Thank You for that gopher.. Fingers Crossed is just as good as prayer or good thoughts best wishes what ever a person wants to give i gladly accept... this is reminicint of what happened the last time I got very sick started off as a flu cold bronchitis which ended up with my going to hospital with liver failure...
but this time I am keeping a very close eye on my skin and eye colour i have another blood test in 2 days to check my Liver enzyme levels I can have them check my iron or is it haemoglobin for my anaemia, which is probably liver related the iron pills seem to be helping lots with that. being anaemic is a common problem for those with liver troubles.. Other problems are low Phosphate and sometimes magnesium levels . The real test is the IDR i think thats what it is called and my billy rubin... those are the ones one i need to be really worried about.. March 12 I do have that appointment with the Liver Spetgwpdt I can talk about another biopsy which they will probably want to do in June or July 1 year since the last one to see if the liver is recovering or getting worse.. if it is getting worse what other options I have. right now surgerical intervention is nto a must but if my liver shows more fibrosis than last year a transplant will have to be a viable option cause this liver can not take much more crap on it thats for sure.. and even talk about a gastric bypass i guess. dropping 300 lbs would go a long way to improving my health thats for sure..
enough of this talk it is depressing me..
I am Gopher I spent some of it building a computer . which i am now using . it is blazing fast .. I had been procrastinating since early December.. it's a e8400 dual core over clocked to 3.6 ghz running at a cool 34 and under a full gaming or encoder load it hits a high 40 - 45 ... this sweet little chip is not locked it lets me under clock it or over clock it at will, IT was worth the extra money.
There are Faster and Better chip sets on the market but I do not want to upgrade to those just yet. Next year should be soon enough a hex or opti core CPU ( that's 6 to 8 cores) with 4 to 32 GB ram and Windows 7 that will be the system to see. 2 Video cards in a sli or crossfire set up... I just don't know. Waiting to see where prices will be and what Intel actually release's so far it is all rumour and hearsay...
this time i have a chip that was designed for what it does. I will not push it higher though others report it flys a stable 4 ghz and cool this is all on air by the way.. imagine how this chip would fly on water cooling or a nice little freon cooler air con pc... sheet.. those with the ( [a href="vny!://www.xpressar.com/product/rsc100/rsc100-features.html"]click here to see the case i want for a air conditioned pc set up [/a]) there are folks who report they have it there PC's OC Stably to a high 8 ghz
OMG i could sweat raw Louisiana hot sauce biting my nails worried about a claustrophobic system failure over-clocked that high but just think of the adrenalin woot.. [span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;"]ANY-WAYS 3.6 IS FAST ENOUGH FOR ME RIGHT NOW. WITH MORE POWER AND A NICER COOLING CASE I WOULD LOVE TO PUT THIS BABY THROUGH ITS PACES AND START RUNNING BENCHMARKS. WHAT IS REALLY HOLDING ME BACK IS THE COST OF A DECENT POWER SUPPLY RIGHT NOW AND I DO SO WANT TO UPGRADE TO A MUCH NICER VIDEO CARD.. SAY THE RADEON 5000[/span] sorry don't mean to shout but I feel like a kid at Christmas standing in the toy store..
I Just don't have the power for it.. . an asus p5pkl-cm mobo it was a cheap i can not afford the better board the board i want is 2 to 3 bills
the cpu i want would cost over 4 bills ouch. and there is no real need for me to go with a quad core i7 system right now. next year would be soon enough to think of those.. besides i got all these older parts at very good prices this wicked gamer case for 10 dollars normal cost 90... so I have no real right to be complaining about things yet..
so I built this system a very good budget pc sufficient for my needs.. 3.6 ghz oc e8400 2 GB patriot ram can do up to 4 but XP is not optimal for the upgrade. this ram is pulled from my older acer system the cpu was a Christmas gift. the1 tb hd lot of room for music and movies and games. pulled from my older system a older ati x1300 256 mb or is . .. got to go upgrade the power supply to take full advantage of this system they recommended a 450 watt PS though 600 + would be better for the 5 additional fans i would like to add a additional 5 hard drives but I want to set up a raid system and this MB doesn't support that.. the extra USB devices speakers camera's etcetra..... i only got 300 watt of power insufficient for everything i want but most of that stuff can wait till I am working again. ... i have only 1 hd optical LG DVD Burner not blueray to expensive i can not justify that cost... this machine flys... it recoded a divx movie to wmv in 15 minutes, a 2 hour movie ripped from dvd to divx in less than 45 minutes at HD settings.. and i could still surf the net 25 web pages open ( all on OC and reviews of case's video cards mb and PS I am really trying to learn as I go.. + I can play games and listen to my own music...
nothing I have done so far has slowed this baby down.. jezze Imagine if I had the money to spend on the equivalent Quad core CPU ( it was over a 1000 dollars )
total cost 150 Canadian dollars the other parts i had stripped from my other systems.. I think I need to clean house I now have 8 pc cases and ps and parts strewn about the wrecked work room / lving room.. and most of it is obsolete. it can all work with a bit of time to put it in a pc case and install some os on to those hd.. hmm i have Linux ubuntu I should build a half dozen PC's donate them to a church for the tax write off... well i will do that later if i feel up to it...
when i get back to work I will buy a better Power-supply so I can run this thing at full power and do some Benchmarks.. I should be able top get to a full 4 GHZ stabaly from all accounts that I have been reading. sighs.. but some things will have to wait. I should be happy with a 30 percent OC on just air and a300 watt power supply but damn it i want bigger faster and stronger.. Well I got to have something to work for right =)
for now back to resting. rest fluids wat else is a person supposed to do when sick.. clean this mess i guess any one got a shovel
