My Gage - 6 years ago when I rescued him and then today. Was a lot of work at first but worth it. by baldyloxin aww

Well, if we figured out the average weight of a mile of typical road, one could calculate how many miles you'd get from x kg!

Updated my HTPCs CPU, can't believe I picked this up for 40€! (previously E8600) by xor2gin hardware

[–]triffid_boy 0 points1 point ago

You have nothing to worry about, my current set up is 4GB RAM, Q9450 @ 2.66 but will happily do 3/3.2 (keep it at stock most of the time, never needed anything more) AMD 6770 (swapped from an 8800GTS 512 that burned out after 3 years of folding/gaming/overclocking). This thing runs the latest games very happily at 1080p (I define very happily as better than console graphics but not necessarily everything on). Keep everything tidy inside the case, and with adequate cooling you'll have a decent computer to play with. :D

My q9450 happily sits at 3 with fair temps in a cramped mATX case (tt lanbox lite) and sits next to a amd 6770.

My htpc will be a raspberry pi within the next month or so, do I win?

For sure! My q9450 is still ticking over wonderfully after some pretty hardcore use over the last 4 years. Going to use the overlock up a bit more now, since I'll probably be replacing the CPU within the next year. I love how technology has aged since the q6600.

we already know that facts have a liberal bias.

What acid? I'd happily drink l-ascorbic acid, and hell I get loads of deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid every day! It's tasty.

Upgrading Video card from a GeForce GT 240 to... well, help is needed. by Stalked_Like_Cornin hardware

[–]triffid_boy -1 points0 points ago

I can't be sure about US prices, but anything you buy for that price range will be significantly better, a quick google shows that for $90 you can get a 6670 which would give you better performance, so something like a 560Ti would i imagine serve you well for around $250.

(Again, i'm in the UK, so you will have to check prices for yourself)

Which video card should I go with? by bojang1esin hardware

"I'm having trouble deciding between a bacon sandwich and a cheese sandwich"

"Definitely go for the Aston martin mate"

[–]triffid_boy 1 point2 points ago

Definitely the 6670, I recently replaced a burned out 8800 GTS 512MB with a 6670, and get slightly better performance across the board with better power consumption.

I'd say the guy jumped onto the car, his fault he fell off when you started driving. ;)

Single best exercise? Squats. Ultimate recovery drink? Chocolate milk. --Gretchen Reynolds, phys-ed columnist at NYTimes. by imagoodusernamein Fitness

Ahh I do the same, I was disagreeing with the point made earlier about them being the best single food.

They're nothing special though, I guess if they're the only thing you can eat they're not terrible, but you would probably want whole milk with them for fats, but then you actually need nutrients too. Oats seem like a waste of calories when you have a western-level supply of foods.

In the ultimate comics iron mans brain extends into his extremities. Making him a mutant rather than just an exceptionally intelligent human, strange thing to do since a major draw of iron man is his normal guy turned superhero.
