So, today I went looking with Mom and then Dad for a new mousepad. I convinced Mom to let me get a pretty good transparent/blurry one, but when I tried it out with my new gaming laser mouse, it didn't track right.

So, a little later in the day, Dad and I went looking around at a bunch of stores, including Office Depot, Costco, and then PC Club, my favorite little computer parts store. I suggested it because of this really nice gaming mousepad with blue LED lights on the curvy perimeter, so we went there and looked around.

While we were there, I found said mouse pad, and fans for my HDD, since it was overheating.

So we waited at the cash register to buy them, and he starts making suggestions and reccomendations, since I've constantly reminded my parents that my CPU sucks (single-core 2Ghz), especially compared to the rest of my computer. He looks up my computer and I tell him how I've had the GPU, PSU, monitor, mouse, RAM and more upgraded but NOT the CPU, he looks up what type of CPU I have (socket 939) and says we should get an AMD Athlon X2 4800+ Dual Core, since that's the highest end we can get with my socket type, without replacing the whole motherboard.

So today my dad and I are looking for that CPU online, and if we find it on the cheaps, we're going to buy it. :D

Also, be sure to check out my last blog, I posted it today, too.
