So, I go to return the card, and figure I would just get the 9600 … welp, the 9200 worked in a P2 he had there, so it’s my computer that didn’t like the card … So I figure, well .. how much to upgrade the motherboard? Got one for a P3? Laugh! So, got me a motherboard that supports my old SDRAM and a used P4 1.8 … It will be faster than my P3 1.0 and it will support the 9600 AGP 8x card … Now, will the operating system complain when I do this switching? Well, it’s Windows, right? Bah! BTW, this is it for a while … this was the culmination of my tip money … It has been depleted …

Finalized and Fires
I think this is the layout that I will be sticking with … I messed with the CSS enough that I like the way the text flows, and I re-arranged the order of the boxes on the left by updating the template … The colors are a mixture of grays with the ICUHost blue color for some of the text … I tried to stay relatively dark (for the eyes) but still keep it sharp …
The fires from yesterday … New iMac keyboard; I bought basically the same one, except I guess it’s a newer version .. It sits in its own little clear plastic tray … I am composing this entry using this keyboard, so I will see how many mistakes I make whilst typing this in … So far, so good … I got it at CompUSA and while there in the Mac section, I saw this book “Mac OS X Panther for Unix Geeks” so being that that’s where most of my Mac experience has gone to start with, I figured a book might be nice for some further direction.
Before heading there, I stopped by the local PC store and picked up a Radeon 9200 and an 80G IDE drive for the server that had its 20G crash … I tried installing the card last night and no go … It doesn’t work for whatever reason … So, I will go back and maybe try the 9600 … Didn’t get a chance to install the 80G drive, but I did see some 160G Seagates at CompUSA for $160 … Seems it’s about a buck a gig now … Crazy! Since I had my video card out, I tried an Nvidia card that has been laying around for a while, and that works, so I left that in for the time being …
