Computer work

Posted by iMini - June 6th, 2009


So, I recently got a job, and I've started slow, but surely, doing what I've wanted to do for quite some time now...

Upgrading my computer, I first bought 4GB of RAM with 2 x 2GB sticks (1066Mhz, DDR2), a huge update on my 1GB of RAM (2 x 512mb sticks) but my copy of Vista is only 32bit, meaning it only recognises 3.2GB of it... Secondly, I yesterday bought online a Nvidia Geforce 9500GT 1GB Graphics card, a huge upgrade from Nvidia Geforce 7600GT 128mb (2 generations up and 8 x more memory). So far, that's all I've got, next I'm looking for a CPU upgrade, from a 2.3Ghz dual core processor, to something closer to a 2.7Ghz dual core processor, maybe even quad-core (as if I can ever afford it).

Yup my computer is starting to look like a half-decent gaming rig, eventually I can even imagine I'll start adding lights and liquid-cooling.

My job is only usually on weekends, earning me £4.10 per hour on Mon - Sat and £5.00 per hour on Sun, and £6.50 on bank holidays, I work 9 - 5, so this means I earn about £68 every weekend, if you actually did the maths yourself, you'll see it's abit more than that, but I have 30 mins everyday taken off for lunch.
