review As work was dull I went to the cinema and saw the 2012 movie this evening.
Overall I was impressed. Its a good action film with a fairly sturdy plot. I found it had the right mix of ingredients necessary for any disaster movie. There were the usual mix of cheesy moments but all were backed up with some stunning visual effects.
I rate it at 8/10 and reccomend to anyone needing a good few hours of well paced action.

Computing Well I decided I wanted a faster cpu in my computer. Looking the options to fit my system I realised I was looking at just under £200!!!
So i thought ‘heck I used to be a mad overclocker’ so lets have a go.
I pushed the front side bus to 400, disabled cpu spread spectrum and set the ram to 1:1 ratio (giving it the stock speed of 800MHz) and rebooted…
To my joy the pc now runs at 2.8GHz instead of its design of 2.33GHz. I ran several stabilty tests (designed to stress the system) and all is well.
So for half an hours reading on my favorite overclocking site, Extreme overclockers I have saved near £200 and a faster pc.
Specs:
Asus P5Q-E mainboard
Intel Q8200 CPU
OCZ 4GB ram kit 2 x 2GB DDR2-6400
BFG Nvidia GTS250 1GB
OCZ Modstream 600 watt PSU
OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD
Windows 7 Professional

General Well looks like I have neglected my blog (again)
Been busy working (Taxi driving in my pet Passat), having just got my Hackney drivers badge back after those seven long years abroad.
Just saying hello to anyone that bothers to read this (and it makes talking to myself while writing more socially acceptable).
