psipsyPC update: Memtest86 is telling me that all of my memory is bad, including the stick that wasn't installed when the computer started going wonky. Suspicious indeed. For the hell of it, I called up CompUsa to see if they could test individual memory and judging by their response I may as well have asked them to butcher a roadkill deer. It was a response that I had fully expected.
There is a computer show coming up this weekend, I might take my memory there and see if someone there can check it out. If the sticks check out ok, then it's either the mobo or processor, and Socket 478 stuff isn't as prevalent in the retail market as it was the 2 1/2 years ago that I bought this machine, which I dare say was edging towards being obsolete back then and I might as well build a new system. Then again, if I can find suitable parts in a closeout sale, I'd be able to salvage most of what I got instead. Maybe I'll find a battery for my powerbook. Mostly musing aloud here, as I have some solid ideas in place, but suggestions are welcome.
This week has been going slow for me. It felt like Friday should have come two days ago.
Aaaand one more week until the last episode of Higurashi. Three days if I settle for the raw. That show's been one wild ride from start to finish.
