Poor AMD

I been reading that AMD is going downhill, too bad because AMD does provide more CPU bang for the buck.

I went to Fry’s hoping to pick up a 4 core Athlon II, I did, got the last X4 640, I think I will have to order the next two because Fry’s may not have something compatible. 

Rarely does one need a 4 core CPU.  But I have been playing with ffmpeg and found a need for some serious CPU cycles.  I can’t afford a new Mobo with a Core i7, but I did have a spare Mobo with everything BUT the CPU and CPU Fan.

Anwyay as I post I am compiling FFMPEG on it, hoping something that took half an hour will take less than 20 minutes.

Family visited me at work today, went home with them before I could hit the gym.

Just gonna do some pushups and situps.
