Assembly 2009 – Day 3 – 15:12
Music compo underway. Some nice electric tunes, such as Pump My Porn, by renoise.
Just went out to Jimm's Pc-Store to get a new graphics card, an ASUS Ati Radeon 4850, 512MB DDR. It should serve me well, considering the fact that i have a crossfire motherboard, meaning that i can just get another one later. This isn't as good as the GTX 260 that i was going to get, but on the other hand, this is 50 bucks (at least) cheaper, and is better supported by my motherboard. I'm not too sad about my choice.
I was looking in to GPU cracking of WPA keys, and found that using a tool called Pyrit, which utilizes ATI Stream, and NVIDIA CUDA technology, you can do about 7800 PMK's per second where as on the 260 you can do about 9000. In 3DMark 2006 there's about a 1000 point difference between the two, which is reasonable.
I could have gotten a similarly priced 250 Nvidia, but that's basically a hopped up 8800 or something. Which i have now. This card is going to my dad.
I'll install the card once this compo is done.
