Crap...

Well my laptop is dying FAST...Seems like it's taking hits from all parts: Video Card/Processor/HDD (this has been slowly dying for a while.)  I had to wipe my computer yesterday and spent the day before transferring everything to dropbox (Awesome service! If you don't have one use my link and we both get extra space! http://db.tt/tpYMfkG or you can be mean and just go to dropbox and sign up yourself, but then you don't get extra space either.)  Sadly I lost my windows 7 install and now I'm back on Vista...but at least my computer is hanging in a little better.  I'm looking at a new laptop atm, I think I'm going to get a Sony Vaio EC series Sony EC series Specs: 1GB V.Ram (ATI 5650 if I remember correctly,) 500GB (7200RPM) HDD, 8GB Ram, Intel i7 2.88GHz processor, windows 7 professional (spending the extra $50 so I can select Fresh start and I don't have to have all the extra crap companies always stick on computers....screw AOL..I have a horror story I'll share another time about them.)

In other news I did some more work on my video game framework this weekend, not enough to really make a post about, but it's slowly getting better.  The FFXI marathon went well too, didn't get done exactly what I wanted but I am working towards it.

  3. If it wasn't for gaming I would recommend you put linux on. It generally runs a lot smoother and faster on laptops. Unless of course the problem lies with the hardware...
