Title: I can really play now :D
Post by: Kona1988 on December 30, 2008, 23:38:05: Well, for Christmas I bought myself a new kick -bleep- graphics card, because, I didnt have one, just some little -bleep- on board one, so, now I can play SS08 PERFECTLY, top graphics and smooth as can be :D Im really happy, because I could hardly play with worst graphics in the Solent, or any open ocean never mind in-land.

Set the throttle to 100% instead of 1%, that also fixes the problem.

Title: Re: I can really play now :D
Post by: Kona1988 on December 31, 2008, 06:33:18: Haha, talking about operating systems and such, I found an OLD tiny laptop with Windows 95 I think it was, had about 500 Mb Total memory, wich the OS took only about 40 Mb (Vista takes 50GB) and had like, lol I forget how little RAM it had.

Post by: Kona1988 on December 31, 2008, 17:04:18: lol, I hate Macs too, I sued my cousins once, confused the crap out of me :O

I got a XFX GeForce 9600 GSO

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4128445&Sku=P450-9616

I have had no complaints about it, fans a tiny bit loud, but I bought a big fan to keep computer running smoother, so, its already a little loud because I always have fan on high :P And I music loud anyway.

Off topic : Also, if anyone is looking for new speakers, try these -

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2507686&Sku=L23-7250
One on monitor, if flat screen, two on the sides and two in back, SubWoofer on bottom, works great, if you plug them in right and arrange them right then yay surround sound. Also has a little controller with headphone jack and a matrix button to turn off all but two speakers, when on you get the surround sound. and an off/on for the whole system and a level nob.

(How do you turn volume up and down without a control button like those speakers come with? I have had a gaming keyboard so long I forget...lol)
PS, Tiger Direct is awesome for all Electronic purchases, always discounts :)

Post by: The Captain on January 01, 2009, 21:17:37: Its either that SS runs so smooth because it is the latest, or it runs really choppy because it is too good for SS ;D.

Reliability, a PC would never last that long. :p

Post by: The Captain on January 01, 2009, 23:47:32: A PC not lasting 6 years? I beg to differ.
Title: Re: I can really play now :D
Post by: TerryRussell on January 02, 2009, 00:00:25: I still have my original NT4 server running at work. I built it myself when NT4 was first released. So it must be 14-15 years old now.

It hasn't needed rebooting for years. It chugs along very happily, logging people into our domain and generally controlling access to resources around our network (which spans five continents).
