I met up with a guy this afternoon and bought from him an AMD AthlonXP 1800+ Palamino CPU! It was the exact CPU I had spent days searching for. And bought it at a price of $85. I think he’s a gentle person for he speaks very softly.
And so, I spent an hour dismantling my computer and vacuumed all the dust [:(]. Since I left the side of my computer casing open, it gathers a lot of dust very quickly. There was a thick layer of dust on my rams cos the exhaust from the HeatSink Fan (HSF) for my CPU is blowing at it. I made a paper pipe so the HSF would suck air from the outside which is cooler. Without that pipe, it would be recycling the hot air inside the casing.
Damn I’m hungry… [X(]

1am: Bahhh… The new CPU hates me. [:(]. My computer keeps hanging especially when I am watching anime. Back on my 1GHz thunderbird now. Spent the whole day troubleshooting and even removed my Radeon 9800PRO card in case it was insufficient power. I’m mentally frustrated and exhausted…. The chip still has warranty till August. And the place where the guy bought it is near my workplace. Gonna go down tomorrow and have it replaced. Sigh…
