Donkey Kong Country 2: Serious Monkey Business - History
prophetik music replied to Geoffrey Taucer's topic in Projects
i noticed that k rool's theme is still out there, with djp requesting a collaborative effort. i wouldn't mind if he brought the funk and let me use my new tenor saxophone to shred some shit =) i'll throw him a pm. i'm still planning on doing a track, but getting married has been throwing a wrench in my schedule =) -
i love how much hp overcharges for their computers. quad: 210$ retail, you can find them for as cheap as 190 if you don't get the new g0 stepping model...since most people don't even know what that means and as such will never notice the difference ram: going expensive, about 60$ for ocz plat hd dvd: they were on sale for like 10 bucks a while back, but who'd even want one? call it 50 bucks on ebay. burner: 30$~ hd's: no one sells 360g drives, so two 500g drives is like 180 max. vista: 90$ 8500gt: a good one is like 70 bucks, but you can get them for as low as 45$. we'll call it 70, although you can get a good 8600gt for the same price and actually play modern games with it. motherboard: a way better mobo than you'll get is like 100$ (asus p5n-e). the ones that hp puts in their computers are like 40 bucks if you actually purchased one like it. assuming it's the one i think it is, you can actually buy one for around 42$ through geeks.com, as of a month or two ago. cheap case w/ bad psu like in the picture: 50$ or so. hp media center remote: they couldn't pay me to use their crap, hp's optical stuff is worse than trash. never works from more than a foot or two away. it's not even a standard transmitter, it's infrared - and it's about as powerful as the old infrared transmitters on laptops. total: w/ a better mobo by far, more hd space, better components as a whole, it's not quite 825$ not counting shipping. kill the hd drive, spend some money on a graphics card, go with better ram, don't get a quad unless you are doing heavy video rendering with multithreading-optimized applications. still a rip, considering this is a used computer that's been 'recertified'.

i've always found starla's mix circuit breaker to be an excellent relaxer, although it's really up to you. xenosphere is another awesome one.

i don't want my child to have the phrase darkesex in their name. it needs to be a name that'll last for a long time and they'll be happy with. faleboat, yes, but not darkesex.

hey, so i'm getting married this coming weekend, on july 12th. we're going to virginia beach for the honeymoon.

i worked, at wegmans. it sucked, i'm in produce and there was no one else there after 5 pm. not that we had many customers - most were just fat black people demanding corn. my favorite comment of the night was "THIS CORN IS SHIT, WHERE ARE YOU KEEPING THE GOOD STUFF, WHITEY?" thank you, modern america.

Sale of Windows XP ends June 30th

age doesn't matter, system resources and a good architecture in your chip does. i can think of cpus five years old that are still good chips, albeit underpowered compared to today's stuff. -

coop, i've been on like a million projects and headed up another...i know the general protocol. i was more curious if you guys wanted to 'release' it as a kind of preview, similar to team.rokit with tweek. -

Team OverClocked ReMix - Folding@Home
prophetik music replied to 100_PERCENT ROEMER's topic in General Discussion
my computer's been having trouble 'recovering' from running this for extended periods of time, so i'm going to have to put it off for a little while. it tends not to come out of screensaver if i leave it on for more than a few hours at a time. -
Sale of Windows XP ends June 30th
prophetik music replied to Darth Lime's topic in General Discussion
i'm not as good with lower-level ati cards, but in terms of components i know pretty much which is which =) i can probably rattle off benchmark numbers for just about anything by now...although it's my own benchmarks, not an open-air testbed. -

larger resolutions are generally perform the best on sli. however, consider this. the newest cards - the 9 series and the gtx 2xx series - get almost double performance out of sli on those larger resolutions. it's something like 90% scalability or something. at lower resolutions, the 9800gtx or the 4870s or 3870x2 are the best (i'd go with a new 4870, they're beasts and cheap) but if you want two cards go with dual 9600gt cards - they scale awesome, they're cheap, and for 350 you can perform as well as or better than other cards costing the same. IN MY EXPERIENCE. real-world benches are way better than test benches, don't forget. -
i can rip it, but i can't get a legit copy any more =( of course, a system builders copy of xp pro (read: OEM, one install) is only 140 bucks, and you can still buy them. do'nt go that long without a compy. get a linux-based machine and either run linux or get a copy of xp and load it on there...and be careful =)
-
uh, we all know that vista was a flop, but xp was possibly the greatest os ever designed - longevity, scalability, etc. beyond that, you've got ME (which was really just a service pack) which sucked, then 2000 which was pretty good, then 98 and 95, both of which were pretty good. 98 was awesome, actually, i still run it on two machines. oh, and don't forget server edition 2008 and 2003, both of which are excellent. again, read above. they 'screwed up' one major release and one minor release in ten releases (if you count service packs as releases, which ME basically was for 2000). i'd call that pretty good. argh, i'm defending microsoft now. shoot me.

Gamer Seeks Space Combat Sim (PC)
prophetik music replied to DeepChild's topic in General Discussion
for what it's worth, spaceforce: rogue galaxy was an excellent game, despite the mediocre metacritic rating. it's 30 bucks on steam atm, last time i noticed. edit: i should point out, if for some reason you didn't like x3 (which was space sim gold, after you got the hang of it), then you might have issues with spaceforce since the story is...not really there. well, in a relative sense. it's got a steep learning curve, too. -
jjt is an excellent actor, guys, just register by the way this isn't brad
