Even if you did post-grad computer science, you're 'high level' knowledge would have been less than the basement boys when we were 12.

Low level is the building blocks though and requires the most skilled people to program. Is this your arena Butters? If not, then you're a fraud as a techo.

Of course he's a low level guy. That's why he tries to edit the registry to turn Wifi on.

^^ haha yes that's the kinding of thinking he's trapped into. He can only see in 0's and 1's.

Regedit is hardly low level though, which is probably why he still struggles.

Seriously though, my hat goes off to old school low level programmers. It requires a lot more smarts than the code monkeys of today. I wanted to do a course in software engineering / computer science but spent too much time in college smoking weed and playing video games and failed to make the cut.

that's admin shit, you retard, but you wouldn't know since all you can do is wear phones and play video games

^ So Butters, did you have a happy child hood? Sounds like you were locked in a basement housing a massive supercomputer with 64K RAM in 1964, and forced to code 'choose your own adventure' text based games from pure binary. That would explain your pathological hate for anything basement or boiler room related. You programmed 'Zork' didn't you Butters? Good job.

^ whaoo !!! did you take your pills this morning ?

**9999** · 20-12-2011, 11:34 AM

^ Yes but only after that post

^^^Butters could not code his way out of a wet paper sack.

But he knows how to make XP run in 256Kb of RAM.

Mind you, he can't do fuck all on it, and the disk light is permanently on.

**9999** · 20-12-2011, 12:59 PM

Bullshit. Butters can makes pretty green and black fish tanks in Apple logo.

And he doubles up as a post boy in the HR department.

Thinking of getting a PC made simply for this purpose. You can presumably go to some of the IT malls and have a bucketload of games put on to a HDD for not too much thb, or just buy the copied games for 150b a game.

I already have a laptop I use at home and a netbook when I'm going out. So this will be strictly for gaming with my TV as the monitor, nothing else required of it.

What parts would I need to have put in, to play the latest shoot 'em games or whatever?

Cheers.

No idea of what specs are used nowadays.

Look on the back of the box.

It'll tell you the recommended specs.

Pick up the most graphic intensive game (or look it up on the Internet) like Crysis 2 and do what it tells you.

Not difficult.

A computer with 4GB of ram will play the latest most graphic intensive games just fine and dandy.

The graphics card does most of the work.

3D programs, modeling or animation work, require more ram. So do things like video editing.

And BTW, it's not "tone" it's tonne with 2 n's.

Half Life 2 with cinematic mod will easily gobble 4gb of ram, even more if you have it available.

**farrang** · 26-12-2011, 04:14 PM

I bought my gaming PC from overclockers in the uk cost me a couple of but got lots of ram 8gb and good graphics card it's called the titan i won't be spending any more money for a few years

I'm sorry, are you talking about Half Life 2?

That's the game released 7 years ago in 2004? For which the minimum memory requirements were 126MB of ram? and the recommended were 512MB of ram?

I surrender..

**harrybarracuda** · 27-12-2011, 11:15 AM

Bottom line is Windows loves RAM, the more you have the more you can do (and you can turn off the Pagefile as well).

Not exactly.

Windows 7 MANAGES Ram. What good is RAM if it's there being unused?

One of the reasons why Windows 7 outperforms XP is because it USES ALL your RAM. If you have 4GB or 6GB or whatever, Windows will try to fill it up, because RAM is useless sitting there doing nothing.

It manages it, so when you need to run something that requires memory, Windows will dump what it had and allocate the memory appropriately.

4GB of RAM will run any game. You should be worried about the video card and the biggest bottle neck, the spinning disk hard drive we still use. and I would make those 4GB of ram 2333mhz and put SSD. 15,000 baht for 250GB. Core i7 extreme. That and a kick ass video card will play any game.

No it wont. Only if you are using the 64 bit version.
