making moves.
yesterday i finally decided to make some upgrades to the pc.
the 2200+ chip was getting a bit long in the tooth, and was really starting to struggle under the weight of things i do with my computer, so an upgrade's really been long overdue. it's just hard spending so much money at one time. much easier to spend it on a pair of kicks and some records, maybe a shirt and some jeans.
anyway. it's going towards my small business tax break, so i'm going for it.
so far, i've put a few hundred into a new motherboard and cpu. i'm dumb stoked, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor (2.2ghz) and an ASUS socket 939 motherboard (which i've read mixed reviews about. pray that my purchase goes well, pc building can be fickle and unpredictable when you're treading the line between budget and power)
i'm also shopping for a dvd burner so i can get...er...my unmentionables off the computer and free up that drive for other more important things. my unmentionanbles are starting to swell to ridiculous proportions. darned torrents.
i still need to holler at a few sticks of dual-channel ram, probably a large capacity drive or 2 (250gb+), a flat panel monitor and new keyboard/mouse combo before it's all said and done, but it all depends on the money. thankfully, this motherboard provides headers for IEEE1394 (firewire), so i can move on to the tascam. this set up, though, should hold me for the next 2 years or so.
i'm thinking about upgrading to winxp64, as well. if anybody knows what the benefit of this would be, get at me.

other than that, though, all is quiet on the music front. still putting together the mother of all beat tapes, and i've got some requests for submission of beats for some new projects. i got a track i did years ago (literally) in my email yesterday with vocals laid, and though i've improved exponentially with technical and creative skills since then, the cut actually sounded good. i'm hoping it makes these guys' album.
first and second week of july, i'll be in the park buying up records. i have alot of beats to get done... just got a ridiculous payload of drums that are ready to be flipped too, so i'm not wanting for inspiration right now, at least not from a sample standpoint.
these next few weeks should be productive. keep an eye on the myspace page.
OH YEAH!
the goodness got a website on the way.
check!
