New Computer Configuration

Re: New Computer Configuration

No, you pretty clearly do not.



That's nice. You don't know jack shit about them.



Irony much? Mhurron pretty clearly refuted the exact point you had stated; that nVidia and Intel or ATI and AMD will work better than nVidia and AMD or ATI and Intel. You're the one bending statements (Mhurron's, specifically)



The thing is, those aren't "opinions", those are "completely and totally incorrect views".


We have no problem with Kailea. We'd do the same to anyone else who came in here acting like they know everything, when they are infact completely clueless.



This has everything to do with that thread. You might not have been around for it, but the point has been (and probably will be until Kailea smartens up and other learns him a book or stops posting on the subject) that his views on computers are dead wrong, and that's still the case.



Which is the problem. If you want to have an opinion, fine, have an opinion. However, when you start spewing off bullshit like it's factual, you will get shit.

And Saphiera, your statements are far more trolling than anything anyone else in this thread (including Kailea) has said. Keep a cool head, you really help out the people you argue against more than you damage them.

thats the thing there Feba, I never once said it was FACT, I said I have seen i t myself, witch it true, I have seen a small performance difference using very similar specs and using the different combos of hardware. So yes to me its fact, I have tested it myself, but its also in away my opinion, that is should be done that way. Never once did I say it had to be done this way. All you two want to do is flaunt your selfs around. I do my job very nicely thank you , and don't appreciate being told I do it poorly.

Re: New Computer Configuration

Not every one would agree with me on this.... but if your going to use Radeon, us an AMD processor, if your stuck on Intel, then change the video card to Nvidia. I know that sounds silly, but they work alittle better in pairs.

its true, at least with AMD and Radeon

I never once said it was FACT

When you state absolutes, you don't have to actually use the word fact to present them as such. Even if you intended to state an opinion, you presented your (incorrect) opinion as a fact.

Re: New Computer Configuration

Nobody ever said that you didn't. Just that you don't know jack shit about computers. There is a difference.

Re: New Computer Configuration

I acnt remember the cutoff but I think that the power supply can only pull 450w into the case for saftey reasons (i'm just remembering an old lecture, not sure if that is the wattage) and anything after that is unused

You must have confused that with something else because that is incorrect. If your ps is 550 and your puter only needs 400 then it will only pull 400 but if it clearly needs more it will pull that also up to the limits of your ps.

ok so all the performance testing I have seen with countless systems of different configurations over the years, is wrong? because you two say so? ok that makes since......

Re: New Computer Configuration

since when?

Probably, yes. Placebo effect, you haven't shown any evidence of controls or tests, etc. Armando could tell you all about if you want.

I dont keep track of all that crap -.- I do the tests at the customers homes after I finish repairing them

Re: New Computer Configuration

So then you have nothing but your own (probably mistaken) impressions go to on. If the world were limited to only what you believe are true, things would be really simple. But that's not the way things work.

Re: New Computer Configuration

Fyi, just make sure you have the right pin set up on your power supply. Older ps's have a 4 pin and many new mb's need an 8 pin. I was stupid enough to think that our local computer store wouldn't rape me (ya I know /slap) and I blindly bought a ps. Picked up a Coolermaster 650w for $120 because I needed it RIGHT NOW and it had the 4 pin connector setup. I was so pissed because by the time I got home and found this out, the store was closed for the day and it wasn't open on Sunday. Gramma had to go take a walk to cool off. LOL

Yes, I quoted myself...sue me. LOL

I just wanted to add to my glorious little tale above as a warning to idiocy even in the professional world. So I took back the ps to the shop today. I know that the people in the shop must have an education in computers in order to work there because my cousin was the district manager for many years. So they are fairly knowlegable right? I give the ps back to the gentleman and he asks why and I explain. He proceeds to tell me that I am mistaken. I explain to him that I know I'm not and why. I then get this answer "Ma'am, I've been working with computers now for 12 years and I can guarantee you that you are mistaken and this ps will work with that mb just fine." The condescending tone of his voice had me boiling but the many years of "if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all" from my mother overruled what I wanted to say. I just insisted on a refund, got it, and told him that I will go do business elsewhere with people that do not treat me like an idiot. Best Buy it is!! Because most of the sales people there (computers) are already idiots. LOL

So after I got home and we hooked it all up, TA DA! it worked! My son said "We should call up that pc store and let them know how wrong they were." Of course, I said that we won't do that because we don't need to stoop to their level of ignorance. Well, someone upstairs must have liked me today because the phone rang 5 minutes later. The gentleman at the pc store was on the phone and he was apologizing because after doing some research he realized that I was correct and he was dead friggin wrong. Divine justice......yes please!

WIDESCRENE!!!!!!!!!!!! I have one >.> and my graphics card is PoS and makes FFXI look like fat ppl XD I had to change to aspects to make it right you know those little config thingys you can do in the menu........

Feba: Seriously dude knock it the fuck off, sure correcting someone's mistakes is one thing but seriously do you need to go this far? my assumptions that you are in fact a moron keep proving to be even more true. Ignorance in a subject is one thing weather the person is trying to act a certain way or not. But constantly pushing the issue even further shows you HAVE NO LIFE, dude get over yourself your not impressing anyone by doing this.

That said I am no longer going to post anything els, sorry to all of you who didnt need to read that ^-^

Re: New Computer Configuration

Uh, that's nothing to do with the graphics card. That's the way FFXI handles resolution changes, which is why you had to change your aspect ratio.

DUDE YOUR A MORON STFU...... god I swear go away..... burn in a chemical fire!!!!!

Who is trolling, again?

Re: New Computer Configuration

Ok =) Here is my new computer my husband bought me! I get it in two days yay! ^o^ anyway I was just wondering what you guys think about it, and how well it will run FFXI (this is a laptop and I know desktops are better for gaming but I like laptops b/c I can move anywhere in the house and still play with no cords attached but my controller lol) anyway here are the specs! let me know what you think!!!!

Re: New Computer Configuration

Honestly, you'd be hard pressed to buy a new computer today, laptop or otherwise, that would have any problems running FFXI. The game is several years old, after all.

Though personally I feel that if you're going to buy a laptop that large, you may as well just get a desktop.

I really really like mobility and yeah we already are getting a desktop, My husband know's a lot about computers he's been building them since he can remember. I on the other hand know nothing >.> lol he picked this one out for me. Anyway we are getting a huge desktop from what he''s told me it has like (keep in mind this is my dumafied version xD) it has a huge fan 8GB of Ram, (not sure on the HDD space but huge probably) It glows in the dark, it has 2 of the best Graphics cards you can buy (totaling at about 1,199.99 for both of them) and he has a monitor that has ummm 4 screens in it lol........ that is all I know but I know there is more if I can find the links i'll post them =) but from what he told me he said its godly and for it all together its about 4G's in RL money x.x

So all in all I dont really need to get one lol I mean I could just use his desktop when he gets it. I love moving around the house so I prefer laptops I know i'm just a n00b but its what I like =)
