thessalianMy music, she loads. She loads slow. I am eternally grateful for my brand new 300GB hard drive.
So, yeah, it was definitely something borking seriously on the Frankenbox, and I'm still betting it's the mobo. Either way, having the new box has solved a whole lot of problems. Probably all of them, but I can't say that conclusively until such time as I get everything installed and moved over from the Frankenbox. Still, FFXI runs smoothly and there hasn't been even the hint of a freeze, and iTunes hasn't even threatened to skip while playing off iStress. So ... yeah, for the most part, looks like problem solved. Still, it's going to take a good long while to get all my music from the Frankenbox over to the new box, never mind the rest of my stuff, so I'm currently running both boxen simultaneously - they're both connected to the network so I can just sit back and let things run their course in that regard.
I'm currently debating whether or not I want to shunt all of my Sims 2 downloads onto the new box. I mean, some of them, not to put too fine a point on it, suck rocks. And then there's all the stuff I don't even use. I'm beginning to think that my best bet is to install all the games, then go back onto my favourite sites and download only the stuff I actually use and like. That'll certainly help with the load time issues, anyway. Not to mention that a fair bit of the old stuff isn't compatible with the new EPs, while some of the better sites are updating their stuff to accommodate, for example, pets. I can get all the stuff I really wanted back easily enough (for example, search Mod the Sims 2 for the term "Silent Hill" - hee!) and the stuff I don't get back ... well, we'll just see if I miss it, shall we?
Now all I need to do (apart from installing that many Sims 2 EPs, not to mention spend a good day or two going through favoured Sims 2 custom contents sites - always kinda fun, really) is decide on a name for the new box. It's currently listed as Palahnuik (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dodgyhoodoo says this is because he had to call it something), and in a way that fits - twisted, wordy and kind of disturbed. However, I think I'll be calling the new box Eshu. Wandering storyteller box. Works for me.
So give me a day or two to sort out the brain transplant, and I'll be rarin' to go on my brand spanking new box! Huzzah!
