shakedown phase

Well, I think I've got most of the core stuff set up on Freeman, so now it's time to put it through the paces by installing games. I think I'm going to warm up with some SimCity 4 and then really test this thing by installing Half-Life 2 tomorrow. While this is going on, I'm also doing 24-hour endurance runs in Gran Turismo 4. I can multitask my gaming!

Freeman was running hot when I was chilling on the deck, so I found some software that actually throttles the CPU to what's needed. Hopefully that will cool things down a bit. Overall, I am very happy with the new laptop so far.
