CIPWTTKT&GC v0X12 (v18): Makol can't Computer Very Good - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=wingless;35280909]It's telling you to get a better PC.[/QUOTE] Firefox lags on my current rig. When dual Xeons and 5 gigs of buffered ECC memory can't run two tabs, there's something wrong.

[QUOTE=MC3craze;35281426]Okay, I looked through the past couple pages, and saw swagology or something like that. How do you get perma'd after only 7 posts? Posting that cat?[/QUOTE] Sorry, she's my best friend/stalker. She wanted to get banned.

[QUOTE=gman003-main;35281630]Firefox lags on my current rig. When dual Xeons and 5 gigs of buffered ECC memory can't run two tabs, there's something wrong.[/QUOTE] It's telling us to move to Itaniums!

I wouldn't have minded her staying around the forums. Comic relief

[QUOTE=altern;35281654]I wouldn't have minded her staying around the forums. Comic relief[/QUOTE] She's funny as fuck, but others wouldn't have liked her and she would've ended up banned anyways.

[QUOTE=wingless;35281642]It's telling us to move to Itaniums![/QUOTE] Answer me this: Can an Itanium run Crysis? Even on low? (Pro-tip: no. It can't.)

[QUOTE=gman003-main;35281687]Answer me this: Can an Itanium run Crysis? Even on low? (Pro-tip: no. It can't.)[/QUOTE] Only because you'd be emulating IA-32. Give a proper IA64 build of it and you'll have tukwilla blitzing it. (Even though tukwilla is fucking shitty)

makol health update: I think I died in my sleep and my brain has yet to recover my head hurts and idk what to do help [editline]24th March 2012[/editline] I'm going to eat all the tylenol in the house

(Even though tukwilla is fucking shitty)[/QUOTE] Oh, and is there an Itanium that costs less than $900? Answer: No. The cheapest, the dual-core 9310, costs $946 (probably a bit less, now, since that was the release price, but you're still looking at more for a processor than for an entire x86 rig). The cheapest quad-core model will run you $1600+.

Hell, that might even be useable in x86 a virtual machine under Android. [sp]I didn't say anything about speed[/sp]

I used to love using firefox. I can't use it anymore after chrome. Being able to type "face" and enter and go to a website is fucking awesome.

It's mostly that after a day or so, I need to restart it to keep it from getting weird on some pages.

Honestly, Chrome has been utter shit in comparison to older versions (< 10). It's really lost the stability and speed it had and I keep getting massive memory leaks on sites that heavily use javascript. I've been tempted to go back to FF, but it doesn't seem much better.

[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;35281874]I used to love using firefox. I can't use it anymore after chrome.

There's no difference other than pressing one less key.

Although Firefox really ought to add at least Shift+Enter for compatibility, since so many other shortcuts are common to all browsers.

Chrome and Opera 12 Alpha here. I use Chrome when I'm gaming though, Opera drops my framerate significantly; only the hardware accelerated alpha does, 11.6x is fine.

Am I the only one that looks for obscure filesharing/link sharing/etc. sites that are full of obnoxious full-screen ads, just to see how long it takes to get the real content out of the site by poking with Chrome dev tools? Tinypaste.com took me like a minute, could have been faster.

Fuuuuuuck. I can't find Visual Studio 2005 anywhere. And I can only use that because it's what our school uses, all my attempts to use later versions failed.

Also, I've tried multiple times to transition to Chrome but I still can't get over the way Chrome's alternative to Noscript functions. I just don't like it. In any case, I never get any speed problems or glitches or memory leaks on any modern browser I've tried. I still have no idea why. [editline]24th March 2012[/editline] It's probably because I'm the only one here who doesn't keep his computer on for weeks at a time.

Reinstalled realtek drivers. Switched back to Coaxial. BF3 usually is the thing that causes the coaxial to go to major noise fest. But now I'm enjoying some Indie-Game-Music bundle tracks in ALAC.

Is a sound card something worth investing money into?

if you need the options it has. But a good DAC should give you all the spatial advantage you need. I felt like my whole mind was expanded after using this DAC. [editline]24th March 2012[/editline] Also this song is fucking amazing: [img]http://puu.sh/mg0k[/img]

Would a DAC or new sound card be better than getting new headphones? Right now I have these [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826265064[/url] and [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104319[/url] (mostly used with my laptop)

Oh god please buy new headphones. Refer to the headphone buying guide...

They were free :v: Got the Plantronics one from my mom since the place she works has a partnership with them for headphones. The Logitech one is actually a reviewer sample I got from a friend's mom after she did a review for it and she was told she could keep it.

[QUOTE=Makol;34953094]My 6870s are only artifacting in WoW and Skyrim. Weird. I better not have to RMA these cards. ffs[/QUOTE] Actually I'm having the same problem with the same card. Did you buy sapphire around January?

I bought two XFX 6870s forever ago.

Mabye it's the drivers, then.

You're very late to reply to that post anyway. It was the 12.2 drivers that was causing problems.
