11/07/2005 Archived Entry: "FELING SMRT"

I feel pretty smart today. I was called upon to answer a question about Macs (yes, they can get to our NAS-hosted file shares) and to help out with the security structure for a user-administered server (it was a mess and I fixed it). I can happily say that today has been a good day.

I received my new shiny toys and assembled them, and all appears well. Rendering performance is way up, but game and benchmark performance is down, because apparently I've been running my RAM out of spec this entire time. I set it properly on the new motherboard and immediately lost a noticable amount of performance in Battlefield 2, so this 3-3-3-8 stuff just doesn't cut it. This also explains why any attempt at overclocking the past two computers in which this RAM has been used has ended in immediate failure. I've purchased some new quick and shiny OCZ stuff, which should arrive later this week, at which time I will become more powerful than Hammer Bros.-suited Mario inside of Kuribo's shoe.
