Normal CPU?

[maypep_necro]

Please anwer.

 

[corvetteguy]

are you still on about this... go away, UNLESS, you have a serious question, what is not normal about a processor, did you mod it, no, you can't, it is having problems, you didn't say, so what would you like US to say. :?

 

[maypep_necro]

Nevermind all, i got a new comp so fuck that shit..

 

[corvetteguy]

Nevermind all, i got a new comp so **** that ****..

LOL, finally got some sense eh! 8O

This WAS funny, but i vote to concentrate our efforts on "very old computer working" in order to get 50 pages.

Anyone ever take apart an old Pentium 3 Gateway (I don't recall the model number)? I recently upgraded the RAM on one and upon opening the case (and to my surprise) I found only a very thin layer of dust at the bottom of the case. 8O Now, I have to say this PC belongs to my mom (yes she still uses it) and was bought new in '99. What surprises me is that there are no case fans, and never were. I'm no tech, but I've seen my fair share of dirty dusty cases. How is it that this PC could be so relatively clean for so long with virtually no airflow?

Sorry for being an ADD child and getting off the subject, but all this talk about dust is just so entertaining!

Because airflow is what brings the dust in. Thats actually kinda funny because the first time i opened up my p2 last year which was bought in 98 it was filled with puffy dust pillows and a coating of dust on everything.

Its no cpu. Its a flux capacitor

Hi. I would like to know if my old computer can work again. I will tell the specs:

Does it can work again?


Now come on people, this is serious. I am betting his Dark Sucker is broken and he can not see where to plug the cord into.

The Dark Sucker Theory


For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light, but recent information has proved otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers. The Dark Sucker Theory and the existence of dark suckers prove that dark has mass and is both heavier and faster than light.

First, the basis of the Dark Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs suck dark. For example, take the Dark Sucker in the room you are in. There is much less dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The larger the Dark Sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark Suckers in the parking lot have a much greater capacity to suck dark than the ones in this room.

As with all thing, Dark Suckers don't last forever. Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot on a full Dark Sucker.

A candle is a primitive Dark Sucker. A new candle has an unblemished wick. You can see that after the first use, the wick turns darker, representing all the dark that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, it will turn black. This is because it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle. One of the disadvantages of these primitive Dark Suckers is their limited range.

There are also portable Dark Suckers. In these, the bulbs can't handle all the dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage Unit (battery). When the Dark Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the portable Dark Sucker can operate again.

Dark has mass. When dark goes into a Dark Sucker, friction from the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to touch an operating Dark Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass must travel into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a great amount of heat and, therefore, it is not wise to touch an operating candle.

Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below the surface of a lake, you would see alot of light. If you were to slowly swim deeper and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and darker. When you get really deep, you would be in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats at the top. This is why it is called light.

Finally, we can prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet and slowly open the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet. But since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet.

So, the next time you see an electric bulb, think of it not as a light bulb but rather remember that it is a Dark Sucker.



Okay here is what you do, plug everything in, plug it into the wall DON'T switch on just yet, then get a really long pice of wood, from anothe room, flick the switch with the wood, that way if a fire consumes you can run for the door, but beware of flying projectiles, but seriously take it to a computer store, maybe the best bet, but your question is likened to asking "does a plane fly", well yes it does, but if it hasn't for 10 years is it because it doesn't have a propellor or is it just because no one flys it?

this thread wasn't dead; it was in a coma, and it just woke up.



is it it just me or is this REALLY funny? Why on earth would anyone want to overclock a Penitum 60?!? I would love to have one around to play old DOS games on, but I'm not sure what this guy is aiming for... so my question is this... WHAT IS THE POINT?
To save 5$
You're better off smearing poo on it and selling it as modern art.
dude. Pay $300 for a high-end water-cooling system. I bet you could overclock to 125 on that baby!
remember that well. 15 pound graphics card! You could work out your biceps with that thing. So much for your mobile lan gaming rig when you go sli with that card! That Brit is full of $h!t.

guys i dont know if u guys noticed that dumb kid (or trying to be dumb) about his Pentium 66, check out his Sig at the bottom stating

Motherboard: ASUS
Graphic card: Geforce 6200 TurboCache 256 mb
CPU: Pentium D 920 2.8 GHZ Dual cores
HardDisk: SamSung 250 GB 7200 RPM
OS: Windows XP Media Edition
PSU: 350W
2048 MB RAM

You think with his IQ (judging from his posts) he is able to identify all that and put it here? alone adding a little Pentium D avartar

You ever heard of the garbage can. Throw it away. You must've snoosed a lot on that old computer. Don't torture someone else by selling it. Just toss it.

The thread that never ends. Going strong for 6+ months!


Well, that's the secret of a long life... STUPIDITY.

1. Don't stand in water

I thought 1.21 gigawatts was required to rip a hole in the space time continuum.

I think this is good advice, so I now have an insulated screwdriver. Are there any other recommendations?
And, once my monitor is overclocked, will this also make my email go faster since it is on my screen?

I don'tnow if you are serious or not but one thing for sure. STAY THE FOCK OUT OF THE CRT. You may very well get killed, insulated screw driver or not. BUT if you are going to do it anyway, get somebody to watch you and post the results here. Preferably with pictures.

I sure hope that this is a joke. but i've had great success overclocking my freezer. i can tell you how if you'd like. i overclock kitchen appliances, TV's, sewing machines, running shoes, gameboys, etc. i'm going to write a book called "overclocking for dummies".

Overclocking a Tv-card Overclocking your CPU gives you extra processing cycles which in turn speeds up general operations on your PC. Overclocking your Graphics card gives you more frames-per-second (fps) with which to see and shoot your mates at a LAN party. Overclocking your Tv-card gives you access to thousands more channels, dulby digital surround sound, HDTv and lots of heat.

As with CPU and graphics cards, the heat is the problem. If we can dissipate the heat we can push our Tv-cards that little bit further.

I'm going to show you the results of my experiments using conventional cooling methods. What I'm not going to show you are some of the more extreme overclocking methods that I've tried. Frankly it'll scare you and I could be arrested.


Method 1 - Heatsinks and fans

Applying a standard celeron/socket 7 heatsink and fan (applied with thermal paste) achieved a heat reduction of some 12 degrees Celsius. This alone allowed the Tv-card to be overclocked to receive 7 sports channels, 3 documentary channels and 237 cheap american white-trash so-called chat-show channels. Which is nice.



The theory behind heat-sink heat-dissipation is that greater surface area, greater heat-conductivity and greater airflow produce greater cooling. Great.

It takes no mental-giant to deduce that these principles have already been applied to many household objects.


Simply applying a frying pan with Lard resulted in a heat reduction of 24 degrees Celsius. This allowed the Tv-card to be overclocked to a whopping 89 sports channels, 17 shopping channels and 67 24-hour weather channels. Not only that, but at this level of overclocking, the Tv-card will produce 47-speaker dulby surround sound (on those channels that support it).


Method 2 - Water cooling

Peltiers and heat exchangers can go swim.

Serious cooling requires serious H2O and that can only be applied with a decent power washer.

With 1600 PSI (110 BAR) of water pressure, this baby could take the grin off Leonardo DiCaprios face in under a minute.

I simply pointed the spray at the decoder chip on the Tv-card and pushed her until she squealed.

A total of 893 channels with dulby digital 9.2 at HDTv resolution is seriously unbelievable!

It all worked a treat although I couldn't hear the Tv over the sound of the power washer and I had to watch in wet weather gear. My other PC components complained about the gallons of water, but what the heck.


Method 3 - More power

Maximum performance requires lots of power. So I attached a 920 Volt 4-phase power supply; which proved adequate.


Connected directly to the Tv-card with jump-leads, the extra power source made the Tv-card really smoke!!

The rest of this article is written 3 weeks later from my hospital bed.

Conclusion

Overclockers should rejoice at the prospect of being able to push a mass-produced consumer electronics circuit way beyond its sensible design limits. Why pay more for the better model when you can waste hundreds of pounds/dollars/euros creating wacky contraptions that push your Tv-card to just below the performance of the new model which will be available next week at half the price.

No animals were harmed in the production of this article.
Well, cats aren't really animals are they ? And 'harmed' is such a broad term...

DISCLAIMER
Tv-cards.com accept no responsibility or liability for damage or loss caused by your lame attempts to reproduce any of these experiments. Do not get your Tv-card wet. Always use a condom. Do not put any more power into your Tv-card. Say no to drugs. Do not try to find the hidden registry settings that enable overclocking. Do not apply heatsinks with Lard.

why not bake your own ram, it will work just as well, you will need:

* 110g/4 ozs. rye flour
* 110g/4 ozs. of fine oatmeal
* 50g/2 ozs. 100% wholewheat bread flour
* 400g/14 ozs. unbleached strong white bread flour
* 25g/1 oz. butter, flaked
* 2 flat teaspoons sea salt
* 425mls/15 fl. ozs. cold water
* 15g/½ oz. fresh yeast

remember the better the flour the lower the latencies, for DDR 2 use organic ingredients.


Lol. I had no idea oatmeal was an ingredient in RAM.




I just orderd a 7800gtx off of some british website a few days ago, when i opend the box i was supprised for some reason i recieved a 7900 gtx 512mb. i havent put this card in my computer yet because i think that i could make a lot of cash selling it. the card is massive i think it ways about 15lbs, it is also very long other than that it looks like the previouse generation (THE 15 POUNDS)

You just rolled all my favourite posts into one easy to read and very funny on its own post. THANK YOU.

The only thing you should add is the comment in response to the 15 pound vid card... you know, the one that changed the vid card to the guy's mom. That was priceless. :lol:
