I know, another week of 3D artwork.  I suck.  Little Dragon needs to get Furraldo out!

Last Saturday, the RAM supposedly for my laptop came in.  200-pin SODIMM stuff.  I need 144-pin SODIMMs.  Those got RMA'ed back today -- they're in the mail, I don't care what they do with 'em, just don't send 'em to me I can't use 'em.  (If the company handles the return well, I may send some junk RAM up to them, see what I can get)

Ordered the correct ones off of Ebay.  A pair of 144-pin 128 MB SODIMMs for $11 each, $15 total shipping, $2 insurance.  $38 total.  The company had 50+ in stock when I ordered, and they were going.  Needless to say, I'm topping out my laptop.

Pentium II CPU came in today, so I can try to get a motherboard working on it.  If so, neobast gets a brain transplant, a BIOS upgrade, a ton of SCSI drives, and maybe, just maybe, the faster Celeron xaviusarchangel gave me.  If I can find another mobo for a K6-2/450 chip (one that shuts down and reboots correctly in Linux, and I can find the manuals and BIOS for) and a new case, I'll move terry over to it, and relegate mikail and aquin to oddball status.  I wonder if I could sell them to PC Retro...

That Celeron 300A I gave you is famous for overclocking, even to this day. Perhaps the only good Celeron processor ever produced, it can easily be overclcoked to 450 MHz with a good aftermarket cooler on it. Some folks have even gotten it to a stable 500 MHz.
