  Graphics Card Overclocking

  I've finally descovered the great advantage to overclocking your graphics card. I am no longer the factory shipped specs virgin I once was. It's actually pretty simple to tell you the truth. A great program for doing it is nTune for Nvidia's cards. I managed to increase the GPU's Core Bus speed from 560 to 684 mhz, and the Memory bus speed from 700 to 744mhz (this is on a nVidia eVGA Geforce 7600 GT card). Maybe I'll try increasing processor and system memory speed next. I just have to learn how to do it.

  Game Overload!!!

  I just had a shock today. I was counting all the games that I wanted by the end of the year and it turns out that there are at least 31 games that I want. Then on top of that I want a PS3, and a new graphics card. The cost of all this would come out to being about $3000 Cdn. That shocked me. Now I'm actually hoping that some of the games that are coming out will be delayed until next year, or will totally suck so that I don't ahve to get them. There's absolutley no way I can afford all those games and stuff even if I were to pick up a job. Gamespot, rate those games excessivley hard for me. You'd be doing me a favor.

  Subscription Music Dilemma

  Ugh trying to find a good subscription music service is very, very frustrating. I've tried napster, but found that their player has to many problems trying to work with my Mp3 player. I decided instead to try looking at Yahoo! Unlimited. Sure that service worked well. At least for a while.

  

  It seems that all the good music is starting to dissapear. It might just be that Yahoo is trying to reorganize or something, or maybe they're losing all their music rights. Like I was looking for The Prodigy and a good chunk of their music is no longer available for download. I also looked at Maroon 5. Although it shows their songs as being available for subscription download, none of the songs work and I can only hear the 30 second samples.

  I would try Rhapsody because I heard it's better than the other services, but unfortunatley it's not available in Canada. Maybe this is just bad luck, and Yahoo will fix the problems with the songs. If it isn't and indeed all my favorite songs will no longer be available to subscription users I might actually have to go to the dark side of Piracy!*&%$.

  Anyone have any suggestions? Oh yeah, I don't like paying per song because I download way to many songs for that to be a viable option for me.
