BIrthday And Xmas wishes.

1.) Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-core Processor QX6850 3GHz
2.) 4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333 Memory
3.) 2x ATI Radeon HD 2900XT 1GB 512bit GDDR4 VIVO Video Cards, Crossfire Enabled

So what does DDR stand for?
Double-Data-Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory.In a computer system. the clock signal is an oscillating frequency used to coordinate interaction between digital circuits. Simply put, it synchronizes communication. Digital circuits designed to operate on the clock signal may respond at the rising or falling edge of the signal. SDRAM memory chips utilized only the rising edge of the signal to transfer data, while DDR RAM transfers data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal. Hence, DDR RAM is essentially twice as fast as SDRAM.

RAM speed works in conjunction with the front side bus (FSB) of a computer system. The FSB is the two-way data channel that sends information from the central processing unit (CPU) throughout the motherboard to the various components, including the RAM, BIOS chips, hard drives and PCI slots. Therefore, a computer system with a FSB of 133MHz running DR SDRAM will essentially perform like a 266MHz machine.

What is a dual Core Technology?
Dual core technology has advantages over double-core or twin-core technology. These latter terms refer to two independent CPUs installed on the same motherboard. Dual core chips take up less real estate on the motherboard, have greater cache coherency, and consume less power than two independent CPUs. However, dual core technology also has its drawbacks.

For software to take advantage of dual core architecture, it must be written to utilize parallel threading. Otherwise, the program functions in single-core mode, using just one data stream or one of the built-in microprocessors. Unfortunately, coding for TLP is quite intensive, as interleaving shared data can create errors and slow performance. Because of these and other issues, a dual core processor does not deliver twice the speed of a single-core processor, though there is a significant increase in performance under optimal conditions. Finally, dual core chips run hotter than their single-core cousins.

Whether a dual core processor is right for you will depend on what you plan to use your computer for. If the programs you regularly require are designed for TLP, then you may benefit greatly from a dual core chip. If not, you may be better served by a high-end single-core CPU.

Today i came home and straight away left

Emo Friday night

This being my final night in Taipei before i head for the wilderness of CHina, let me get some things off my chest.

How do you tell if i don't like a person?
I won't tell the person of his mistakes. Only to smile at him/her as he/she repeats it over and over again till Kingdom comes.

WHy do i buy things for people who i know will never give back?
Interesting question which as yet i haven't found an answer to. You would probably heard of this chinese proverb which translated to english becomes " WIllingly". I know its the direct truth, and i can hear people already saying fuck you Gerard why are you so foolish. Im foolish, and i really believe in one thing its called: "A Random act of Kindness." I have to start somewhere beginning with the homeless below my backpackers hostel. Speaking of which this kick ass place which cost NT$350/ night to stay is located at 115 Kunming ST 2F. 886 2 2375 2877. Ultimate backpackers experience. So when Zeeann gave me a pleasant surprise that day with the pressie i was touched haha.

Oh and if you have anything to sms, just sms me at 97564509.

You can sample my photo taking on Jes friendster.
He is the art director, and someone has to press the trigger right?

Oh by the way you have to watch the uncensored version of Lust, Caution to see how powerful the movie is.

Take care.

Allo Every1,

Taiwan is action pack of sleeping for the first 7 days and i have already spent close to $300 wah kau. WHen i planned nt to even spend like $40 man haha. What a big difference it makes, shit.

Yes im sure every1 will like their presies. I got for Jean too! If u r reading this u will like urs. OF course not forgetting Chin JIalat my fav dream.

Now in Taipei awaiting the grand arrival of the typhoon. My first... We were wondering if we shld brave the strong winds n goto ALishan haha. Cuz every1 is saying we are crazy. We are putting up in the Taipei Backpackers currently lazying ard......

So if JY n Sirui are reading this, go get ur presents fr Cat. Its Air freight there.
