Hnnng! I got tired all the way down in my myocytes.... And my dendrites! and my axons too! But those last two primarily come from Adderall burn-out.

Since none of those have any sort of pain sensor, I can soundly say you are over-exaggerating how tired you are.

don't ever watch the matrix please

[Klaustrophobia]

which reminds me i need to dig up drivers for said xfi.

good luck with that.

don't ever watch the matrix SEQUELS please

[General Battuta]

I think you're missing the point here Klaustrophobia

funny thing was i had them installed like 2 minutes after i posted. my google fu is strong today.

[Klaustrophobia]

that's not fair.  i had to do the epic 5-hour battle with creative drivers TWICE.  are you on XP still?

Welp, gotta get the bathroom door replaced now. Got jammed, wouldn't open, had to bash it open, and now it can't close lest it be jammed again and require another bashing.

Whether we're going to be forced to pay for it or if we can pin the blame on shoddy doorknob installation done a few months back is not a discussion with the landlord I'm looking forward  to having.

The computer I got from my sister earlier this week BSoDs with a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error on a fairly frequent basis. I'm finding a way to fix it.

currently dealing with a little dilemma, I not long ago got my hands on an old Dell Dimension 8300 with the intention of reinstalling it as a homework machine for my stepson.  Problem is I just got round to working on it and noticed it's the 3ghz Pent 4 870p version with a stand alone GF 5200 and 512 mb system ram, my main machine on the other hand is a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (works out at 2.2ghz) socket 754 with a GF 6600 GT and 1gb memory, both CPUs are single core and though the AMD is a slightly newer chip design the Intel has more raw processing speed.  So do I

a) do what I originally intended and setup the dell intact for my stepson
or
b) swap the graphic cards and one of the memory modules and take the dell as mine and let him have the remains of my machine so I hopefully get a little performance boost from the faster CPU.

no, 7 64

of course i was once a computer tech, so i know how to driver hunt.

Am I missing something or are you just being a total asshole right in front of everyone? Please tell me I'm missing something.

9 times out of ten that error ends up being hard drive failure.  Although there is an outside chance of faulty drivers.

Every time I hear the Otherside I think about Knights of the Old Republic. What do hey have to do with one another? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Swap GFX cards and go with faster CPU.  the Athlon also doesn't have SSE 2, which sucks (I have one of those xP ) Also, pop 2GB or more in both systems if at all possible within reasonable price (buy from ebay from seller with excellent ratings and a high amount of ratings), the computers will then perform alright vs. with 512mb they will be a pain in the neck.

All Athlon 64s should have SSE 2 support, the difference was that it was the later San Diego and Venice cores (2005) onwards had SSE 3 which mine lacks as it's an earlier Newcastle core, also just found out the Pent i have is an earlier Northwood so it is also limited to SSE2 but I am looking into if I can squeeze a Prescott (the generation that introduced SSE3) into the mobo
