I'm going to buy a new PC for gaming and stuff. MOstly for SHip SIm 08.
Would this pc take ship sim 08 on full graphic?
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Graphic card: 8800GTS
Memory: Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 2048MB CL5 Kit w/two matched CM2X1024A-6400 Dimms

It's Vista if it matter.
-
Yes it will handle ShipSim on full graphics ;)
-
Nice system there :)
I use the bathroom very often...

If you're gonna boost your post count, at least try to do it in a polite manner! ;D ;)

How does Windows Vista works with Ship sim? :)
-
With Vista you may want 4 Gb of RAM, I'm not sure that's in the above setup.. :)
-
Get a new username. It's disgusting!
-
Keep in mind that if you have 4Gb in Vista 32 bit it will only use about 3,3Gb of the ram(I have 4Gb in Vista 32 bit just because I want as much as possible :) )
-

It's much better than it was :)
-

Minimum spec for Vista is 2Gb. However, extra memory is always useful no matter what applications you're running. With prices being relatively cheap, now is a good time to buy it (and install it, to be really useful).
-
My same thoughts Terry, better to have it installed before you buy it.. :)
-

Personally, I like ripping open brand new PCs and stuffing them with more memory, extra disk controllers, bigger power supplies and many TB of hard drives.
But then, I am a geek. ;D

I had a bit of cold feet when I first had to open up my computer, but it is a good way to understand a bit what goes on in there..I'm still a tourist though.. ;)

Tourism is always a good start, it can be fun learning all about your PC for the first time ;)
-
I confine myself to checking the oil and changing the spark-plugs, so to speak.. :D

But I strongly reccommend that start with an old spare one! Don't use the trusty main PC, in case you need to download a driver or similar... :o

Oh dear. I took you literally. Excuse me while I wipe the 3-in-1 from my PC.

LOL, nice description :D

Indeed ;)
Although I'm quite brave with tech stuff most of the time. I crashed my first PC 20+ times in the first few weeks (full reinstall required each time), but I knew exactly what it was capable of after that ;D
-
I actually did that oil thing once, years ago. A girlfriend had a crackly volume-control on her transistor-radio, so I poured some oil in it..
It didn't help.. :D

Hint: Switch Cleaner :P :D

Yes, I know that now.. ::)

I think I'm being over-helpful then ::)
Must be nearly sleep-time I guess ;D

Actually, 4B pencil works best. I used to open up the pot, then gently run a the 4B pencil round the track. Worked perfectly!
I still do that for the few things that use a carbon potentiometer. (Told you I'm a Geek!).
-
You are never over-helpfull.. Carl;)
That's a good trick, Terry.. :)
(Im off to bed, goodnight guys.. :)

Actually Terry, I never thought of that, nice tip, thanks ;)

;D Thanks ;D

Goes back to my days as an 8 year-old learning about electronics (EF50 pentode was the thing!). I could only get old junk (jumble sales, the TV and Radio shop's trade-ins that they couldn't fix and so on), so I learned how to make as-new.
I still recycle things endlessly.
-
Terry probably has a supply of, or knows where to find, Lubriplate.

Sounds obscene, or very interesting. I'll have to ask the missus. She's the American around here. Amongst other things, she's run an electronics production line or two in her time. I expect I know it under another name.
-
It was/is a product of General Cement. I haven’t seen any in years. It’s a cream colored grease that was used for lubricating rotary switch contacts and TV turret tuners, among other things. As vital in those dear, dead days as your pencil.

Now you've really upset my wife. Fancy claiming my pencil is redundant... ;) (Benny Hill lives on).
Regarding the Lubriplate, I used to melt vaseline (using a soldering iron) and that would run into the bits that needed it. From what my wife has told me, it looks like Vaseline is very similar.

Hmm.. Ok. I have bought a pc with these specc.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400

What O/S are you running? XP or Vista? Home server?

Lol... "Kid that uses the toilet alot" I think a better username would be ideal. People cant really address you can they? And its a bit disgusting.
The phaise "WTF" is the shortend version of "What the ****" (You know what I mean... :P ;)
Its not a very polite phares to use.
Edited to remove the quite obvious word, DJM.

So don't use it then! ::)
Why are you stirring things up again, after so long?
Quote edited to reflect the above edited post, DJM.

* Edited for language - Mad_Fred * Now you know why your nickname was changed! ;)
-
Kid,
Your name was changed because it contained bad langauge.
If you want to have a decent name, you could possible politely ask the admin to change it to someting of your choosing. I'm sure he'll help you out. But your original name just was a bad choice. ;)
Regards,
Fred
-
I know, I got a PM ;)
-
Right.. well.. then you know.. But why do you type it in here again when you know it's bad langauge? :P
-
Im using Vista... IT was the admin that changed my nick. my real nick is ****kid.
I only asked you what O/S you were using. Why did you feel it important to try to tell me some stupid nickname? It's not like I care.
I was going to see if there was any useful information I could point you at, so that you could get the best from your new PC. But if all you want to do is try to shock people, I sort of loose interest. And there's absolutely no way you could shock me or even get me to raise an eyebrow, so don't even try, kid.

It hardly matters which os he is running, 4 Gb should cover it..
Seems to me a name change is in order to "calm the waters.." :)

Does matter, only 64 bit operating systems can correctly address 4GB of RAM or higher. Thats WindowsXP x64, and Windows Vista 64bit flavours. (As well as Windows Server products, and 99% of *nix operating systems).
No point in getting 4GB if the OS will not be able to utilise it all. 32bit OS's can address 3GB. Using PAE or the /3GB switch, you can address around 3.25GB.
;D

Ehm.. Ok, chill. I wasnt talking 2 u about the name.

Hi Saltydog.
I didn't ask about his memory specifically. I asked about the O/S. If he's running Vista, there are dozens of aspects that can adversely affect his experience. There are a different set with XP, and yet another with 2000. I was just asking so that I could point him to the relevant guide or thread.
If memory was the only thing that affected how people's PCs work with ShipSim, there wouldn't be much going on in the Support Side of the forums! ::)
I think a name change has been offered to him already. Probably a good idea to take advantage of that. However, as I've said, I don't find the current nickname of any note at all. The previous one was a problem though. Repeating it here even after his name had been changed by the High Cheeses was rather daft.
