i've run CS 1.6 on a 550MHz laptop with 256MB of RAM and no 3d processor, and it got 15-20fps. I'm sure this thing can do better.

Last year for Black Friday, I realized that there wasn't really anything that I wanted, but I have been going for 7 years or so and decided I should go anyway, and make a big deal out of it. So me and a few friends got in the Best Buy line at 11:30 or so, with a table, chairs, poker chips, a...

i guess ill get that AP.... i hate having to call these people up and make an appointment to do something it would only take me 10 seconds to do.

i recently moved into a new apartment where the only "broadband" available is a sucky wireless connection. when i moved in, a guy from the ISP had to come in and set up the wep encryption key for me... i asked him if he could write down the key for me becuase i tend to reformat quite often, but...

I'm a simple man, and I like my animated .gifs the same way. #2!!!

I would like an invite also if there are any more out there :) [email protected]

I guess I'll take A Fistfull of Dollars... And is that Clerks thing the Clerks Cartoon?

doh! /me sees if he can cancel that geforce6800NU he just ordered

[email protected] All my friends call me that... Now its official I guess. :)

Heh, looks like that CCNA certification is starting to pay off :) 1600

I could really use that case, but I think I'm gonna skip this one because I've had some bad experiences with Tiger Direct in the past.

So, uh... What kind of switches did you order? :D

the current arrangement is going to continue production as a sort of budget range chip, while the new 939s are going to be the top of the line stuff. but if you ask me, the 754s are still damn good and theres not a big reason to wait unless you want the real good shit.

I once heard that if you leave a page on the forums up over night, the avatars will come to life and steal your soul. Sounds pretty evil to me.

i hate anything kind of text that deviates from the default text. heck, i say we get rid of that horizontal line and replace it with good ol fasioned ----------------------------

check out pricewatch.com. there are some motherboards listed for under $30 that support PC133. of course there are also more expensive ones, I don't really see the point in spending more than $50 for a mobo for a Duron 750.

I know what your talking about. I've seen this the most in big open games like Battlefield. But I've also always seen an accompanying flickering of the HDD LED, which leads me to believe it's my slow harddrives :) Which gets me thinkin... Maybe I should just get the 1024 and disable my...

Alright, I'll buy 1x512 now and more when it becomes necessary. Thanks guys!

Memory FAQ is butchered and I couldn't find it searching, so I guess I'll ask you. I am going to be building a A64 system very soon, and I was wondering how much memory I should get? It will mainly be a gaming computer, and will most likely have dual channel capibilites. It will also most...

heh, the funny thing is that i HAVE gotten a ticket from my school for using too much bandwidth :)

ah, this is perfect timing for a mod i have planned, thanks!

yay, more free magazines!

I miss the post count as well. As I've been browsing the forum today, my eye still looks right below every poster's name and expects to see a number... But nothing is there :(

eh, one final bump

I am about to reformat and I have a 2gig partition set aside on another drive that I plan to put a 512MB PF on. My question is this: What should I use for the cluster size? I don't plan on having anything else on there, just the paging file... I figured I should use something larger than the...

ok, i guess ill head over there because i still have a few more questions. thanks! heres the link to the new thread if anybody is interested: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=736651

when formatting with NTFS you can chose an allocation unit size, which im guessing is the same idea as cluster sizes in fat32. you can chose values ranging from 16-4096K.

i usually wait until i can get good deals on stuff that is decently better than what i have. i used to do this every year, but now im just another broke college student so its been slightly over two years... and its driving me crazy. my system can run most games decently (2000XP, GF 4200), but...

I learned alot from reading this thread, thanks guys. I know this thread is a bit old, sorry. I am about to reformat and I have a 2gig partition set aside on another drive that I plan to put a 512MB PF on. My question is this: What should I use for the allocation unit size? I don't plan on...

ROCK!!! I've been wanting to see some of the movies on the Horror collection for some time, looks like I finally get my chance. Plus I get bonuses like Nosferatu, House on Haunted Hill, Dementia 13... Horror movie heaven! Thanks!

argh, i was actually hoping it was the Kevin Costner movie :) That poster would have gone great on the "Wall of Shame" in the dorm room. Yup, it would have gone right next to that Care Bears poster....

its back up for $20. i know the Dreamcast is much, much cheaper, but a modded xbox is better for emulation... not only do i have several thousand classic roms on mine, but i can also play PSX games. w00t w00t :)

the modchip for my xbox was probably the best $50 i ever spent. you can "backup" xbox games, put linux on it, and best of all, put all of your old nintendo roms on it :)

argh, i cant edit the post... what i meant to say was that i love people who tell me about free magazines :)

i love people who tell me about great strength... they are fucking TREMENDOUS AND WITH GREAT STRENGTH!!!

thanks, i cant even keep up with all the free magzines i get now, but free is free :)

heh, if you think the Zen is like a brick, you should see my Archos Jukebox :) Its big, but it was cheap as far as mp3 players go when i bought it last year.

thats why shes the Trailer TRASH Princess, and not the FinderOfFreeUber1337[H]ardStuffs. Always appreciated, tho :)

4lbs should last my cat quite a while. thanks!

eh, hes a cheeze. what do ya expect?
