heh had that on my old box, I actually built a bunch of Honor Harrington ships in it, good times.

Rainmeter? Looks good. I tried it myself, but then realised that it served no purpose and removed it.

Double-post.



Just installed iStat Menus 2.

Yes, it does say 'This copy of Windows is not genuine' but that's because I got the W7 disk and key with the computer and they were supposed to be genuine. Guess it isn't, too late now.

And yeah, my laptop monitor is 1080p. Too bad that ****ty GPU can't play anything but FSO well at that resolution, hopefully when I get some decent money I can upgrade to an ATI 4670 mobile card which is much better than the GPU currently in it. CPU could use an upgrading as well, but dual cores with a decent clock speed (such as the x7900 or x9000) are super ****ing expensive even though they're outdated as hell. Need a better background too, but whatever.

Wait a second...since when are laptop graphics cards removable, much less interchangable?

[Fury]

They aren't.

[Colonol Dekker]

And here i was, trying to crowbar a 9500 GTX into my netbook

They are removable, in fact, most now besides intelgrated mobile cards are. There is, however, some slot compatibility problems with MXM, where a card will fit a certain MXM (in my case, type III, I believe) and not fit the new MXM Type A or B. It gets really ****ing complicated. It is, however, easy to tell if it will fit or not, the types of MXM connectors on the card are distinctly different between the types, except between MXM cards that are larger but have the same connector (MXM type A has an identical MXM connector as MXM type B, but type B is longer iirc).

pro-tip, they've been removable and interchangeable for years now.

EDIT: And I forgot to mention that most laptop hardware is removable too, including the mobo. Though if the mobo is interchangeable or not, I do not know.

Actually I wish I had just gone with a newer model, one of the 2009 or 2010 models with the new MXM though the 2010 models can use the i7 cores iirc.

[Angelus]

Didn't Alienware has Notebooks with replaceable GFX cards?

[Hades]

I remember something about they and Toshiba having this system of card exchanging before the MXM system was created but they couldn't use the cards from the other manufacturer. I'm not sure if that's what you mean, but there you go.

This thread has a topic. Get back to it.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Okay.

*Is curious as to where all those Clannad wallpapers are coming from, after scanning through most of the pages*

No interesting wallpaper from me at the moment, sorry.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I got mine from Gelbooru. Be careful, it's not a safe for work website.

Here's another one of moonknives' works:

[asyikarea51]

I tried cheapo-hacking an FS wallpaper (useless advertising for a campaign that I probably won't finish for countless reasons, and the plot borders on ludicrous IMO), but I gave up. Beyond simple tables and simplistic FRED I guess I can't do that much eh. Sigh.

CCS again. Another classic...

I got mine from Gelbooru. Be careful, it's not a safe for work website.

Translation: you will have to wade through about 200 efforts that probably aren't that badly executed, but almost certainly offensive on some level, to get a single good wallpaper.

On balance, I'd say it's worth it, but...

[asyikarea51]

Odd proportions or...???

[ssmit132]

There is a word for that image/desktop:

Win.

 

Why thanks . Here's a link to the original photo: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled-(Messerschmitt-Stiftung)/Messerschmitt-Me-262A-1c-Swallow/1399549/M/

Yes; I don't really have a use for it, but my desktop looks a bit empty otherwise. I found out about it from this thread, incidentally.

It's a nice little game, although I don't know how well I am at ship making  .
