For the first time in 9 months seems like we suddenly have season-appropriate weather. It's 80 F outside, I see people strolling in t-shirts and dresses. Just ate a chocolate croissant. Slept in today. Have to go pack up to my other place this afternoon, get ready to move the remaining items into the new apartment later this week.

I played with my K45 box last night, installed an old HIS X1550 PCI card (yes PCI, not PCI-E, that's the only thing the box supports.) Unfortunately the performance under Aero wasn't stellar, so I had to take it out, bah. So, I'm running on the built-in mobo chipset again, an ancient Intel 945G, which posts a respectable 3.4 under Aero.
