Leaving work the other day what do I see parked across the road?
Yes that’s an Audi RS8…. it costs some insane amount of money…. look it’s Iron Mans car!

On the 22nd we went out for dinner at a Restaurant called “The Greek”.
You have to book like 2 weeks in advance to get it, but it’s a really nice restaurant.
Afterwards we all walked up to Victoria Square (right in the center of Adelaide) and checked out the Christmas tree.
Check out the full pics here.
I’ve officially become a Razer fanboy!
I have some new gear that I hope will make me kick ass twice as hard in games 
I’m proud to now sport a Razer Lachesis Mouse which replaces my aging first generation Razer Diamondback
Secondly, I’ve replace my old (very old in fact) Logitech keyboard (as seen in Zombie Panic, used to beat the crap out of zombies… lol) with a Razer Lycosa Keyboard.
So far I’m very impressed with my new toys.
Cause we have a complete twit for a communication minister, I’m posting this.
No we don’t need the internet censored, k thx.

About 6 months ago I purchased a Gigabyte P45-DS3P motherboard and 4GB of Adata Ram.
I found though that with the 4GB of RAM installed and confirmed working, Vista 32-Bit only detected 2.5GB.
Think it was some crappy windows problem, I installed Ubuntu 8.04 x86. To my horror I found Ubuntu was only detecting 2.5GB as well. I then tried the Fedora 10 x86 Rawhide Live cd and it had the same issue.
After a couple hours of Googling and looking in the Nvidia control panel (I have a 9600GT), I believe I discovered the problem. The motherboard has three physical PCI-Express 16x slots. To my knowledege, the one slot is for running single graphics cards, where the other two, colour coded orange, are the crossfire ports.
When running in 32-Bit, some addressing space is reserved for those 3 PCI-Express ports, even if there is no card installed. 512mb of addressing space each. 3 x 512MB = 1.5GB Ram. Hang on 4GB – 1.5GB = 2.5GB for addressing physical RAM.
The solution? Install 64-Bit OS
Fedora 10 x86_64, Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64 and Vista x64 all detect the full 4GB.
