you have the tsa award you noob, its the highest tech award i have atm. ass

i have 0 (zero) certs i got my education in the school of hard knocks and the university of "screw it, lets play with it live on the network"

you can also right click go to properties then the compatibility tab then choose run as windos xp sp3 if you need xp support.

umm I am not british, but thanks

chelsea clinton got married, but whomever took this photo either deserves a medal, or will be summarily shot by the clintons later gotta click the link cause its a slideshow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10829336

as i said budget ie the chips and motherboards are 100-200 bucks cheaper together then a 1366 setup. budget also means people arent likely going to be putting 2 video cards together or running a full set of sata 6gb/s drives. while i agree 1156 is a "dead end" slot mobo, tbh so is the 1366 if intel isnt blowing smoke up our asses that their next performance chip is going to be a new socket again.

grats garf.

each company has had their high points and their low points. from the old AMD barton 2500 cores that oced an extra 1.5ghz on non exotic cooling (water or big air) to the opteron 146 socket 939's which were server class 940 chips with a single pin removed which were even faster, AMD has had periods of wiping the floor with intel. Intel, since stepping away from the p4 architecture and redesigning the pentium 3 to be the core2duo has become the leader as far as top speeds or scores, but to say AMD is being run rings around is stupid. while intel does hold the current market for consumer usage, AMD has retained a large portion of its server /corporate share and has undercut intel so that it becomes a price versus performance battle. AMD also picked up ATI, and moved to the 45 then 32nm processes before intel, so they dealt with the teething problems of not as many binned cores at the start that intel is somewhat finally getting out of now (thats why so many x4's were made into x3's they werent 100% up to amd's bin standard for the x4) the new push is to put a gpu onto the cpu die (or next to it under the same IHS) which will offload floating point arithmetic from the cpu to the gpu, which is much better at doing such work. Since AMD has ATI they are already grabbing a leg up in the lower heat/wattage chips to play with in their "fusion" system. Intel has its own graphics chips under development and even out now as well, but they are no where near ATI's offerings, so another market shift may hit soon as to who is top dog of the cpu world for a product cycle. Lastly AMD has done the one thing I wish intel would do, they have made a series of motherboards that support older chips so if you have a socket am2, you can buy a motherboard that supports that and am3 and save money when you upgrade. while I use intel ATM, i do despise having to pay for the same exact features on my current motherboard to upgrade. If you are playing games a solid dual core processor from either side will see you through. if you have specific needs then look to the cpu's that will help fit that best (vid editing, multithreaded pshop etc, 6 core amd is the way to go) to simply say one is better then the other is asinine, and while synthetic benchmarks say oh this processor is indeed better then that, a majority of the top performers cannot be differentiated in a gaming environment, which is what most of you are looking at. atm if you want top performance a i5 760 is the way to budget go. an i7 820 or w/e it is is the better "budget" 1156 chip. AMD has the phenoms and they are certainly nothing to turn down. I run a c2quad 6600 on a g31 board. Overclocked and watercooled and i have little reason to upgrade anything at this point except maybe my motherboard to push the oc higher (mines wearing out) and a newer vid card (4890 atm) if i want to have bleeding edge gaming tech.

oh shit its cranks o.O wb man

if furmark load (on stresstest) doesnt load it past a number then no game is gonna do it furmark maxes the gpu's out

glad to see you finally can see/test the fruits of your labor there, hopefully its a marked improvement and lets you push the card a bit more

lay off the idiocy guys, he posted a valid thread for the various ppl here who play with him since steam isnt ipad compatible, if you feel the need to make that big of a deal about it just leave the thread. let us know if you have any other issues fajita, one of the NOC-lings will be happy to assist you with troubleshooting.

hey bor3d welcome back

you set each skin type (supporter admin etc) to a custom flag or a sm cmd flag ie if you want admins to have the skins you can set the skin auth to use the admin chat flag (j) or define supporter (reserved slot ) as flag (a) if you are primary server admin or owner then define yourself with a Z, that gives you all the flags instantly, (unless you use simple color chat then you end up with the all the various stuff before your name, and its annoying) if you want to define based off non admin cmd flags sm contains several ones for cmd overrides and such they are o, p,q,r,s, and t.

sorry to see you go tique, but thanks for your work and your humor . bye for now fishy

hey now missy, you aren't the only one working on stuff

if grim remembers the guy and or his old forum account is available and set to reg, then he can wear the tag, but we would need to link his name now with that account before he got the OK.

48cent yo. (insert bad jokes about opinions and their worth here) There are many things I have done, whether they are cool or not is an entirely different story. here are a few -I studied precision machining in highschool as well as engineering (we didn't have programming stuff then) to fill the massive gaps in my schedule -I was recruited out of highschool to work for the NSA -Used to Work in marine biology/ husbandry -I can teach the Va concealed weapons pistol course -I used to speak 3 languages, now its down to 1 and some german/spanish and a smattering of curse words -I have/had a security clearance (never kept up with it after a few years ago so no idea if it is still valid), -I am on file with the FBI to run background checks through NCIS (national criminal id system) -Have an amateur radio license from back when I was a kid. -One of my mentors/friends/recruiter used to run the Dc-Moscow hotline (the "redphone") so plenty of funny stories about escorting drunken soviet generals around the beltway etc.
