The holidays felt like a blur this year, as I spent most of it at the hospital for holiday coverage. In fact, I must’ve over-exerted myself and caught some viral bug last week. Between my intermittent coughs, Melody and I rang in the new year with our sore throats and hoarse voices as we squeaked “Happy New Year!”. With the snowstorm and both of us being sick, we ended up spending much of our time indoors. This also gave us some time to revisit the post-apocalyptic ruins of Washington D.C. in Fallout 3. The game is very reminiscent of our favorite role-playing fantasy game Oblivion, but with guns. With this new generation of video games demanding more and more processor juice, though, I ended up overclocking my 2-year-old processor. So far, I’ve got my 2.4Ghz Athlon X2 running at 2.75Ghz using an 11x multiplier with minimal voltage increase. My hope is to get it up to 3Ghz with a little more tweaking. I’ll just have to be careful not to push it too far, as I often end up doing to myself.
