ALSO @ all of those computer buffs. how do I actual over clock my CPU thinggy so it works faster. Whats a good way to make sure i don't melt my computer again.

You can't always do it as Drak says... i never managed to overclock my cpu by much and not have windows crash. The other issue is overclocking seriously shortens components lifespan, thats okay for CPUs but for memory its a different story (i think you need to overclock if you overclock the CPU somtimes?). With RAM your basically shoving more electricity through it... so you can imagine thats not always a good idea

Yah, I already new that Overclocking is the death of your PC. But I often think I need to because I do three dee junk. And rendering it can take like 60 hours sometimes.

How about defragging your hard drive?
It's 4G so maybe defrag it every.... thirty seconds.

HEY!!! ITS A ME!!! long time since ive said anything here... anywho... im toying with the idea of buliding a computer myself... mostly for gaming (my laptop is good for word processing cus i can take it downstairs and watch tv while i type) im just really reseaching right now i know that im not gonna go top of the line ive still got 2 semesters of schooling to pay for first but im gonna go all out on my motherboard so i can upgrade the cpu and video card later, which would be better to get though a dual core or just a single does it really matter for gaming and should i go vista right away? anyways get your ass up here drack and visit me im bored!

Dude, I seriously need some geeks technologically advanced people to come to my house and fix the computer while its rightful owner isn't present. We just reformatted it and defragged and it still takes about five minutes just to log in.

Buy a Mac.
(not actual advice but a reference to a comic. I do not accept any responsibility for the horrible mistake you would make if you followed the above statement as advice. I am using a Mac right now, I just realized, and keep feeling frustrated when the home/end buttons fail to do anything usefull. And F13? What the hell is F13?)


aside: Aaaaahhhhhhh. Uxie stayed in the ball.
Interesting. Uxie seems to be taken almost directly from the Greek "uxor". Uxor means wife. A derivative would be "uxorious". I wonder what they were trying to say.

f13 key? Oh god... That is the thing of nightmares... F13 key... *nose starts to bleed.* OMG ITS THE F13 KEY!!! T_T GOD HELP ME PLEASE!!!

[Queztatlapoca]

I use F10 for system recovery far, far too often... *shudder* far too often

[Faselei]

Anyone ever used the 'SysRq' key?

It has no use...

[Drackir]

It has a use, it prints the screen! Oh but that's only half of it.

[Mizukage]

he's right you know, just buy a mac. It is most certainly better than the alternatives.

[Megell]

Of course, a mac is also a work out machine... Basically you lift it up and throw it numorous times to improve arm stregnth.

[Moose]

thats if you can keep it in once piece by the time it gets above your head.

[Caseyweederman]

dewd, them things are hermetically sealed. They're also built like children's playroom toys.
I'm saying that they must expect you to throw it around a bit out of rage.
There's a video that suits this conversation perfectly, but I don't know if I'd be able to find it. You'll have to settle with the following:

Olde English's Apple ads

I remember once I wanted to get a graphics card outta a old mac my parrents had before they upgraded to a windows operationg system... (Never thought I would say... upgrade to windows.) I remember in the end I basically had to take a hammer to it too shatter the case because the screws were tight, and used this strange shaped thinger for the head. Basically, in short...

I actually never got my graphis card...

Edit: and moose, nice siggie... except isn't more of a wooden wand? XD

lol, we should meet up on that some time, you play broa right? cause all the cool kids do it.

[Moose]

yup yup maybe some weekend when our timezones dont get too Queztatlapocaish and wonky.
and my wand shall remain in my pants before any more discussion.

and yea boo macs! we only have macs at school its often annoying to relace many Ctrl + _ keys with that retarded apple key T_T
AND
the goddam windows have have the minimize/restore/close buttons ON THE LEFT >
they just want to be rebels and make me angry

[Caseyweederman]

We define ourselves by being different from our opposition while not being so different as to alienate any of their customers.
"Look at me! I'm different, and yet the exact same thing as you're used to."
That's why I'll never respect Lindows

[Queztatlapoca]

meish? i'm wonky?
