Faster, Quadra, faster!

You can never have enough speed when you're rendering video, so, it's time for more upgrades. I just ordered the following cardboard box of goodies from eBuyer, the best online store in the world™.

Yep, it's another 4gb of RAM, coming to a total of 8 (what say you to that, Vista refuseniks?) and two identical hard disks to set up in a RAID0 configuration, effectively turning them into one fast 160gb disk. Too small for a lot of video stuff, and also there's the risk of data loss if one of the disks fails, but that's why I'm only putting Windows and Programs on it, and no irreplacabale data.

Oh, and I just overclocked the bugger some more too. I'm at 3.3ghz, not bad considering that I officially paid for about 2.40ghz.

Oh, and speaking of hardware, my Xbox 360 stopped working, started working again, and now does this:

That's Halo 3, by the way. Go Microsoft! Amazing how I can pump your operating system way past what I've paid for, but your joke of a console can't stand up for a year without imploding into itself.

Please tell me you're running 64bit Windows, otherwise all that RAM will be useless.
