Unplanned Day and Uncertain Plans
I have the next two weeks already planned so I’ll have something that’ll hopefully help me crawl out of bed each day, but today was the one day my planning failed on. I relied solely on the qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix (Formula One) and it didn’t work since it was early in the morning and I went back to bed afterwards. That meant I spent a good part of today in bed and the rest pretty much doing nothing but feeling like shit. This can’t go on…
On another note, it would appear that the GeForce 9800 GTX will be launched on April 1st, but it will be a very tight battle between a 9800 GTX at default speeds and the overclocked 512 Mb 8800 GTS I had in mind and I actually think the 8800 might win in the tests that are most relevant to me. Of course there will also be overclocked versions of 9800 GTX, but the problem is that it seems to use up a huge amount of power even at default speeds according to what I’ve seen and if that proves true in the end I’ll have serious doubts about getting it. Can’t exactly call myself an environmentalist and get something that uses around 20% more power for only a marginal increase in performance at the same time, can I?
At least I placed an order for the CPU and RAM and was initially told they should have the CPU around April 15th but when they called me after the order was placed they said I should contact them again at some point before then and see if they have a more exact date and if they’ll get enough of them, because there are lots of orders for it placed before mine. Which means I have at least that long to wait either way.
And yes, that means I actually made the order under my name, gave my phone number and talked with them myself, though I don’t really know what I said, was too scared. Of course all of this is because I’m trying to be more like who she’d have liked me to be… And it has no point now since I can’t even tell her about it…
