[H] -OT- Wayne Johnson

2010-07-30 Thread Thane Sherrington
I got this from Wayne yesterday, and I thought 
I'd pass it on, as he is a long time member of the collective.


T

I'm scheduled to have surgery the 2nd week of 
Aug. [Exact date  time to be determined] Part of 
it is to repair where they messed up my right leg 
when placing the 1st cardiac stint 3½ yrs ago  
the other part is to place a stint in the artery 
just above the left kidney that will save the 
kidney  hopefully lower my BP an appreciable 
amount.. I'll be going to a better hospital w/ a 
better Cardiologist in Columbus, OH. If all goes 
well I'll go in one day  have the surgery then 
they'll release me the next day. In the mean time 
I've got to try  keep my BP below critical which 
it hasn't been for a long time. Last week at the 
family Dr. it was 264/122  I thought I was done 
for but stopped some medications seemed to help. 
At least this week by BP was down to 228/128 so 
that's a little better Now all I have to do is to 
keep up the good work w/ the help of my dear wife 
who recently became a CMA [Certified Medical 
Assistant] who graduated 2nd in her class  
Nationally was only in the 99 percentile. vbg Now 
if she could find a job in the middle of this corn field.


Thanks for all your positive thoughts, prayers  wishes

Re: [H] new system build suggestions or upgrade

2010-07-30 Thread Anthony A Riederer
Thanks for the reply.
Is an AMD rig a better bang for the buck? I used to be a lot more up on the
hardware. I used to have a computer business where I did a lot of system
building. I was forced to close it when I suffered my traumatic brain
injury. So I don't have the distribution channels I used to have. Which
sucks right now. So now I am trying to play catch up on the latest hardware.

Come on people I need more suggestions. I value your opinions.
Anthony

I have been really happy with my Intel Core I7-920 on an Asus P6T mb.  I
have an Nvidia GTX 285 video card that is pretty nice.  Although the latest
4xx series probably blows it away at the same price.  I am running Win 7
Ultimate 64 with 6GB RAM.  I am planning on upping the RAM to 12GB soon.

It is time for me to upgrade. If I were to piece something up. What is the
preferences on MB, CPU, Video, etc. Today? I currently have a core 2 Duo
E6300 @1.86 on an Asus P5Q Deluxe, 4GB DDR2 and a Radeon 1600 vid. I know
its dinosaur crap from around 2007 before my brain injury. I am recovered
enough to start playing some games again, etc. Should I upgrade the proc,
and vid on my existing setup which is running fine, or ditch it and start
new again. If I start over what is the collectives recommendations? Price
and performance are important here. I do some gaming, and video stuff etc.
