In a gaming system your only as good as you input, my G5 improved my score better than any other upgrade, closely followed by my RAID0 which loads games nearly twice as fast. GPU is more important than CPU to me as well, Ram is Ram, as long as you have at least 512 your good, 1gb is all you need, speed doesnt matter. The screen is pretty important to me as well, you'll get so much more out of your pc from having a nice big montior or even two, much more than a slight speed increase which you would only really notice in benchmarks. Although i wouldnt say no to a vapochill case :P 2006-05-18T16:42:01.799+02:00 2006-05-18T16:42:01.799+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Atariboy&conv=42816&comment_id=68393 Atariboy Another great Article Tao, I've been a bit swamped over the weekend with a wedding and revision for my exams. Tomorrow I'll have a couple of good little articles tho :) 2006-05-16T00:28:11.662+02:00 2006-05-16T00:28:11.662+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Atariboy&conv=39804&comment_id=61873 Atariboy Lots of strong opinions about this matter, I'm quite suprised from the geeks who have their 700W PCs turned on 24/7. I'm not as suprised at the americans tho, they could never give up their petrol cars. And what about nuclear power? It seems that most people are forgetting this source of power, which happens to be much better for the enviroment. 2006-05-10T00:15:59.364+02:00 2006-05-10T00:15:59.364+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Atariboy&conv=17366&comment_id=27896 Atariboy Looks interesting, although i'm not positive i understand exactly what it is. The program i am creating is designed to be a teaching aid for programming microcontrollers (namely the 8051), by using flowcharts. From what i understand (without any kind of screenshots or plain english i was a little confused) the DSL tools allow fsater development of this type of program am i right in thinking that? Thanks for the Heads up Pedro 2006-03-09T00:58:47.486+01:00 2006-03-09T00:58:47.486+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Atariboy&conv=17366&comment_id=27878 Atariboy I was wondering if it had .Net2.0 already installed because it means that i can develop Programs for Vista using C# in VS2005 and the users wont have to download the framework (20mb) to use it, just a small installer. I cant wait to install vista now :P I've been using Paint.net for quite a while now, for simple things that i dont want to wait for photoshop to load up to do. Love it. And Linux wise i'm open to anything at the mo, i'll have a free an empty HDD to play around with lots of different distros. Is it easy to set up 2003 for desktop? Got any guides/links to hand?

Maybe you can do an extreme increase your computers speed with bios tips and registory tweaks for more experienced people? 2006-03-08T23:33:55.394+01:00 2006-03-08T23:33:55.394+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Atariboy&conv=17366&comment_id=27831 Atariboy I hear that Russ, but not being quite so old i think it might be good to slap on my CV. I've used Vista before, but it was quite an early beta so lots of things wouldnt work properly. I've got a ubuntu livecd at the mo, it was already in my shortlist with SUSE. I dont have love lost with XP, but after using it for so long i fancy a change, 2000 is definatly lighter and perfect for running most games, and i want to experiment with linux and vista, especially if .net 2 is already in it! 2006-03-08T23:27:29.334+01:00 2006-03-08T23:27:29.334+01:00
