my computer is dead.
i attempted to change the video card, but the new one didnt fit (pci-e, i didnt realize). unfortunately, as i attempted to reinstall the old video card (to get me by for the time being) the poor thing didn’t make it through the operation. i did everything i could, but the old thing just couldn’t hold on.
he is survived by a fourth generation ipod, collection of dell monitors, and a 120gb hard drive. he will be missed.
the new motherboard, processor, etc. ships tomorrow morning, so i should be back on my virtual feet by next week.
