You can have it both ways by having a strong CPU and enough memory.
If someone is complaining that 4gb and a lowly CPU doesn't cut it when having 50 tabs open or encoding or whatever while playing a game, yes, "they're doing it wrong" because their expectations for that level of parts is...
Keep being an arrogant ass when someone disagrees with you.
You're the one who thinks gaming while encoding is some crazy thing that no one would ever want to do. Just because you don't want to do it doesn't mean someone else wouldn't want to.
Which is the "not smart" and "silly" part...
The not beside the point was about only having a few browser tabs open. Just because you only want a few open doesn't mean everyone else is the same way.
As for encoding while playing a game, well, sure, why not. Some people do like to multi-task with their computers.
You might as...
Because I want to.
It's not beside the point. 10 browsers with multiple tabs is similar to one browser with 10 x multiple tabs.
One person's "fuckton of unnecessary shit" is another person's standard requirements.
My SSD drive even uses 1gb of memory for cache.
I'd sell you an IP35-e if you want, but, after probably $12 in shipping, I don't think it'd be worth it for either of us.
3-400?
Let's do a Sandy 2500k. You can beat the following numbers if you try.
CPU $150
mobo $40-$75
8gb DDR3 $50
= $240-$275
If you don't require an overclockable board...
I had that happen today on a 775 board after I clicked "reset to safe values" or whatever in the bios. Plugged a PS2 keyboard in and then changed the setting for "use OS/bios for USB keyboard."
Though the OP's problem I would guess may be a failure to boot problem. I had that one today too...
I went from 8 to 16 to 24 and didn't notice much if any difference other than the pagefile is a lot smaller. I usually use around 10gb lately, so I think Windows is good at pagefiling the overloaded 2gb if it's just from a browser that isn't currently being used or something. I assume people...
May as well say the same for any drawing, painting, or whatever else of a "good looking in a sexual way" visual.
If someone painted a picture of [insert currently-popular hot chick here], would it be pleasing in a sexual way even though it's only a painting of the actual woman? Probably.
But registering is different than registering your real name.
I didn't know Huffington Post even allows completely anonymous comments. I thought you at least had to register, just like here. This sounds more like they will require a Facebook or something. (Guess I'll have to dust off my...
The U.S. government supports middle-eastern terrorist groups, so now what?
We'll have to wait and see how Al Jazeera America is. In the meantime, everyone can watch RT.
lol, Daily Kos.
The liberal media doesn't like to talk about things like Glass-Steagall because Bill Clinton pushed to end it and signed the repeal for it. Bill Clinton also cut capital gains taxes more than Bush did. I bet most people haven't heard that from the "we're not liberals"...
I assume they have at least some kind of warranty on the board, and my credit card company would be happy to do a chargeback for a non-working board if there's trouble, so I'd buy one if it's that much cheaper than getting something new with a longer warranty.
