Rihards Unplugged

Finally I got all of the stuff that I ordered delivered to me today. A new 3D card, Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro Ultimate, and two sticks of one gigabyte RAM. Needless to say, just like with most other extensive PC upgrades there were problems. My PC wouldn’t even start up at first, until I re-cabled the whole PC, and removed my satellite card.

Stupid PSU probably unable to handle the card properly, so might have to go out and upgrade that as well. But so far it’s coping just fine. So what does this mean? It means that I’ll probably be gaming more often now, which of course means more game reviews for the blog.

In other news, I’m planning on making a new site. A site with multiple blogs, as for the topics, it will be very similar to this blog, but a lot more of it, so more gaming, more news, more anime, more fun.

As I already informed the world yesterday, my 3D card crapped out on my main PC. So I was basically more or less forced to buy a new 3D card, and while I was at it, I also picked up two 1024MB ram sticks, and a present for my brother. Totaling for almost 400 EUR, which is basically the X-Box 360 price. So a forced PC upgrade instead of buying an X-Box 360.

I don’t know yet if it’s for the better or for worse actually. On one hand side I really wanted to get an X-Box 360, if only for Mass Effect (no, I’m not one of those people who have to have an X-Box 360 for Halo, because quite frankly I don’t even like Halo). But on the other hand side, these new PC upgrades should mean I that I should be able to play Crysis, and other hardware hungry game titles that are coming out soon.

Oh yeah, before I forget, anyone interested in two 512MB matched sticks of DDR RAM? If not, I can just always keep them in my PC for nice 3GB of RAM.
