I want an iPhone 4.  Really badly.  I hate my phone now.  Its a Blackberry Pearl and is the worst phone i have ever had.  I am currently on the 7th one of these phones because the others could not stand up to my use.  For about 4 months i went through one per month.  White iPhone, you need to be released right now so i can get rid of this nightmare phone.  I will never own a Crapberry ever again.

Too many monitors!

So what do i get? There are just so many options out there right now in the monitor department.  I want a monitor that is between 24" and 27".  My preferred resolution would be 2560X1440, but, this resolution monitor is pretty expensive, usually above $600, and the only size if have found is a 24".  Second preferred resolution would be 1920X1200.  These are fairly rare, from what i have found, are usually above $500 and come in 24" and 25".  Then there is the more standard 1920X1080 in 27".  These i can find everywhere for cheap.  Even below $300.  At that price i could get 2 of them, which would be pretty rad.  So what do i do? get 2 cool monitors or get 1 awesome monitor?  TOO....MANY.....OPTIONS!!1

Overclocking an XFX Radeon HD 5870

I am just starting getting into overclocking my computer, and i have been trying to do lots of research and reading up on the subject.  There are a ton of articles and websites out there, the only problem i am having now is compiling all the useful info into bite size pieces. 

Last night, i figured i would try overclocking my graphics card becuase it seemed like it would be the easiest thing to do.  And it was.  The XFX ATI Radeon HD 5870 comes with an overclocking tool built into the Catalyst control center.  All i had to do was boot up the Catalyst control center and adjust the faders past the stock timings and then run a test.  No big deal. My computer past he test no problem and that was it.  I didnt mess with it much besides this or test it in game, but it worked, which i am thrilled about. 

I will try to overclock my CPU and Ram this weekend i think, if i am feeling brave.  I still need to install a larger cooler for my CPU still, but this shouldnt be a problem.
