~~new graphics card~~

woh00.. bought a new graphics card on monday.. sapphire radeon x800xtpe.. the BEST fastest card available in the retail channel right now.. other places selling for 1000plus, but i found this shop in sls at fifth floor.. 'DAT'.. selling only 915.. actually going there to buy only inno3d geforce 6800gt selling for 705 only.. then in the end decided that the radeon x800xtpe is much value for money as it's betta and offers 2year warranty compared to inno3d 1 year.. then i bargained abit and got the price down to 903.. hehez.. shiok.. paid liao go home install and its working great! got a great boost in my 3dmark03 and 3dmark05 scores.. more than double than my previous sapphire radeon 9800pro flashed to xt.. tried doom3 and i having much betta framerates now.. able to run smoothly at 1280*1024 at ultra high quality and 4*aa 8*af.. hehez.. damn happy.. just that i wanna overclock it more but think betta not cos i neber install a good aftermarket cooler.. think when get new com when ord then at the same time buy new cooler and fix on it and then overclock, since now overclock also not much improvement cos there is a bottleneck on my cpu as it's only 3.0c.. wanna overclock but sianz, intel to me is lousy overclock also no use so dun waste time and money and effort to install betta cooler to overclock ba..
been reading reading reading up lots lots lots stuff on a64 sc939 overclocking and the components to buy like aftermarket coolers and rams.. really excited at overclocking.. my newfound interest now.. will wait til ord then buy, assemble pc altogether by myself, then overclock it to high speeds.. including my graphics card.. now becoming more and more knowledgeable about overclocking pc and the impt stuffs to buy to put inside.. ;)
told my dad bout buying new com, assembling it altogether, and overclocking it and he din say much.. just said good learn to assemble can help ppl do and earn money like those ppl in sls.. then told him today, he discouraged me from buying and we quarreled.. haiz.. really hate quarreling with him.. he said he just say *nicely* ask me not to buy but i raised my voice at him.. to me, it might be the case, but i think i remembered his tone was very unkind as well.. that's why i raised my voice.. i din ask him for money for my 800 monitor, 600 speaker, 100mouse, 409 graphics card, and this present 903 graphics card.. and yet he.. forgot wad he said already.. just said sthg i disliked.. then say i so much money can pay for the broadband and hp bills myself liaoz.. i was damn angry at him, i guess if i dun start paying myself, he will use this as a 'ba bing', and always raise this up whenever we quarrel in future.. so might as well i pay, dun owe him anything.. then he cannot say anything at wad i buy liaoz.. my mum dun say anything he always kpkb.. hate that.. next time when i become father liaoz and my sons or daughters is 20yo liaoz will let them have their way.. i will talk nicely and just use a soft approach if i wanna tell them anything, unlike my dad.. so rude!!.. can't stand him.. anyway i dun feel like talking to him liaoz.. anyway i dun NEED at all to talk to him.. we have nthg to talk.. talking with my mum is much betta.. hmmph~@@!!!
tmr got bbq jc friend gathering.. wonder how things work out.. maybe they will be staying over at my place.. see how goes..^^
