I know that people have started buying Intel i7 processors and also there will be i6 along with i9 processors as well. Well, I just bought Intel C2Q processor, Q9550. Reasons being that Intel just giving some price slashes to their processors and I am not that willing enough to buy a new LGA1366 motherboard along with DDR3 ram modules. So, it’s a quad core cpu. It costed me RM 794 and previously it was very expensive (a month’s pay? lol). Given that the latest version is using 45nm, that’s freaking nice. More over, I decided to buy a new casing as the old PowerLogic casing didn’t have much room for additional fans. Yep, I bought Cooler Master CM 690 along with several more fans.

I was having a few problem with my motherboard. Most prominent problem was if I shutdown my computer to change peripherals or something and then I try to boot it up, it won’t get into the BIOS at all. The trick here is that I had to cool down the computer abit with any power cable attached being pulled out just to boot up my computer again. But for a few days ago, it won’t go past BIOS or anything as the motherboard just having all it’s fans running as fast as possible without any sign that it will go into my windows. I’ve tried pulling out the RAMs and any drives attached on the motherboard but to no avail.

So I ended up with buying a new motherboard. As you may have guessed, I am using Intel board now.

Not only that, I also bought a new hard disk drive which is a Seagate 750Gb. Along with a fan for CPU as I am currently using E6600 which I borrow from linkinstreet. I paid RM 795 for all stuffs despite I didn’t buy any CPU. Well, time will tell. I might hunting for Quad core series which I believe will get cheaper sooner as Core i7 series just came out. *grins*

The only problem I faced when transitioning with new motherboard is that my Windows Vista needed to be reactivated. But my Vista OEM only works for one motherboard only. Sad case ;_; It seems I have to resort with other method for time being.

Until next time.
