Minimum work age is usually *14-16, but most companies don't hire people under 18 most of the time anyway.

Excellent choice then. The 5850 is a great card. Enjoy your good PC.
As for the 1090T's performance, it's marginally better than the AMD Phenom II X4 965 and 955, both of which are great CPUs for the price (I have the 955 myself) and generally the only better price/performance deal out at the moment is the i5-2500K, which is a huge performance jump over all three of them for only $20 more than the 1090T.

It doesn't sound bad at all. The 1090T isn't nearly as good as, say, the i5-2500K, but it's no pushover. As for your graphics card, you'll have to be more specific about what card it actually is.

« on: April 04, 2011, 04:32:18 PM »if you read what I said, it put vram in first priority, he mentioned nothing about what video card he had, so clearly you're loving handicapped and need to shut the forget up.
the answer is in your own loving link. it depends on what the forget devices you have in your piece of stuff.
You know, it's really hard for me to take you seriously when you act like that. Calm down.
At any rate, nothing you've said thus far has proved that 32-bit operating systems can use an entire 4GB of RAM (which they cannot). Not once did I mention that it VRAM wasn't part of the equation.

« on: April 04, 2011, 02:43:12 PM »lol, no, look up the loving facts before you speak, 32bit can use 4gigabytes, but it'll take the dedicated vram in first priority which is why handicaps like you think it's that way.

Maybe you should read up a bit more before you start calling me an idiot about subjects you clearly aren't familiar in.

First off, the reason that you can't use all 4GB of your RAM is because of your OS. 32-bit operating systems cannot utilize more than 3GB of RAM and usually just displays it as a fraction of what it should be (eg yours is 3328MB.) If you want to use all 4GB, get a copy of Windows 7 64-bit.
Secondly, what exactly do you want? A new graphics card? A new processor? Overall, your computer is a bit dated. Your processor is only socket AM2 which outlaws that as an upgrade path. Your graphics card is rather abysmal, but it can be upgraded. I'd assume that your processor would bottleneck a new video card, but at the very least it's something you can work toward. I'd recommend http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130573 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102906 since either one probably wouldn't get too horribly bottlenecked by that CPU (I'm probably entirely wrong about this but whatever.) At any rate, make sure to get a new power supply if you choose this route. You'd probably be fine with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171031 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016.

Off Topic / Re: Replacing Intel 845 Card

No point in upgrading that machine. The Intel Celeron CPU is absolutely abysmal and will bottleneck any modern graphics card horribly, and you're not really in a position to upgrade it either, since it's on an old socket type (LGA 775) and frankly put, it'd cost you less just to buy a new motherboard and CPU instead of trying to upgrade it. I could easily find you a new motherboard and CPU combo that would work, but judging from your current budget, I'd say it would be kind of hard to find one that wouldn't leave you broke. The best I could do that wouldn't be absolutely terrible is around $200, and that doesn't include the price of a newer graphics card (eg the 6850, don't even consider something like the 9800GT, it's very dated), a new power supply to drive said graphics card, and a new case, assuming your current one is a pre-built.
Wait until you have the cash for a new computer.

Off Topic / Re: Thebest404PageEver - Yes, this again.
« on: April 04, 2011, 04:18:52 AM »It's funny how the webpage has the "best 404 page ever".
However, none of them actually are 404 pages.
The background story behind the 404 is that it was originally just the 404 page to my Steam community's website with like three random flashes rotating. One day I was talking with a friend and we came up with the idea to buy a separate domain for the thing. It was just a "for-friends" type deal until someone posted it on StumbleUpon and suddenly, my bandwidth limit has been reached and I'm scrambling to find a new webhost. All in all, I'd say it was rather unexpected, but I wouldn't regret a moment of it!
Also, hello Blockland, you posted so many links to the 404 that awstats has you ranked near the top with like 1365 links or something. The fact that running a search turns up tons of topics relating to the thing is endearing to me. I'm glad you all enjoy it.
