GTAIV runs better for me with most settings on High at 1920x1080 except Shadows than SR2 on mostly low at 1680x1050.

If you don't have a 3.3ghz CPU the game runs faster than normal to keep up

A lot of missions crash at random
And the most lovely part is the steering
When you hit left, the wheel doesn't start turning towards the left, it instantly snaps to the furthest it will go[/QUOTE]
Rockstar actually released patches to improve performance, which helped performance. That's a lot more effort than most developers put into their PC ports.
Anyway, some genuine content from the Green Party of Canada:

I swear to god all Green parties worldwide are dumbfucks.
Euthanize everyone in a position of power, then promote sysadmins and scientists to positions of power, there we go, sensible legislation.

It really is terrible, I bought it on a steam sale so for me it was just like €2,5 wasted which I can live with but I'd hate to have bought that at full retail price.

The funny thing is, even the shitty last-gen i7 he picked out still dominated the top of the line Phenom II he chose.
There's not doubt AMD is better performance per dollar, but Intel's stuff is much more powerful.

I just tried GTAIV with iCEnhancer.
Looks awesome, and STILL runs better than Saints Row 2.
When explorer crashes, it opens a window asking if you want to restart it
Click yes
Opens only a file browser, start menu still gone

Sorry for the delay.
Basically today I set off in the company of my dad to scour all the flea markets we could find on the road to a nearby city where I was buying some odds and ends. My goal as far as the flea market hunting was concerned was a retro case for my PC, but I was also hoping to find a model M. I didn't think I would, but I hoped.
The pickings where slim, first place we went to was an old book printery and the closest thing to an old pc was an ISA ethernet card. Second place was a larger place, I casually stroll through the place waving my eyes around looking for something of note. Under a table, i catch the corner of a keyboard with the angled IBM logo. I match the part number with a list in my pocket where I noted down the part numbers of all the swedish layout model M's from a list on wikipedia. Then I notice the price tag.
30 kr - converted, about $5.
I try not to wet myself in excitement as I take it over to the counter where the old lady says "everything is 50% off so that'll be 15 kr"
I was completely beside myself on the way out as I explained to dad why I bought an old keyboard.
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, I went to this huge open flea market where you can rent a table and sell your shit, there was a guy there with an absolutely massive old video game collection, it was the retro gamers dream. I didn't buy anything else but a fan for about $1 that I found, only pc's there where pentium 4 era and completely uninteresting.
Afterwards I blew my savings on tools and doodads for my growing interest in hobby tinkering.
Anyways, pics. (sorry about the size)

The model M in all it's glory, next to it the keyboard it's going to replace, my Sidewinder x4.

It used to belong to a school and sadly they heat stamped it, probably for identification in case of theft.
Also price tag.

Original label still on but in bad shape, if I ever find some company that can I'm definitely having that sticker remade, same font and all.
It's a bit akward to type still, much more force required in each keypress than the rubber dome sidewinder but it does feel pretty nice to type on.
Opinions/ideas/advice anyone? Feel free to ask me for more pictures if anyone wants.
Oh wait I'm an idiot, my model M isn't from 1985 it's from 1993. I was so excited when I got it I noticed the copyright date and mistook it for the manufacture date. Eh, still a model M, still awesome.

Probably late but this is a very useful utility indeed.
Disables mouse accel in Windows 7.

Ok, this is the motherboard I'm going to be using. I have no idea who made it, but if I remember correctly it has a 300MHz PII CPU

Put a sticker over the branding, or something.

If you're worried that your keyboard is that ugly and you look down that much, you should practice touch typing.

Just because I think a keyboard shouldn't have a schools name melted into it doesn't mean I don't know how to type, I (touch) type at around 95 WPM average on typeracer.
Now I just need to find some RA- FUCK, this is gonna take some time. I'm not even sure which ones work!

I was being sarcastic.
I think that trying to fix things that aren't broken is a waste of time, energy, and money.
I'm messing, though. I still love you.

I was using a 64MB stick I found.. somewhere? Can't remember where, as a bookmark for ages.
