

same hard disks, dvd and cd roms and psu and even the 6 year old tower! ;)



this new upgrade path is only minor in my real upgrade plans, tho almost everything got replaced, performance wise, my rig will be at least 2x to 4x faster than my previous one! Which is pretty good for me cause pc lag is what I hate the most! I'm now struggling between blowing my wad now or wait for January to get those components (I heard from the grape vine there will be a pc drop in stores.)
