And its ALREADY outdated ;D Idk personally I don't really see the preformance increase of a FX-60 vs a 4400+ x2 overclocked.

The performance increase is in the fact that it does not need to be overclocked and there is a difference in the architecture.

It doesn't matter.... when the newer dual processors hit the market (or better) I'll just upgrade.

Here is how you can have just about any system or component you want, when you want it...

1. Graduate High School
2. Graduate a 4 year University
3. Obtain a Masters Degree/Grad School
4. PHD in solid technology field, possibly follow-up with another degree in business, a business degree that will complement the PHD.

Well I'm about halfway through step one, and step 2 is almost completely payed for. I even have a decent paying job at a tech company (staples).

So I guess now all I need is college, and a few certs, and I should be good to go.

BTW thats a georgeous shot. You are a very luckey man Nick, and I respect you.

Nice little tweak :)

My dual boot setup is quicker booting now on my 18 month old C: drive, it still, alas, takes an age to shut down.

My pc now takes 13 seconds from pressing the button to finish loading windows AND background tasks :D

(on my Pentium 4 rig, the siggy one is for my dads work, but I got to overclock it and use it, just I can't change settins)

Thanks for tips

BTW, Nick, you're in the Seattle area, right?

EDIT: *Note to self, READ ALL POSTS not pictures* I'm gonna try and get that shot in Flightsim, ehehehehehehehehheheehhehhehehhehehheh

..and if you want it to boot like a rocket, do the following:


1. Go to the:

C:\Windows\prefetch

...folder and delete everything in it

2. Copy the following exactly as it is posted here:


rundll32 advapi32,ProcessIdleTasks


and browse to: START - RUN, then paste it into the OPEN: box and click OK

Wait for about 30 seconds and then reboot the system.

NOTE: In order to make a system boot even faster, after applying the above instructions, ...use a disk defragenter such as Perfectdisk 7.0 or O&O Defrag and make sure the "Use Layout.ini" option is selected for boot defragmentation in the software.


Re you sure that wont damage the computer
