Need Help Against Aw Haters, Plz Help! - Page 4

the new MoH (Pacific Assault) was great but the engine of MoH and CoD really needs to be updated, after Doom3 and HL2, MoH CoD just ...... how do i put it,,,,,,, it's Lacking something.....

i was playing MoHPA before HL2, and now i just can't go back to Pacific Assault after HL2... even tho i always try to finish all the games. i hope HL2 has not ended my intrest in other games that isn't even out yet.

I have had no problems with my self-built rig (no hardware problems and have not had to reinstall Windows for well over a year). To be honest, I can't say the same for my AW laptop. I pulled the internal wireless nic out, my wired nic acts up often (think I have a bad ethernet port), I used to get BSDs until I tried several wireless nics (found a Microsoft USB 2.0 unit did the job). Somehow I still love the rig. But it has not been perfect. Almost everyone at my work has had a hell of a time with Dell laptops, so I guess it is just part of having a laptop. At least with a desktop, you can fix most problems yourself, and you know if you have good quality parts or not.

Pexeter. I will assume that the comment regarding your uncles and such needing constantly to tinker with their faulty rigs was not a generalization targeting the buying over the building because if it is than its crapsville. Either your people purchased lemons or they are just boobs at building and for them sure, buying should have been a no brainer. in fact i would go so far and state that for the majority of people, buying should be the only option since for them computers are interesting only in their utility and not necessarily for the performance(of course people will buy the most bang for their buck but that doesn't assume that this performance need be perennial). The majority of computers in my house have been build and upgraded and from my personal experience with my close friends who run computer businesses, i find that the performance and reliability with a home build PC far outcasts anything that boutiques or companies can bring out. here i am talking about a true modded case and not some shit that little Joey pieced together.

Their was another comment on here about how business buy in bulk and pass the saving on to the consumer, man that comment borders on sheer stupidity, either the individual has never run a business or is not familiar with the cost advantages equalized between the inbalance of input costs and revenue. LETS READ AFTER ME BOYS AND GIRLS: A COMPANY WILL ALWAYS MARK UP A PRODUCT INDEPENDENT OF THEIR EXPLICIT COSTS DUE TO THE NEED FOR SHORT TERM PROFIT. SIMILARLY, THE MARGINAL COST (the price) MUST MEET THE AVERAGE VARIABLE COST AT ITS MINIMUM POINT ON A GRAPH THUS THE PRICE WILL ALWAYS MATCH THE IMPLICIT/EXPLICIT COSTS.

What all that junk up there basically means is that the individual not only pays the full market value of an item but the market value is also compounded by the bulk or total unit cost. Thus for your little graphics card you are both paying for the unit value and the unit price as a whole.

Another short listen. Alienware is considered a reseller and thus their products cost doubly then they otherwise would. Dell on the other hand holds exclusive contracts(why do you think AMD is underrepresented or not represented at all) rights with certain manufacturers like Intel thus they can and often do provide their costumer with liquidated deals(since they received the products at next to nothing).

OK enough schools over.

err whateever... i didnt read that post above me, anyway, if you are new to overclocking, read this: http://forums.anandtech.com/messagev...&enterthread=y

Dang man thats why I like your post's Haaa Thats too dang funny

overclocking is like this, you raise the FSB on your ram, say 200MHZ stock to 230MHZ, then you set a multiplier for your main CPU clock speed, like say 10. 230x11 = 2.3ghz

now if your processor was originally 200mhz FSB with a multiplier of 10, it would be 2 ghz, or 2000mhz. but you raised the FSB on your ram to 230mhz, and with a multiplier of 10, you get 2.3ghz. follow me?

so...didn't you just contradict yourself Mr Buffet?

dont worry about voltages, you should be able to hit 2.8 without having to touch the voltages. if you want to overclock, get the corsair XMS ram that AW offers, otherwise you wont be OCing anytime soon.

if you REALLY wanna get into overclocking, sell that ram and get this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...146-890&depa=0

that is the best ram ever made and overclocks like a dream. you might be able to get an extra 200 MHZ out of that cpu with that memory, but thats it.

Neosis, close the business book and speak Engrish. Yuo must be either:
1. In school
2. Just barely out of school

because no one talks like that outside of an academic environment. I can use my quantitative business methods to validate my theory if need be

Hi Craig. No contradiction at all because there are some businesses who are considered manufacturers of computers(IBM and Dell for instance) who purchase components like perhaps chips and LCD panels on a contractual basis and are not considered business resellers; in other words they are able to receive perks(like mass capital) and fall under the noncontractual basis of contracts.

Lets give an example. Dell holds exclusive bargaining and distribution rights to lg Phillips where dell buys i million units of LCD panels for $100 bucks a pop and turn around and sells them for $400(a normal markup is between 200% and 300% but often and depending on the market can far exceeds these figures). While company B purchases 300 units for $500 and turns around and resells them for $800 to $1200. What is important in these two companies is not the volume but the standing. Company A is able to sell things for cheaper not because they purchase large volumes but because through their contracts, they are considered a partner while company B merely resells the LCD by interpolating their own company's name.

Get ur nose out of that book, Neosis. Be the man ho that you know you are and get some tail. No book ever got no one some trim.

Yes Mr Beavis. As he scampers away in shame with his tail between his legs.

This is what multiple graduate degrees and involvement with the material studied does to a person. Darn my bad.
