<nerp> I hate the posters there that use alliteration in all their titles
<skoal> Oh god I do too.
<nerp> "nubile norwegian nymphs necking nefariously!"
<nerp> i want to shoot that mother****er in the head
<skoal> That's just stupid.
<nerp> and the gailistin porn is so awful.
<skoal> I don't know what that is.
<nerp> skinny anorexic chicks ****ing with carrots and they have like boogers in their pubes
<skoal> AHAHAHHAAH
<nerp> there was this one I saw where this girl had a wad of yellowish cum in her snatch and it was so nasty and they left it there the whole time
<skoal> NASAL NUGGETS NEAR HER NETHER-REIGON!
<nerp> hahaha
<nerp> hmm. i like when you call someone's mobile phone and it stops ringing after three rings. you get 10 seconds of silence. . . then a busy signal. wtf is that?
<Deryl> mtso transfer ****up
<nerp> called back, got the guy. he was in a meeting.
<Deryl> just meant his network's MTSO screwed up the transfer to the mailbox
<Barsky> yeah. two most complicated visios all updated. let the tedium end
<AlvaroRec> http://tupacfanhub.a2host.net my forum enter plz plz plz
<HM2K> are these ram cache cleaners any good?
<HM2K> AlvaroRec get bent
<HM2K> you're infected with a virus moron
<H2SO4> HM2K: anything that has the words 'ram' and 'cleaner' close together is snake oil
<HM2K> you know the type of things i mean
<AlvaroRec> is the MTU increasing a solution for an better connection ?
<HM2K> these ones that are meant to free up memory
<HM2K> AlvaroRec yeah go for it
<H2SO4> HM2K: memory-free-up doesnt work. It actually lowers the machines performance.
<HM2K> yeah, i always thought it was a bit odd
<HM2K> mixed messages
<H2SO4> HM2K: think of it this way - you want 'fast' right? 'fast' means that as much of the OS and apps as possible is in RAM, as opposed to paged out to disk.
<HM2K> i want my ram to perform better
<H2SO4> HM2K: those "ram-freeing" apps work by expanding like puffer fish, thus forcing out other apps and bits of the OS to disk. The 'free-er' then terminates after reporting how you now supposedly have X MB of ram free that werent free before...
<H2SO4> HM2K: and then the OS has to spend far more time paging **** in from disk that you'd actually prefer to have in ram.
<HM2K> thanks for the info
<HawkTreo> *yawn*
<H2SO4> np
<AlvaroRec> http://tupacfanhub.a2host.net my forum enter plz plz plz
<AlvaroRec> :D
<HM2K> someone ban AlvaroRec
<HawkTreo> I hate road trips
<HM2K> road trips are awsum
<HawkTreo> or I should say I hate the road part
<HawkTreo> once I get to the destination it's great
<HM2K> H2SO4 windows has been using like over 75% of my ram constantly recently, i only have 512 ram, even if i upgrade to a gig, i understand windows will no doubt utilise the same percentage
<HM2K> H2SO4 other than killing everything running is there anything i can do to optimise my ram usage?
<HM2K> *there is
<H2SO4> HM2K: the OS is a lot better at optimally using RAM than you or I, trust me :)
<HM2K> at the end of the day it is windows, so i guess
<H2SO4> and btw, you _want_ your RAM used. THere's little point in having the fastest resource you've got sitting idle while the disk gets thrashed.
<HM2K> yeah, but at the moment it seems like ram is the major downfall in my computer's operation
<HM2K> more so recently
<pb_werkin> sin tax air ore
<nerp> more memory would help. I wouldn't worry about percentage of usage.
<HM2K> syntex error?
<nerp> XP & 2k wants at least 1GB to operate happily.
<H2SO4> HM2K: it may be a bad app (or three). You can use even simple things like task manager to see what process is chewing up the memory.
<pb_werkin> close enough.
<HM2K> yeah, i've been holding back on spending money on ram as i only have 2 slots which are full, so it would mean buying a new pair
<H2SO4> 512mb is perfectly fine for most.
<HM2K> plus ram prices just drop
<HM2K> moo: ram: ram: 388/511.48MB (75.89%) [||||||||--]
<HM2K> oo theres a bug
<nerp> If the install is old and you have a suspicion that it's bogged down with some crummy software, just spend a weekend day and format that bitch
<nerp> 512 isn't really perfectly fine anymore, bro. It's not much anymore
<nerp> 1gb minimum really.
<nerp> Vista is going to want 2gb to run decently
<HM2K> i haven't formatted since about 2001
<HM2K> ;)
<nerp> heh
<HM2K> i don't intend on doing that now...
<HM2K> i intend on buying a new pc in the next 12 months...
<nerp> Formatting reguarly is silly, some people swear they need to format every 6 months -- that's rediculous. but five years is a good point to start over.
<H2SO4> nerp: its a circular argument. Most users are perfectly OK with 512 under XP IMHO.
<HM2K> yeah, most people i know say they format all the itme
<HM2K> *time
<nerp> if all you use is one app at a time, yeah.
<HM2K> i try and avoid it like the plague
<nerp> there's no way I could deal with 512 on any of my machines for the things I do.
<H2SO4> It depends on the apps.
<HM2K> i use mirc all the time ;)
<HM2K> but my problem is when i run photoshop and dreamweaver or similar together
<HM2K> it seriously striggles
<nerp> even on my laptop, all I do is web, ms word, outlook and 1gb is hardly enough when I'm on deadline and have a lot of **** open.
<HM2K> *struggles too
<H2SO4> yeah, they'd be demanding
<Barsky> man, this place can be stingy with the holidays. actually being open monday the 3rd. dumb
<nerp> well that's because you only have 512. 1gb and you could run both those programs much more smoothly.
<Deryl> i've 1GB and with visual studio 2005, outlook, and rssbandit running plus google desktop.. it's not nearly enough
<HM2K> my machine finds it seriously hard to open both apps
<Barsky> glad I scheduled it off
<pb_werkin> this machine is running 504MB (8MB shared for video, heh). i have 20-some windows open and it's running just fine.
<nerp> understandably.
<HM2K> i'm not sure this motherboard can handle 2gb, i think it only goes 1gb, i think i'll buy 1gb heh
<HM2K> just out of interest, does anyone know the WMI location of your motherboard details?
<H2SO4> yeah, this box is fine with 512 too, but then I dont do much photochopping
<nerp> if themotherboard supports dual channel, i'd suggest 2x512
<nerp> to increase the data rate
<HM2K> yeah, if it can handle 2gb i'm gonna try for 2x1gb :p
<nerp> I kind of wish that I had 2gb in my laptop, but I think to speed thigns up now replacing the HD would be more effective, I think.
<nerp> i got a nice slow laptop HD in here.
<nerp> i need one of those new 80gb 7200 rpm hitachis
<HM2K> i always think that hard drives are the reason systems are so slow
<nerp> that will make a huge difference.
<nerp> well they're the slowest part of the computer in most systems.
<nerp> and thus become the major bottleneck
<HM2K> exactly, people never seem to understand that
<nerp> and it's especially noticable if you don't have enough memory and must swap
<nerp> more memory can alleviate swapping
<HM2K> but then agian, people end up hitting there monitor thinking it will speed it up, so what do they know? :p
<HM2K> well yeah
<nerp> at home in my opteron box i have a wd raptor.
<nerp> holy **** that **** is fast
<nerp> my home PC is so goddamn fast man. :D
<nerp> but I went all out when I built it. :D
<HM2K> lol
<HM2K> i've built a few systems with those
<nerp> the laptop is my real workhorse.
<peerzzzzz> yeateag, I've ot a rapto in my p4-2.5, it flies
<nerp> yeah on the opteron I don';t even see the XP logo during boot
<HM2K> heh
<nerp> it just flickers before dumping me at the login screen
<nerp> it's virtualy instantaneous
<nerp> i'm always the first person in a map on a multiplayer game, too
<HM2K> i remember when win98 came out
<HM2K> we installed it on a brand new pc, that was instantaneous :p
<nerp> running aroudn by myself for 1 minute while everyone else is loading the daMN map still. :D
<nerp> I wish I could have a laptop as powerful as my home machine, but that's not feasable these days.
<nerp> they run too hot
<nerp> and all the laptop graphic solutions are watered down, even the best ones
<HM2K> i wish i knew what motherboard this was
<HM2K> having bought it over 5 years ago i can't remember lol
<nerp> there is probably a program to tell you or some****
<nerp> cpuz or sisoft sandra maybe
<HM2K> if i knew the WMI location i could get my mirc script to look it up
<HM2K> the only location i could find returned "Motherboard", which didn't help
<HM2K> wmi is so useful, means i can do things like this
<H2SO4> HM2K: WMIC BASEBOARD
<HM2K> moo: gfx: ATI Technologies Inc. RADEON 9600 Series AGP (0x4150) 128MB
<HM2K> gonna check that out now
<Brutus|UA> one of you guys know how to get roman numbers in word? and not with using tabs
<Brutus|UA> using word 2007 btw
<Brutus|UA> i've tried charmap already
<HM2K> moo: motherboard: Kobian KOB746
<HM2K> yey
<pb_werkin> and that's useful because why . . . ?
<HM2K> so i can find out which motherboard i have without rebooting
<HM2K> or looking inside my case
<H2SO4> just in case it changed :P
<pb_werkin> oh. i see. it facilitates laziness. gotcha.
<HM2K> can you remember the name of your motherboard you bought 5 years ago
<pb_werkin> yes.
