To JER...have you seen the illusive bottleneck.....lol

 
I do hate to rub it in, but unless I am very much blind....lol....this problem that he was very thoughtful in warning me about has yet to rear it's ugly head.
In fairness, the amount of gaming he must think I do leaves me rather awestruck 
Also, the game is not like those that require 'performance' settings.
If anyone has even watched Golf on TV you'll know that it does not exactly race along.
The ideal settings for my game are Quality, Anistropic Filtering(AF) at 8x.
The game's rendering settings are at the slowest end, for best detail.
Links 2003 (like it's predecessor 2001) actually runs a system test and then sets the games draw rate accordingly.
Also, after alot of hiccups, as mentioned in other threads of mine, I disabled the overclocking, and set the CL for 2.5.
Since then this machine purrs along.
Lastly, my HDD is IDE, and 5400rpm.
Alot of the 'Technos' here have 7200+ SATAs.
Methinks I have actually got the right setup, although I do appreciate JER for the thoughfulness in bringing that point to my attention
Thanks again

  • Have you seen the new changes in Microsoft Word?

    Microsoft recently made updates to Microsoft Word online to make working between documents as seamless as possible. The updates are being rolled out region by region, so you may not see these updates until later this week.
    Let’s check out the changes:
    1. Comments    
    When reviewing a document, comments can be critical to refining your work. Now, comments will be available in Word online just like the other versions of Microsoft Word you are used to. The new comments panel makes it easy to see all of the comments in a document.
    You can not only reply to comments, but you can also mark them as done. Hints along the margin make it easy to tell where comments have been added.
    2. List Improvements (I wish I could post a photo here, so I could show you an example) 
    Lists are a great way to stay organized. Now, Microsoft is bringing some added intelligence to lists. Word will know when a list ends and a new one begins. You’ll also be able to click a menu item and select one of the list-specific options, Start
    New List, Continue Numbering or Set Numbering Value.
    When you choose Start New List, numbering will start from 1. If you would like to start a list from a previous list in your document, you can select continue numbering. If the previous list updates, your
    current list will update as well.
    You can also choose Set Numbering Value. With this option you can start a new list with numbering starting at any number, or you can continue from a previous list but have your top entry skip a few numbers. The possibilities
    for lists are endless.
    3. Exporting Document
    It is now easier then ever to export documents in Microsoft Word online. There is now an option to download as a PDF and printing to a PDF is easier now too.
    If you weren’t using Microsoft Word online before, now it’s time to start. We no longer live in a world where we just work at our office. Work is done everywhere and on the go, and using online programs has become a part of
    our daily lives. These updates to Microsoft Work will make it easier to work effectively between documents, and we can’t wait to see what changes they will make next.

    Hi,
    Thank you for focusing on our product and sharing your experience here, this will definitely help other users who are interested in our product.

  • PT880 Neo LSR----Dang----have you seen the bios options in this baby!

    Bought this board from NewEgg for $59!!  Rumored to be Via's "Canterwood Killer"----and man---for $59---what a steal!
    Got the rig together but haven't updated bios yet or loaded Windows.  But these things struck me immediately!!
    BTW----it posted perfectly the very first time...
    1. AGP/PCI lock for the first time in any Via Bios!!!!!
    2. Extensive DRAM settings---way more than most boards
    3. Vcore voltages were excellent and ran very high
    4. VDIMM voltages went from normal to INSANE!!
    5. Excellent AGP votage adjustments.
    6. Northbridge voltage adjustments!
    7. Southbridge votage adjustments!
    Plus it has some "Turbo" and "High Performance" settings I don't even know what they do.  Not to even mention the "Core Cell" Dynamic Overclocking stuff.
    There is SOOOOO much to tweak and play with on this board----as much as any good Abit overclocking board like the IC7 Canterwood.
    This is gonna be fun----hope it overclocks nicely and the benches are good.
    If this thing will do 250 FSB with good timings and decent Vcore-----it WILL be a Canterwood killer----who wants to pay $100 more for a board that basically does the same thing.
    Plus----call me a guy who just likes the underdog----but I LOVE the idea of VIA with as good or better product than Intel----and it being a whole lot cheaper!!!
    Capitalism and competition-----don't you love it!
    John

    I just got this board myself, and put it in my machine and did a WindowsXP reinstall.
    Haven't had a chance to test it out in games. Only thing I had to do was put the motherboard in 4X AGP mode, as my Radeon 9700 Pro has the problem when running in 8X mode, within 3 to 5 minutes of booting WindowsXP, my monitor goes in to powerdown mode and only way to get it out of it, is to press the reset button. My Radeon 9700 Pro is a revision 1.1, which notoriously won't work in 8X AGP Mode.
    Otherwise I like the board, espicailly the serial ATA controller, if I have to add more harddrives to my system.

  • HT201363 I have never seen the rescue email address i don't know what it is!

    Okay so my apple id has asked me to verify my security questions, i made the id so long ago that i can't remember the questions! i was going to send it my my rescue email but i dont know what the email is and i have never seen the email address before! Is there a way that i can get a new rescue email address!? Thanks in advance!

    Not without correctly answering two of the questions. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Have you received the official 2.2 OTA update? When, where and what version.

    Since I have seen several posts where Verizon techs have said the update continues to be pushed out, have you received the official (not downloaded) OTA 2.2 update since August 5, 2010?
    If you could, please include: (1) the date and time your received the update; (2) where you are located; and, (3) the version of the 2.2 update.
    Thanks!

    My son-in-law received it a couple of days ago but there are 3 others of us in the family that are still waiting and we live close to each other.  The distribution is also obviously not first-come-first-served.  I guess there is nothing to do but wait.  I'm hesitant to download it.  I would be happier if Verizon had a server available so you could choose either to download it or go OTA.  And I would be happier if Verizon were more forthcoming on the distribution plan and time-line.  There appears to be so much mystery.  Some of you have been told that they are releasing 5000 at a time or 70000 a day but I have yet to find an official schedule or plan posted by Verizon.  
    So I continue to wait.

  • Have you used the new workflow features in CM 12?

    In CM 12.0, users can optionally deploy the standard
    approval processing or new flexible, workflow approval
    processing based on the project and/or document. Have you
    used the new workflow features? Do you think the new
    workflows will allow your organization to better drive and
    control internal and multiple party reviews?

    I was one of those users who fight for this
    functionality.
    I find using it however very
    unhandy.
    Let me give you real
    life examples:
    1. Once you
    create an order/contract and do not choose "New
    Method" you cannot change approval method to new any
    more. Imagine one of my users was creating an order
    with 120 items (hell of typing!) then she spotted that
    she cannot send it with new review process to several
    reviewers in sequence. The need for retyping it makes
    5 other ppl already against this software, even if
    they did not used it at all.
    2.
    Document Owner has admin rights.
    For some
    reason user needs to be document owner in order to
    setup review process. Imagine in our situation usual a
    site assistant, or junior person in technical office
    is responsible for creating and typing all the
    orders/contracts. So this person needs to be Document
    Owner in order start review.
    Document owner
    however can also approve/reject in name of other users
    mentioned in review cycle. This I find strange and
    make entire new review/approval cycle worthless, as
    the situation is still that anyone can approve someone
    on someone behalf with no control.
    <br
    />3. Alerts missing. I couldn't find an alert that
    would be generated if a document is held internal (by
    user) for more then ... x days.
    <br
    />4. I'm also missing a Project Setting for "all
    documents must use new review process"; "defoult
    reviewers is + 'All in sequence' + 'list of reviewers'
    - for each kind of document.<br /><br />If
    you want to force users to follow a strict
    methodology, and your software gives them chance to
    choose whomever they want, wherever they want, use any
    approval method, approve on someone behalf ... you
    will finally fail.<br /><br />I keep
    hearing that Primavera sold thousand of licenses, and
    they will develop this product, I just hope they will
    hurry, before users switch to other software.<br
    /><br />

  • When you update you iOS, have you seen this error message: not eligible for this build?  The serial

    Dear Mr. Jobs,
    My husband has been an avid supporter of Apple, having purchased a great deal from you over the past many years. Personally, I have been an iPhone user since it was introduced a few years ago. 
    In July 2010, I stood in line at the Apple Store in the Stanford Shopping Center to purchase the iPhone 4. In February of this year, I tried to update the iPhone and got the 'sign of death'. My iPhone turned into a piece of brick and I was not able to make any phone calls, which at that time, was very inconvenient. I remember having to coordinate a pick up at the airport early the next morning and my phone was dead. Apparently, in trying to update the phone, it corrupted the firmware and I could no longer activate that phone. It was a frustrating experience on the eve that I had to go to the airport and I spent hours trying to see if there is anything that I could do to get the phone back in working order.
    The following day, I made an appointment with the genius and my husband and I took the iPhone to the Stanford Apple Store to see if there was a problem with the phone. Without hesitation, we were asked if we purchased the phone overseas. Of course, as Asians, they probably thought that we purchased it in the black market in China. After hearing our response, their next question was whether we hacked the phone. Why would they bring up these issues? Rather than immediately delving into the problem, we found it very annoying that the employees would tried to divert Apple's problem to us. After trying to diagnose the problem, they gave us a new phone and activated it using their in-store computer. 
    We took the phone home, thinking that the problem had been solved. When we got home, we tried to update the iPhone to no avail. The firmware was corrupted and we had to once again, bring the phone back to the Apple Store in the Oakridge Mall in San Jose. The Apple employee told my husband to go to the AT&amp;T store, as there was potentially a SIM problem. My husband went to the AT&amp;T Store and was told that they couldn't help him, as the SIM was fine. They did, however, replace the SIM so that there would be no issue.
    In April, when there was an upgrade to the iPhone software, we once again tried to update the software and was unable to. Once again, the firmware was corrupted and we were forced to take the phone back to the Stanford store. Again, they asked us if we purchased the phone overseas. Why? They could have easily looked at the records, but no, your records are so bad that you are unable to pull it up. That afternoon, we spent four hours at the store, updating the OS on the computer as well as updating the iPhone. They assured us that they solved the problem.
    This past weekend, as there was another update to the iPhone software, we were once again unable to update it and were forced to take it back to Apple. Again, we were asked, did you buy the phone overseas. It's very frustrating and annoying to repeatedly get asked that question. After a series of back and forth communications between the genius and my husband, we were told that they didn't know what the problem was. This time, we told them that we would not be leaving the store until they solved the problem. We have an Apple computer and an Apple iPhone, so 'Apple' should find the source of the problem and fix it once and for all. The genius then suggested that we migrate the data from my computer to my husband's computer and try to update the phone using my husband's computer. We didn't accept that answer. 
    Our genius then asked the help of a second genius and after taking his suggestion, they found that the serial number for my iPhone had been assigned to France Telecom. Once again, they asked if we bought the phone overseas. Why? Please train your employees to not accuse the customers of doing this. Many of us are honest and we take offense to this. In fact, we told them that we purchased the phone from the Stanford Store (where we were at). After looking for the record, they said that we must not have purchased it from them. The onus, then, was up to us to prove that the phone was, in fact, purchased from the Stanford Store. Fortunately, my husband saved the email and was able to show the genius that the phone was purchased from them. How could your records be so poor as not to be able to find our purchase?
    After two hours at the store, we were told that we, not Apple Stanford, had to call customer care to resolve the problem. Being that this is an Apple problem, I would have expected Apple to follow up on our behalf. Why is it that the customer has to spend additional time to deal with an issue that was caused by Apple. 
    My husband has been dealing with customer care, who apparently has escalated the problem to other divisions within the organization. It's been two days and the problem still has not been resolved. In fact, the answer remains that they are not sure how to resolve the problem. Why can't you update your system and redo the record so that I can go on in peace. Every time I try to update the software, I'm afraid that I won't have a working phone. Do you blame me? 
    This has been one of the worst experiences that I have had with an Apple product and it still is not over. Collectively, my husband and I have spent over 25 hours dealing with this issue both at home and at various Apple Stores. It has been a hassle having to go from place to place, having to sync the phone multiple times, having to update the software multiple times on both the computer and iPhone and ultimately, not having it fixed once and for all. Please let me know how you expect to compensate us for this experience and how and when you expect to fix my iPhone issues.
    Mr. Jobs, I know that you expect perfection from your team. This has been a tremendous waste of time for my husband and me and has been a less than stellar experience.
    Regards,
    Lea Anne Ng

  • Steve jobs have you seen Logitech Revue google tv for only 99 bucks ya'll are supposed to be the cutting edge from the iphone 1 to now the 4 i have owned them all i currently own the ipad 1 and two and i love your products but i must say  catch up

    Here it is in question form
    How can logitec and google sell something so affordable That is not so futuristic ? From the first to the fourth the Iphone has been my companion
    In many so ways . Currently I own the Ipad 1 and 2   Let me tell you now the ipad 2 camera *****  compare it to the iphone 4
    Steve Jobs thank you for your vision but my question still stands . 99 bucks even if it is crap i.ll roll the dice your turn

    If it does the job for you and you are happy with it then that's all that matters. I assume you are unaware that you are one of a very small minority as google Tv actually had negative sales last quarter, yes that's right more people returned them for their money back than were sold.
    Did you have a question.

  • Why have you removed the bookmarks side panel button? This is THE most important feature of firefox.

    Since last update of firefox, the button to open the side bar bookmarks have been removed (ctrl+B) equivalent.
    I don't want to do a ctrl+B command in a graphical interface that I use so often. There is no good enough extension for that task.
    This is THE reason I used firefox since the begining.
    I have gazillions of bookmarks cleanly ordered since YEARS of web browsing. This is the way I use internet. If I have a project I create a folder and I put every interesting links I want to remember in it. There is no way to do that in a dropdown menu which close at every click.
    I know people who use chrome and keep up to 60 tab open just to remember what they need.
    I just spent half a day searching for proper extension in chrome and opera.
    I feel so frustrated and powerless in front of browser developpement, I have to tell it. I would gladly pay 20$ per year to keep that function there, a single button sending ctrl+B command, so simple and already coded.
    Firefox was my only browser for years, I leave you with that. Now I'm going to download and try the new internet explorer.

    You can find the link to open the bookmarks in the sidebar at the top of the bookmark menu button list that opens if you click the folder button (Show your bookmarks) next to the bookmarks star on the Navigation Toolbar.
    You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
    *Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
    *You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
    *You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)
    In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
    *You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
    It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

  • "Only a single instance of this application can run"  Have you seen this yet?

    Hi -
    Please excuse a newbie's ignorance - I've never posted to any forums before :-)
    I am using Win7 Professional and IE9 on a well-spec'd HP PC (4GM Ram, dual core, lost of hard disk space etc).
    I have successfully downloaded Adobe Reader (install_reader 10....exe @ 703kb) using Win7.
    I cannot run this file (I have tried all I talk about here with Reader 9 and with Firefox;  all the same errors noted below get repeated)
    The error message is headed:  "UI_ReaderInstaller" and the text in the message is "Only a single instance of thsi application can run"
    The only option given is an "OK" button and leaves one having achieved nothing!
    I have never had a previous version of Adobe reader on this PC; this is a first time install attempt.
    If I search my PC for "UI_ReaderInstaller" it does not give any results!
    Please might someone more competent that I help me out here?  Maybe you've experienced this and found the solution?  Please might you share your knowledge with me?
    Thanks for reading and giving this your attention.  It is much appreciated.

  • How have you made the DInc2 work best for you?

    How have you personalized your DInc2 and made it work best for you? I mean, how have you set up the home screens, added/wigits or apps, organized stuff on your phone to make it the best phone for you? I LIKE my DInc2 but don't LOVE it, so I'm looking for some ideas to make it more me.

    Here are a few apps I found useful:
    ColorDict - a free dictionary
    ColorNote - a free notepad
    Skype - this is the full version downloaded from the market that can take advantage of the front facing camera, not the the skype mobile comes with the phone which doesn't have video call.
    Kindle - a nice ebook reader
    Yahoo Mail app - it pushes mail to your phone
    My Track - a free Google product that uses GPS for tracking. It's useful when you are hiking
    Since the HTC Clock/Alarm Clock app is broken, I also downloaded an alarm clock app
    I also downloaded a few games to stimulate my brain once awhile.
    In case you're interested, here are the apps I have on my home screen:
    Yahoo mail, Battery meter, Music, ColorDict, Skype, ColorNote, Gallery, Maps, GPS, Navigation, Camera, Camcorder, Internet, People, Messages, Calender.
    I wish the phone can lay golden eggs but so far it hasn't.

  • Have you tried the InclinePro notebook stand?

    I just purchased an InclinePro for my MBP 17" and it works outstanding.
    I have not seen too much mention of this so I thought I would pass it along.
    Very stable, functional, lightweight and it compliments the MBP.

    I've accomplished the same thing for a couple of decades now with an Art Gum pencil eraser that I bought for a nickel more than 50 years ago. It's cheap, non-skid, non-scratching, takes up almost no space in my bag, bounces if I drop it, holds the back edge of my computer up an inch or two depending on how I turn it, and doubles as a pencil eraser if I need one. I think they're still available for under a dollar.
