  1. I remember being quite fond of vanilla Coke during my 10 day vacation in the US around 7 years ago. It was sold here for some time but probably never got popular enough to have solid residence. Too bad really.

    They sold it here for a brief time, about a couple of years or so, and then it slowly faded from existence. I remember being fond of it as well. I can still buy it import though.

  2. I'll do my best to stay active.

     

    My max is about 1k in an old Runescape forum i was mod on. But then it got shut down by the owner

    But tbh i like these kind of "smaller" forums a lot better. Just feels like you know people better.

    Same here. But I have a feeling this forum is growing and growing.

  3. I think you've been very active so far, Envi. And you have very cool posts to boot.

    Well, thank you, quite (: You're pretty nifty yourself.

    I do my best, like we all should. ^_^

  4. I'm active on all forums I'm a part of... One I have the most posts ever on, (integrated into a browser based game, now dead) one I became a mod on, (the hack site, it's what I listed as my "www") another couple I made myself, (they have since died due to the games they were about becoming crappy) and this is the last. (third highest post count)

    I usually was always in the top ten, but I've been getting distracted lately, so I post a lot less than I used to. Oh well.

  5. Damnit Alyxx... You just outposted Ross...

     

    Fortunately, I'm in third place...

    Not intentionally.

    I've just been here from the beginning pretty much.

    And I'm glad you're being active.

  6. I have a HD 5770 myself and I can definitely vouch for it.

    The 5770 is about $40 more than the 5670, for only a minimal performance increase... And if you're bumping up to that price range, should go for a GTX 465 that has double the performance of a 5770.

     

    Not to correct you, but the 5770 HD does give a large increase on performance (~30%-58%) over the 5670 HD (at high resolutions).

     

    Problem is that the performance increase comes with more heat and power consumption as well.

     

    The 5670 HD is ideal for a HTPC-type; and if you don't game all too much (used to play HD video, movies, music, and has a lower profile). Lower power consumption, and lower heat is much better in those OEM desktops.

    Yeah, I have an Antec 1200 case though, which gives very good ventilation since it has 3 fans in front and one huge on the top, so heat hasn't been a problem yet. And I can run Fallout 3 with all the settings maxed at 1920x1080 without any lag. Same with Need For Speed Hot Pursuit.

     

    Anyway, I agree that the 5670 HD is more ideal for the HTPC-type. And McAffee is a virus in of itself.

    What he said.

  8. You have an integrated graphics card. The 9100 is the lowest tier of the Nvidia 9000s series.

    So it's not known for its graphic processing (not suitable for gaming). The System Requirements Program Test is wrong, the Geforce 9100 is not faster than a Nvidia GeForce 6800.

     

     

    If you have a PCIE slot open (go out get an actual Graphic Card, and install it into ur PC).

    Yeah, that'd explain it.

  9. If you are running any apps like FireFox they can consume a lot of RAM. I have this problem even if my computer is really powerful. And sometimes apps like Photoshop don't even close. I recommend using task manager (ctrl+alt+del) and the process tab to see if any apps are consuming RAM and shut these down.

     

    Even MSN can consume unnecessary RAM sometimes.
