I drove to a solid gold warehouse in my Ferrari with 1000 terabytes of storage and a computer that can run 50 instances of tf2 at once, in which I had 100 of the finest hookers masturbate in front of me as I played blockland atop my solid gold toilet as I had the finest swiss knife maker fashion me a swiss army knife with solid golden tools, and then I had my 50 servants make the hookers dance for my with 22. caliber bobcats, this post was written for me by Barack Obama.

FYI, 1000 terabytes of storage (a petabyte) is currently possible, and it's possible to run 50 TF2 processes currently too.

Dumbass.

Uh, download the file, it's only 1MB, then stick it on a loving USB stick.
Was that hard?

OP, do you want our help or not? Are you going to continue being difficult?

It wouldn't be BL forum without this awesome look.

I must admit that I prefer sleeker looks with glass effects and stuff like that, but I really wouldn't change this. It's embedded in history.

This wasnt about the look :o

You sure?
I'm sure SMF changes the look.

THAT'S A HIGH PING?

:O

No, he knows nothing.
The download rate would be affected before the ping was if he was "downloading something".
When the download rate runs out of effective bandwidth to ping the test, then the ping goes up.
Ping in this case is really his distance to the server. 40 is about normal for about 500km in all directions, depending on wiring.

Really, Avast won't pick it up.
The best way to get rid of it is to download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and boot in Safe Mode and run a full scan.

You can get them for around $200. Bandwidth is a huge issue because of slow express card slots are. Anything over a 5770 (not sure what current generation cards that compares to) is redundant. Most of the ones I've seen have a separate power supply just for the video card so that you'd have to be plugged in all the time. You also need an external monitor.

Verdict - Impractical

Just FYI, a 6770 is just a rebranded 5770, so they are the same card.
And judging by AMDs series naming, the next equivalent will be a 7670 or something, lol.

I really don't want to bother. This computer has just given me so much trouble, and it's not worth keeping.

I was kinda insinuating that you could fry them if you liked. :)

I tried to boot it on but it instantly shut off. The third try, it worked, but it was just a black screen. And yes, it has made hissing noises.

great, my computer broke right before christmas holidays. :(

I suggest you try another PSU on it. It sounds like it's really really forgeted, not even supplying enough to the components. I wouldn't try any more just in case your components decide to fry themselves cause they aren't getting their rated wattage.

Ah, I presumed he meant video card dock that plugs in to the expresscard slot or whatever in a laptop.
