I got my new computer in the mail today, an ASUS CROSSHAIR Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Windsor 2.0GHz Socket AM2 Dual Core Processor. Not the best processor available but for another 0.6MHz it would have cost me 2.5 times what this did and I didn’t see the point. However the motherboard is the best you can get on the market right now. (Or a week ago when I ordered it, its probably number 3 now).
I have a 1gig PC5300 memory chip that I am going to use in this system. Had it for a while and have yet to use it and now I can. Its a little unique…, watch the video of it here, so unique its a video of it.
Will provide stats and everything on this computer later. But since I am going to be installing it in my current case and this computer is going to my wife I will be computer-less for a day, then I will go to the field. So that may not happen for a while.

In the wake of North Korea’s first successful nuclear test, The Washington Post’s PostGlobal and Oxford International Review are sponsoring exclusive blog responses to a question posed by former South Korean President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kim Dae-Jung:
Why do you think the current US Administration has refused direct negotiations with North Korea, despite North Korea’s proposal to do so?
OIR posed this question to a panel of students from the United States and Asia gathered at Hong Kong University to participate in the Asia Institute for Political Economy, a program conducted by The Fund for American Studies. Click here to read their commentary, in light of recent events: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postglobal/debate/korea/
Because of your interest in the region, you are invited to join the conversation and pose questions to our panel. OIR and PostGlobal would love your input.
