Quote from BigTime :Pretty nice system your running there. I just got one of those 8800GT's but I've yet to get in running. I'm building my new one tomorrow, can't wait.

If you want, I can test it out for you and make sure everything works right... for a few months. Make sure nothing melts... or blows up... ya know?

Here's a video I made last year documenting my drive to and from school and edited with a bit of music and speed. It's nothing spectacular, but I find it interesting:

Hmmm... you're right. I could have sworn we were using 2M here (dunno why.) I've used it on other forums... but w/e.

Quote from RedCoupe :Just because its irrelevant in LFS doesn't mean its a bad thing to list.

You're absolutely right. I just ran with the first comment because the opportunity presented itself I prefer that people post their entire configurations anyway because otherwise I'm curious as to what the rest of their PC is.

However, for the question you were asking, he is TECHNICALLY right because only the CPU, RAM and GFX really come into play as far as tweaking the system.

Just a hint, 'evilgenius,' most people talk about the time it takes to calculate PI to 2M, not 1. Just so you don't confuse people in the future

Quote from JO53PHS :That is not a fact, that is an opinion.

Factually speaking, your correction of the fact that his 'fact' is, in fact, an opinion, is, in and of itself, a fact!

Basically you want to open up the nVidia Control Panel (from the other Control Panel, lol) and there should be a section where you can specify "override" settings for each individual video game for AA, AS and other effects. That's a start anyway.

That's nothing! You should see the English papers that come out of the printer which sits right next to it!

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :So you're the guy who's disturbing seismic stations around the world. Everything makes sense now!

Yeah, I'm trying to work out that problem. The 12 disk platters spinning at that speed tend to create subtle shifts in the space-time continuum. I bolted my case to the floor (it had a tendency to rotate counter-clockwise in a hover state a few feet off the ground) but as a result, the continuum is now tugging the earth slightly, and it's slightly spinning the North American Tectonic Plate clockwise (like grabbing the rotors on a helicopter will force the whole helicopter to start spinning.) I'm pretty certain that if I add 4 more hard drives and mount them upside down, it should cancel out the effects, but I can't afford any right now, so you'll all have to live with the small tremors until then.

Quote from UncleBenny :I sure hope you put extra fans on that thing!

It's water-cooled of course. Trust me, when you have 4 hard-drives spinning at 40,000+RPM, a few fans aren't enough!

Quote from UncleBenny :And your sound card, hard drive, and mouse don't have much to do with graphics...you could probably leave them off the list.

Are you kidding? I overclocked my hard-drive to 42,000 RPM and it practically doubled my framerate!!!

At first glance I was like, "JAKG!!! Quadruple post?!?!? TISK TISK." Similar-ish avatars.

Quote from Riders Motion :Man you gotta be on pot! It's not your GFX, try using 4096*4096 skins and your graphics will be awesome again...

You're on pot.

I'm fairly certain that I've saved files that were embedded in a flash player that way...

Quote from pb32000 :Yer possibly. Although of course it's not true to say you have a 20Ghz CPU or whatever, it could be said that for applications that support multithreading, and there are more and more of those about these days, he does have X amount of processing power available.

Agreed. I'm just pointing out what he was saying. If you have two cores, you can get twice as much stuff done in the same amount of time IF the software takes advantage of it, which I guess does technically mean your processor (note singular) runs at 2x2Ghz or 4Ghz. It's just that the way he stated it made it sound like he had each processor clocked at 10 Ghz. We all know what he meant - it's just nitpicking really.

Quote from pb32000 :BS? The other day there were a bunch of Dell Precisions with dual Quad-core Xeon X5355s IIRC (8x2.66ghz) going on ebay. They came with 'only' 4GB ram, and a 15k rpm HDD. They roughly sold for around £700. That's about £300 less than your rig was isn't it Andy?

I think he was referring to the 20 Ghz as the bullshit - not the fact that he had 2 quad-core processors.

Quote from sgt.flippy :When people crash now others sometimes start to shout at them for still being on the track... I don't even dare to imagine what would happen if also parts of the car would still be there on the track...
I personally would love it, I love avoiding the wrecks of a crash and making it through in one piece. If I crash too I don't really care. Racing accident.

Agreed. Nothing is more exciting than avoiding 4 spun-out cars in turn 2 with 20 other cars all around you trying to do the same thing. I don't at all understand the whole SHIFT+P!!!! rule as soon as you are about to crash so that other people don't get messed up. If it's a really STUPID error, then maybe, but if it's just a typical error (hitting the curb too hard, another car, taking a turn a bit too fast, etc...) I think it should be allowed to play out. All the people on these forums are so concerned with realism in racing, I don't understand why they insist that cars vanish at the first sign of trouble.

If you don't agree with someone, or they annoy you, just skip over their posts - it's not that difficult. Plus, that way if you feel the need to contribute to a thread in which they are involved, you can at least see the ENTIRE conversation instead of only parts of it. Besides, anyone who really annoys me that much, I simply enjoy flaming them until the thread gets locked anyway :P

All I know, is if I ever spectate a race like that, I'll do it from the safety of my spectator stand 7 feet in the air with breakaway legs and a soft, padded bottom.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :I think the America you're describing doesn't exist.

There is certainly a lot of censorship and nannying, but it's mainly in the media and mostly ineffective...

No actually, it's very effective. If it wasn't for all the censorship that goes on in the media today, I think it would be safe to say that Bush would NOT have been reelected.

I just don't think the guy was saying "ZOMG HAXXORS I GOTS DA BEST CPUz IN TOWN!!!" I think he was just happy that he'd just doubled his performance and felt like telling everyone. Compared to what he had - his current processor is a speed demon.
