OK, so, technically, this is my 100th blog, but I have something extremely important to tell you all so I deleted a totally worthless old one.

Last I left off in this ongoing series, I had an AMD Phenom 9600 Quad Core (2.3 Ghz clock) and was looking for a way to run Vista right.

BUT, while searching for a new hard drive (which we got) we became convinced that an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4Ghz clock) would be best, for many reasons. It's incredibly fast, cheap and powerful. And there isn't that problem with the patch that drains 30% of the power like the Phenom (!).

We removed the CPU and motherboard, and took them back to Fry's, and found a great motherboard to go with the Q6600.

We're also going to get 64bit Vista, we think, so we can use ridiculous amounts of RAM.

I'll update this when/if we get the new motherboard/CPU and install it, probably from the new system! :D

Everybody sleep well in preperation for the big 1-0-0 blog party! :P
