@eaglehooves @lyokotravels Hello everypony..... How are you, I guess :|
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:09:04 UTC from web-
@marsh Not bad. Just annoying everypony with my video card rant. You?
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:10:12 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves Video card rant? Um Im doing nothing, Im very boring xD
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:11:38 UTC from web-
@marsh #firstworldproblems about my laptop not playing nice with the Steam summer sale. Kinda done venting, actually. Figure I'll try every stupid trick on my book tomorrow, then failing that start saving money for a desktop.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:14:40 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves Good luck. Sorry computers be retardo.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:17:14 UTC from web-
@marsh There's ones that aren't?! Where would I find these? (Every system I've owned has had it's quirk. Motherboards, graphics, HDDs, CPUs. I really know how to pick 'em. At least this one only acts up when gaming.)
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:20:36 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves Alienware? :l
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:21:07 UTC from web-
@marsh Dell Latitude. If it were an Alienware and didn't eat through games I'd be out for blood.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:22:34 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves Then I dont know apples . I have a crappy HP computer and I dont play games. Sorry xD
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:24:05 UTC from web-
@marsh No prob. Not something that can be fixed. Guess I did have a little rant left.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:25:27 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves Seems like the main topic is computers and I know not much on the subject. So I guess I will be going. Good luck like I said before X3

@eaglehooves Radeon 6xxx, Phenom 2, and Gigabyte MOBOs work perfectly together. In eight months I never had a problem with this build.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:22:20 UTC from web-
@nerthos I got a ASRock Mobo, Dual Core 2.9, a Radeon 6670, and 8 GB ram (only 3 usable dumb win 32bit)
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:23:59 UTC from web-
@lyrica Yeah, that's a major annoyance. I was forced to install 7 on this one due to hardware. I miss XP.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:26:07 UTC from web-
@nerthos I only had 7 32bit OEM when I built this, now if I wanna use all my ram I gotta reinstall Windows
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:26:49 UTC from web-
@lyrica Then just backup what you want and reinstall it xD It's like, 3 hours of backups and 4 of reinstalling, in exchange of a performance boost.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:30:04 UTC from web-
@nerthos oh I know, I'm hoping to get another harddrive before I do it though, I could just take the 320gb out of my dead PS3 fat, YLOD I've since replaced it with a slim :<
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:31:18 UTC from web-
@lyrica Do it, then xD

@lyrica Or you could just leave it inside lying around, unless you move your desktop regularly.

@lyrica You cant mount a ps3 HDD. ive tried. They have a proprietary filesystem that not even linux can read. (or i havent found the right driver)
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:39:00 UTC from web -
@lyrica Also, you dont need a bay for any drive. USB to sata adapter with an external power source.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:40:25 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 I got a USB enclosure that doesn't require an external power source, but I have no intention of installing windows on a USB Drive
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:41:17 UTC from web-
@lyrica Ah. I have my cheap $20 usb to SATA/PATA/(uhh)laptop PATA (?) really just so i can get stuff off my old hard drives. No way can i run an OS of any kind through that. (ive tried)
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:46:32 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 lol
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:46:54 UTC from web -
@techdisk42 You would try.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:47:59 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves Yes i would. And it would have worked for windows 98 and XP if it werent for the fact that they are 32 bit and my laptop has 4 gbs of memory soldered onto the motherboard.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:50:51 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 It didn't just fail to see beyond 3? I've gone past the cap in several desktops, and they just don't use the excess and boot anyways.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:55:26 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves well, it booted, but win 98 gave me the standard too much memory error (which btw actually says you have too little... Weird) and from
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:57:16 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 ...what i remember, windows XP just plain BSODed. *CURSE YOU IPOD ENTER KEY*

@lyrica My family has a 2.7 dual with a Nvidia 9800 and the same 3gb ram cap. If it weren't slowly dying it might be worth 7.

@nerthos Well none of mine have been builds. They've been a series of Dells and HPs shared with a computer-abusing household.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:24:39 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves Then you should start saving and buy a personalized desktop. It's not that it's that expensive either. You could build a cheap gaming rig for $500, and a really great one for $900-1200.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:28:39 UTC from web-
@nerthos I paid $400 for my computer, only things I didn't buy were CD Drive, Video Card, Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor or speakers
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:30:21 UTC from web-
@lyrica I paid around 1000 or 1100 for this one, minus monitor and periferics.

@nerthos Lol payed 300 for my current piece of crap. It was okay... 4 years ago. :/
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:32:43 UTC from web-
@minti @lyrica I gathered all the money I could found and bought the best I could afford, trying to avoid the christmas rise on prices and a tax increase scheduled for january. It was worth it.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:36:01 UTC from web-
@nerthos well, my motherboard is capable of upgrading up to the core i7 so I got room for upgrades :D
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:36:49 UTC from web-
@lyrica Mine supports any proccessor with an AM3 socket and any PCIE GPU xD

@lyrica I guess our motherboards are similar, but for different proccessors.

@nerthos I think I threw down $1200 on mine, plus external monitor and peripherals.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:35:51 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves Laptops are expensive :C
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:38:49 UTC from web-
@nerthos Professional ones doubly so. Built like a tank at least, and the warranty is ridiculous.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:40:31 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves I wouldn't buy an expensive laptop. I wouldn't risk carrying something valuable around.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:42:44 UTC from web-
@nerthos They'll fix anything, including my own stupidity through 2014, so it's not such a terrible risk. I'm thinking it might have a tragic "accident" the month before the expiration that necessitates a replacement.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:46:07 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves My problem is not something breaking, but thieves xD

@nerthos Its funny how my laptop with all the minecraft trouble cost over $1500 CDN, while i could have built a great gaming rig for less. But, i did need a computer to take to school that could handle some games, so im not complaining. (i also got sony vegas out of the deal, so thats always a plus)
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:31:34 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 Well... that's expensive. I wouldn't buy a "gaming" laptop. They're far too expensive. I just use a gaming desktop at home, and a netbook when I'm away, with 6 hours on battery.
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:33:57 UTC from web-
@nerthos its not a gaming laptop. Its just light, (3.5 pounds, fast, (intel i5 sandy bridge) and powerful. (no lag skyrim on high 1366x768)
Friday, 13-Jul-12 03:37:45 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 One good thing about Skyrim, it doesn't waste resources. Minecraft and Gae of Thrones are top of my list as resource wasters.
