Its a BenQ!

peace ...salam ...


Finaly

Its a BenQ, best offere and specs as well ... couldnt resists it ...


My New Machine

Our 2 days at the PC fair ended up in a chase .... chasing the black BenQ ... wherever you go, its always that white one ... i don't know how many white notebooks are out there untouched ... but i wasn't easy surrendering to the white one ... its just too white i guess ...

after some wild search ... got my self on a Centrino duo 2.0Ghz machine, coz i needed speed, not battery life or what-so-ever ... installed the 2GB RAM directly ... it came with the neat GMA950 and normal high-end specs such as dvd-writer, SPDIF, .... and hey! .. a built-in webcam ... a 120GB HDD

it came empty though, you can only look at the BenQ JoyBook purple logo ... so i opted for the better windows XP ... not crazy to take windows vista ... it will suck up all the resources im trying to buy here ... anyway ... some development will be done using linux, so LINUX RULES!!!

another thing was that it's Driver CD was Vista-Based, so i had to go back and download all of the winXP drivers ... but thanks to the BenQ's Rich-website (free promo to benq)... i could easily get the drivers for XP ...




and with this .... it like a marriage ...

now have to go and learn how to take care of it ... ;)

December ... Wuzaaaaaaaa

Heyyyyy .. yo ....... peace and salam to ye all ...


Its december ... has been a long time since i wrote something here ... was quite busy ... too busy actually ...

but finally we have agreed on a topic for the final year project, it should be something like a Portable Linux Cluster .... its an instant cluster that should be easily prepared, we will analyse performance and stuff ...

and finally ... i should be announcing my marriage ... yah ... quite something like that .... am getting a laptop ... finally ... yahoo!!!

will it be a BenQ joybook? a Compaq presario? or an Acer?? ...
will it be centrino or an AMD?

These are the questions that will be answered tomorrow at the PC fair KLCC 2007


Il be back later, probably writing next article about my new machine (or wife) ...
