New weapon for my mind

Ah, what a good day today! I bought a new computer this afternoon. It's an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ with socket 939. Here is the complete spec (just in case I lost my receipt from the store :D):

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000 Ghz
Mainboard: Gigabye GA-k8N51GMF-9
Memory: 1 GB (Kingstone 512MBx2)
Harddisk: Seagate 80 GB
CD ROM: 52X
Casing: S/P 6213L
Keyboard + Mouse: As usual
Speaker
Kenika Stabilizer with servo
Monitor LG Flatron 15"

This machine will use Linux and FreeBSD as it's OS. a few days ago, I've downloaded the CDs for x86-64 (Fedora Core 5) and FreeBSD for AMD64. It's interesting to see how those OS operate on 64bit machine. Basically I will use FC more often since it's support for Java is amazing. To be honest, I prefer FreeBSD but this OS has no Java support for it's 64bit machine (only on i386). Possibly there is diablog-jdk available on port tree but I haven't heard anybody succeed in compiling diablog-jdk for AMD64. Gosh, those amazing people at FreeBSD hopefully make it available soon :)

What about Windows, eh? Sure no. Not interested at all. :)

Oh, I forgot something. I should thank someone who have support me and willing to help me gain more knowledge by having more powerful machine for my mind. Thanks a lot. It really means a lot to me and my future career. Hope to see you there :)
