What can I do to this machine without buying anything more for it? I've overclocked it, found it's max oc. I've BIOS flashed my video card, softmodded my Audigy II ZS to an Audigy 4. What more could there be for me to do to it?
 
Disable non-essential servies. Run "services.msc", find and disable services that are non-essential and you find rudimentary. Some of these benefit security when disabled. Remote Registry for example. Download and install the trial of O&O Defrag v8. The trial is fully functional for 30 days, just run a defrag.

Been there, done that
 
Have you tried porn?
 
I'm confused... Are you talking about North. Atlantic. Oscillation.? Nao brand figurines? A Korean's last name? Nao?:rolleyes:
 
I know what it really means. You fail at coherent grammar.:shadedshu This isn't the MTV forums bud. HAT FAILZZZZ!!!:roll:

I agree with Dan. Play some games. Go get AOC so I can constantly spawn kill you. Seriously though, do you play any games? Steam games?:D

*3rd or 4th edit... Get a larger monitor, and go from there. Mwahahaha!

stop telling me to get monitors :p
The only steam games I ever played was the games you got in that generic offer I found about when installing new drivers... OH IF YOU HAVE AN NVIDIA CARD WE WILL BRING THIS DEMO TO YOUR ATTENTION!! HL2 LOST COAST!!
 
You should get Pirates, Vikings and Knights II (PVKII) for steam. It's very fun, and your system should run it very well. It's basically a FPS with swords, axes, kegs, bows and arrows, etc.

Getting a larger monitor will make you want to upgrade your video card. I'm just trying to spurr on some progress!;)
 
I have plenty of games :/
I just... obtained Crysis, Imma wait until summer though before I get into it. School's almost out :)

is there any way to fix dead pixels?

Over summer :)
Every day we will kill him. He will run from us, "NOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
 
haha finally it will be the other way around :D
 
Lol, Parrotkill! Oh, I have admin powers on Banjo Boys 24/7 server and play on it regularly. There are some surf maps, which can be pretty brutal if you don't know how to surf. Counter Strike players and TF2'ers may know what surfing is. Personally, I love getting kills with long axe throws or arrows. Very satisfying.:D Bring your mic! Calling your mama names can also be very satisfying!:laugh:
 
wtf its a half life 2 mod, I don't have half life 2

I believe you just need to download Source SDK and the PVKII game files to get it to work.

Get a new monitor.:p There really is no legitimate way. You can "massage it" with a pointed eraser, or there are some types of software that will try to do it.
