"ENTRY"
so how would this new kit from AMD benefit me.....
well of course there's the usually techie reasoning....to use a quote "... stunning visuals and processing performance in one compact, high performance yet low power complete design."
but that doesn't give the true picture on how this new iteration from AMD will benefit me....you see quite simply it will keep me out of prison! let me explain....
a few weeks ago i became a happily married man, but how short lived that was. as soon as the honeymoon was over we were back home in the new house and decorating of the guest room, kitchen, bathroom etc etc became her all encompassing passion so much so that of late she was spending every waking hour going through home design catalogues/brochures etc. so being a male and being totally uninterested in such nonsense i said in my most loving husbandly voice 'darling you look through your catalougues and brochures and just pick what you like, i'm going to play the computer for a while-and this is where it all went wrong. no sooner was i sat at my beloved pc (the true love of my life) than she appeared and started with the whole...'look this up for me, go to this website does this company have a webpage, wouldn't that go lovely with this, aren't those curtains lovely blah blah bleeping blah' so after a few evenings of this i had a cunning and devious plan. 'darling' says I, 'wouldn't it be great if you had a pc of your own in the living room that you could browse the web on, skype with your friends in Oz (and not run my bloody phone bill through the roof ringing them to tell them about the lovely curtains you've seen) maybe watch a movie or play a game or 2 when you want to relax' she pondered this a while and said 'why yes sweetheart what a lovely idea' 'waaaayyheeeeyyy' says I to myself thinking I'd pulled off a master stroke, then she adds 'but how much will that cost' so i replied 'well i've set a few quid away for an upgrade to my own pc but if i use that and add a few quid more to it i could get you a nice set up for a few 100 quid' it was right there and then that i discovered that honesty is not the best policy, becuase she slowly rose from her mire on the sofa surrounded by catalogues and brochures, calmly walked past me and said 'no darling i've a better idea, your little kitty will help redo the bathroom' no matter my protestations it fell on deaf ears, and i have been left with an ultimatium, hand over the cash or she will withhold certain marital priveleges (one of if not the only perks of married life)
so for the past couple of cold loveless nights i've lay in bed contemplating the many many ways in which i could free myself of what will only be a life of suffering and drudgery, and each time i keep coming to the same conclusion 'MURDER MOST FOUL'.
but low and behold the beautiful folks at OcUK and AMD spring this little surprise, and come to my rescue. so i've got to thinking, if i had this kit and fashioned her together a beautiful, visually stunning, graphically capable little system for the living room, she would come to see that there are so many more intersting things in life, rather than carpets, curtains, bath mats and other such crud. there's the interweb and all it's delights. there's hi def movies from the luxury of the settee, there's excellent quality gaming resolution, in fact there's a veritible cornucopia of wonders awaiting her and all brought together in a small, powerful, though stunningly energy efficient package
so to sum up.....this new offering from AMD would benefit me because it would mean i wouldn't have to stick a red hot poker in my beautiful new wifes ear!!!
