Intel i7 950 Upgrade

Computing

I recently upgraded my CPU to an Intel i7 950 from an Intel Core 2 Duo E8600. I am still trying to figure out why I did though, my old spec worked quite well. I went to a computer fair to buy a NAS box but ended up also coming home with upgrade bits, dangerous places Computer Fairs… Apart from the Intel i7 950 I also bought a Gigabyte Motherboard a X58A-UD3R and a couple 2Gig sticks of Kingston DDR3 RAM, I purchased the X58 board because I read about the issues Intel has with the 1155 Sandy Bridge Chipset. You can read about that over at [...]

Merging Mayhem

Rambling

Merging Mayhem Lately it seems people want to cause me to have an accident, the past two weeks I’ve nearly been run off the road numerous times by people who don’t seem to know what the meaning of MERGE LANES is. It isn’t really that hard, if you’re merging into a faster road or lane you speed up, pick your spot and then merge into the existing traffic, the same goes for a dual lane road becoming a single lane road you speed up or slow down so there isn’t any cars next to you and merge into that single [...]
