<0> heh nexus, what's your background gunit
<1> my background?
<0> yeah like hispanic, italian..
<2> hah
<3> ahoy!
<4> What do overclockers mean when they ask about "stepping"? If I get an opteron 165 with "step: e6", what does that mean?
<5> Probably has to do with how much you can multiply the FSB by to get the clock speed
<5> or where you set the FSB if the clockspeed is locked
<6> that's like the revision #
<6> mine is CACJE 0546BPMW
<3> argh
<6> which is a pretty good stepping. I'm at 3ghz quite happily.
<7> anyone has a samsung lcd here?
<4> nerp - what does that mean "pretty good stepping"? I'm buying an opteron 165 from a store and they say it's an e6 step. Is that good? bad?
<8> how do i get fear to run at 1280x1024
<9> uh choose the setting ?
<9> runs 1280x1024 just fine for me
<9> bad bad poker night... i lost what people owed me.. plus my initial buyin :(
<9> guess i couldnt continue my winning streak :p
<9> so overall lost... 400$ toight.. but won a total of 1900$ last 5 weeks..
<10> any idea why a WD360GD is showin in bios, and pci controller as a WD400BB? and will not boot even with the drive as a sata (non-boot drive)
<10> just windows will not load with the drive in, it keeps scrolling across the winxp splash screen
<7> hey guys....im wondering if i should buy a lcd
<8> ChinaBox, what video card are you on?
<11> .
<12> ChinaBox
<12> whatp oker?
<12> real alife?
<12> weel life?
<11> hello fellow internet addicts
<11> looking forward to another long and glorious weekend of meaningful irc? :)
<12> no
<12> i game
<11> hmmmm, cool, that halflife2 lost coast demo is good
<6> source owns.
<3> sux.
<6> incorrect.
<13> well it's saturday march11 th, my 32nd bday, althought it won't be till around 6-7am technically
<14> Ladies and gentlemen I give you the first retail nvidia 7900 video card
<14> http://pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1930
<14> the MSI NX7900GTX-T2D512E
<6> looks nice
<14> Yep
<14> And of course it's great since it's an MSI
<6> doesn't pull away from the pack so much but it does keep pace with ATIs newest offering
<6> only can get better.
<6> i choose nvidia for the stability and maturity of drivers mostly.
<14> I like nvidia for a couple reasons
<6> plus i'm nforce, might as well pair daddy with mommy
<14> I'm selling my damned x1900xtx and getting a 7800GTX 512MB card
<14> Tomorrow morning
<14> Ihad the 7800GTX 512MB in SLI, but I bought my x1900xtx 512MB and sold both of those. Tomorrow I'm trading the 1900 for one of the 7800s
<14> I have a ****ing 6800 ultra, running cod2 in direct x 7 mode because it's smoother and I don't give a **** about the OOOOMG PRETTY FLASHY. I care about what makes my game run well enough that I can kill people
<14> I love my job, I have kick*** video cards just laying around
<14> I have a 5900 ultra in a box in my closet with a 9600xt and 9800 Pro
<3> thats not kick***.
<3> that was kick***
<14> They're still kick *** cards
<3> whats your job anyways
<14> I work in a computer repair store,
<3> oh
<3> so you dont use these things
<14> No, I have 3 video cards. I have an x850 AIW in my media center PC, a 6800 Ultra in my every day use machine, and an x1900xtx (soon to be replaced with a 7800GTX) in my gaming machine
<14> and the 5900 Ultra, 9600xt, and 9800 pro can all do Call of Duty 2
<14> Hell a FX5200 can do call of duty 2 at 1024x768 on medium specs with DX7
<14> At the shop, we don't buy any computers that won't run windows XP, because nobody wants less when they can get a new dell for 300-400 bucks
<14> So all the old windows 98/2000 machines that are decent get thrown in my closet and I have a big server room in my walk in closet
<6> it would try really hard, CJDeak but no matter what, it would probably be pretty ugly and only suggest as to what the game COULD look like.
<6> but i'm sure you could get it to run somehow
<14> Nerp: It's apparently playable, a guy in my clan is amazing and he runs it
<6> hehe
<6> there's always some dude on *** hardware who owns
<14> Today was fun
<14> We dragged an old **** *** machine from the back a P2 200MHz machine
<6> yes, yes it was.
<14> and overclocked it for the customers to watch
<13> uhh
<13> slowest p2 was 233
<13> k thx
<14> Sorry pal, Was I off by 33mhz on my 15 year old hardware?
<14> Consideringr that proc came out when I was like... 4 or 5?
<13> came out 97
<14> REally? The p2 is that young?
<13> yeah
<13> and it's still a decetn cpu
<14> Yeah it is
<13> I will take P2 450 and up
<15> hey, everybody here knows what 127.0.0.1 is, ya?
<15> I just started training this week for an internet tech support job. during training, the instructor started talking about how 127.0.0.1 is the "address of the NIC". afaik, 127.0.0.1 is known as "loopback", and never sends a damned thing to the NIC. I just wanna get some documentation from a reputable source to hand in and see if I can't get something that seems that glaring (according to her it's actually the policy for
<15> <snip> "testing" whether the NIC works) corrected.
<16> acually agape, your mistaken
<16> 127.0.0.1 can acually send data to your nick
<16> NIC*
<16> but you know that
<16> so what do you mean it cant:\
<15> `Erb: it's, umm, loopback. last I checked loopback only hits the local machine. I've had machines without an "installed" modem on them use loopback, much less NIC.
<16> what
<16> loopback enables you to ping your NIC to make sure its working:\
<16> so techincally...its sending data to the NIC
<14> loopback means out and in,
<16> i agree calling it "address of the NIC" is very ambigous, its still "correct"
<15> I've used loopback on a machine that had a network stack but no valid networking devices.
<16> you mean no physical hardware?
<15> no physical hardware whatsoever. it should've been incapable of "sending out" to anything.
<16> ok what do you mean by that?
<16> why shouldnt it have been able to "send out" anything
<15> I mean, back in around '98 I had boxes that had nothing more "network"-resembling than a com port use 127.0.0.1 and were able to ping themselves.
<16> was the ping successful?
<15> umm, ya.
<15> 127 shouldn't leave the networking of the computer, period.
<15> as in, the stack.
<16> no, no it shouldnt
<16> when were you told it should?
<15> the lovely lady in the cl*** said you could "ping" the NIC with it.
<16> you can
<16> thats the point of 127.0.0.1:\
<15> umm, no, having a way to "default" address your own computer is the point of 127.0.0.1
<16> umm no
<15> umm yes.
<16> 127.0.0.1 is designed if your NIC is capible of sending and reciving packets of data
<16> designed to see if*
<17> then they've either changed the standard for tcp/ip, or it was some goddamned miracle that a machine that had none managed to use it just fine.
<16> as i said
<16> things must have been different in 98
<16> cause that was 8 years ago
<17> doubtful, since the only change is from ipv4 to ipv6.
<17> and the entire network isn't even migrated to it.
<16> ok so what is 127.0.0.1 acually for then?
<16> since you seem to know
<17> I'm not sure you'd even understand all the reasons you'd *need* a generic networking "self" tag... basically, it allows the networking components of a system to connect to *something* without even a network interface present.
<17> this can do nice things if you're doing anything from portscanning yourself, to checking offhand if a server function is running, to whatever, without having to have the hardware or network connection or retrieve your IP addy.
<18> as far as i know...you "need" a "generic" "networking" "self" "tag" for troubleshooting your computer if it is having problems connecting to the network
<17> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost
<18> ok...i see lots of **** supporting my stance
<18> what there supports yours?
<17> where! does! it! say! a! ****ing! thing! about! the! nic?!
<18> n computing the term localhost refers to the location of the currently used system. It is a loopback device which is ***igned the IP address 127.0.0.1 in IPv4, or ::1 in IPv6, which can be used by TCP/IP applications to talk to themselves if this is needed.
<18> Being able to communicate with one's local machine as though it were a remote machine is useful for the purposes of testing, and also to contact services (such as game servers) located on one's own machine that are expected to be remote.
<18> what the **** communicates with the local host? the nic
<18> 127.0.0.1 is used for troubleshooting network cards
<18> as i said previously
<17> no.
<18> yes
<19> yeah
<18> [21:34] <16> loopback enables you to ping your NIC to make sure its working:\
<18> [21:34] <16> so techincally...its sending data to the NIC
