Would you have to restart the computer after setting the option?

You have to have Vsync enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel for Triple Buffering to work.
If enabling it for blockland.exe doesn't work, force it globally.

I think it only matters for size, but for the same reliability, you could try to grab one of the same drives.

I have an odd problem. My mouse (Logitech G400) has been "lagging" as of late. Occasionally there's a 3-5 second long period when every move I make with my mouse including clicks are ~300ms late. It will do all the things I did with my mouse but just some 300ms after I've actually done it. It's very annoying. It also applies to my keyboard (Logitech K200), the keys I press are actually repeated. This has never happened before and I've had both my mouse and keyboard for a year now.

Try installing SetPoint?

Ok seriously, why is Linux so goddamn slow? Am I doing something wrong? I installed ubuntu 12.04 on a 30gb partition in my single hdd, it constantly freezes and slows down when I try to launch single applications, or even rename files

How do people use this crap? I copied 14gb of files to my desktop windows side, it took about 5-8 minutes. I copied the exact same files (drive to .local) through linux and it took over 3 hours. I have a 3570k @ 3.4, what's happening? Is there a way to check if there's a ram or cpu core limit for ubuntu to use at any given time?

There could be hundreds of reasons. Do you have proprietary drivers installed for an AMD or NVIDIA card? How fast does your drive benchmark? I could go on.
As for the "Windows transfers files faster" issue, the NTFS-3G driver for Linux is forgetstuff horrible and can only transfer up to 40MB/s irregardless of hardware. Use vFAT for a storage partition and use that to transfer files between Linux and Windows, it works much better in my experience.
Either way, I couldn't recommend Ubuntu to anyone at all. My experience with it is less than satisfactory. Mandriva and Fedora seem to be much better "user-friendly" Linux distros.

update wireless drivers
ensure the wireless card supports your network encryption with whatever driver you have installed
ensure there is no IRQ conflicts (windows should do this automatically from 98 onward)

eats up way too much ram under any platform and uses too much damn bandwidth

OK I will try add that.

EDIT:
There is error

Code: [Select]

'-c' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
answer

The parameter is supposed to be added onto "shutdown" after -s and -t, in case you didn't know.

Watching YouTube videos in HD eats your bandwidth like no tomorrow.

having watched two 3-minute youtube videos at 720p eats up almost 300MB
yeeah if you're someone who watches a lot of youtube videos and have a bandwidth cap you should stop

I went over my ISP's bandwith cap twice already, this sucks richard. If I do it again I'll get my service shut off for a month. The only way to solve this is by either getting a 15mbps business class for a 100 dollars or paying for a second connection and a  second modem doubling my internet bill.

How large is your cap? What could you possibly be doing that's eating up all your bandwidth usage?
