Hey Computer Savvy People:

[Some Random]

what's memory frequency? i ask cuz a few nights ago, i ended up monkeying with bios settings in a fit of 'fuck why isn't this booting right?!?!', and selected one of the default set ups. i've got my processor set back to the right speed, but before i did what i shouldn't have done, i'm pretty sure on boot ups that memory frequency read as 333. now, it reads 166. everything seems to be running fine...

[RicardoObviouso]

if everything is running fine, then what the hell is the problem?

[garsk]

agreed

 

 

 

 

 

 

78

[Some Random]

point taken.

[saturnine]

if you have 166mhz ddr ram, the effective speed is doubled, thus making it 333mhz.

[Some Random]

seriously...i'm a point and click, cut and paste idiot. i know i have a gig of ram. that's all i know about my ram.

[saturnine]

all i'm saying is that the numbers are the same.

[RicardoObviouso]

i remember a few years ago when i was getting a custom computer made, all i asked for was a gig of ram and the dude was like "pffft... you'll never need that"

 

 

then he asked if i needed a 500gb hard drive.

[Azalroth]

500gb + 1gb RAM

 

no where near enough now a days....heh

[saturnine]

depends what you use your comp for. 1 gb of ram is more than enough for me. 500 gb hard drive, not so much.

[Azalroth]

well when Vista requires 1gb of Ram, 2gb of ram would be ideal for anything else

[saturnine]

vista can't have my 1gb of ram.

[Azalroth]

it will take it with force and make sweet sweet love to it

[Sparq]

Backdoor.

 

Vista blows, based on the systems Dell keeps sending us. Half our software shit didn't work, and most of it is Microsoft kit to begin with. XP for the win.

[Azalroth]

Yea vista still has a lot of incompatibility shit to deal with...I'd wait like a year before even attempting to run it personally. Unless I get a new pc with it already installed

[Sparq]

The rule is generally to wait for the first service pack anyway.

[Azalroth]

Tis true.
