Fuck building a computer. Fuck it in the ear.[views:1906][posts:23]_____________________________________ [Dec 6,2008 2:39am - the_reverend ""] I bought a new motherboard and RAM to replace in the previous computer that I made which never really worked. So I hook it up, nothing. Rehook it up. nothing. move shit around. nothing. Finally, I take out the RAM and put in 1 old stick and I get it to boot. put in a second old stick, nothing. get it into windows on 1GB. start installing new drivers. then windows says fuck you and decided to stop booting. this is gay. GAY. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. |

| _________________________________ [Dec 6,2008 4:12pm - niccolai ""] from a broke ass nigga's standpoint, laptops are retarded. You pay double or tripple the amount of money for the same performance you'd get out of a PC with similar specs. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 6,2008 4:32pm - the_reverend ""] oh, I know it's laptops FTW. only faggles like niccolai who stay at home and get drunk don't like laptops. I need to get a new laptop, but am waiting for a cheaper 12"-14" quadcore laptop with a sizeable SSD that gets SATAII speeds and has a multi-touch screen. I thought what I wanted would be out feb 2009, but it looks like nov 09 now. This desktop I need too. it's going to sit at home and act as a server. I wish that I just got a tiny optiplex instead of dealing with all this bullshit. I now have 4GB of 1066 RAm sitting here that doesn't work. 2 MBs that don't work. a hard drive that has a smart start warning. FUCK! |

I can see why you might prefer laptops though; I don't think the motor in your car could sling the additional weight of a PC :spineyes: |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 16,2008 2:19pm - the_reverend ""] new motherboard, new ram that doesn't work with the motherboard. install windows xp x 5, install vista x 1 and I still can't get the sound card working. something about can't install MEDIA. fuck building your own puter! |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 16,2008 5:34pm - Conservationist ""] I've spent 12 million hours of my life looking up RAM and chipset configurations, and they always print them in tiny text without alternating color lines. You have my sympathies. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 2,2009 8:07pm - the_reverend ""] FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK MAKING YOUR OWN COMPUTER. I ordered a second set of RAM. 800Mhz. and the computer won't boot both 2GB sticks. FUCK THIS SHIT. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 2,2009 10:43pm - Conservationist ""] WTF is motherboard? Did you google MB parts number " " RAM parts number? This sounds highly queer... I mean, irregular. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 2,2009 11:27pm - the_reverend ""] MSI g45m or MSI g45m-fd. I forget which. Like I said in the other thread, I got the system booting now. I think that it's running at 667Mz instead of 1066Mhz. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 2,2009 11:34pm - Conservationist ""] Cool. It had to find the right ratio. I like most MSI boards. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 3,2009 1:09am - Arist ""] What processor are you running specifically? |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 3,2009 1:10am - the_reverend ""] I think it's E6400 |
| ______________________________ [Jan 3,2009 2:34am - Arist ""] It's probably running at 667Mhz because of the ratio or divider it's set to. You wanna be running at 1:1 ratio and it's most likely on something like 5:4 since DDR2-800 is asynchronous with that bus speed. If you put it to 1:1 it'll lower the speed down to 533Mhz and make full use of the bus (theoretically) also, it might make sense if you had some stability problems before |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 3,2009 8:48am - the_reverend ""] whenever I have a maçi just use it as I would a unixbox. all shh, no ugly gui. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 3,2009 10:05am - Conservationist ""] http://www.freebsd.org/ I agree. It's much nicer this way. And while GUIs are great for a lot of things, they suck for anything complicated. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 3,2009 10:46am - porphyria ""] wtf is wrong with all the stuff you're buying, cheap components or what? I've never had any of these issues building my PC's. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 3,2009 10:49am - the_reverend ""] the problem is that I don't buy shitting components. I'm just cursed. |
