Seems as thought this is normal these days but as per Rattlesnake i to am having problems of the PC kind.

This time thought its "Problems of the PC Kind" the special edition directors cut. So if i'm not here for a few days more its cos its,,,,how shall i put this,,,,FUCKING SHAFTED !!! LOL

Firstly i bought a new graphics card and processor which is always a fatal mistake for a PC bulider cos something always goes wrong. Not the fact that it took about 5 hours of online forum reading to even make sure that the processor was supported on my MB.

Turns out that the Athlon XP2000+ 0.18 micon only is supported and not the Athlon XP2000+ 0.13 micron. Or Palamino is and Thoroughbred A or B is not. Well thinking that would be good enough i went out and purchased the correct one.

Trouble is i reccon my Raid Array which nicely mirrors all my data so its safe and sound can't handle the new processor speed. So bye bye data and here i am... The mirror only served to copy the data coruption across both drives. LOL. So whats the fucking point of a Raid 1 mirror???

To use a technical term, ITS PANTS.

Anyhow i'm copying, defragging, checkdiscking, partitioning, formatting, rebuilding and gernerally using gigawatts of power making my data reappear as if by magic (or bloody good luck, i can never remember which it is on PC's)

Anyhow the first thing i did whilst installing the service packs for 2k was to get my ISP back up and running so i could spread my misfortune to you all. As the saying goes,,,"a problem shared is a problem doubled" or is that halved, i think the doubled one is for if you tell the wife.......

Have a good weekend, cos i won't.

Cheers
