my pc- er, laptop, is completely not new at all, and i have no clue why the hell this topic was made and how this relates to halo, if you got a new pc then just add this message in your AVATAR quote

Awesome. Yet my crappy computer with 1.83 Dual core ghz processor and a less than modern 8600 Graphics card can already run Sapien, and everything else. And I am currently running Windows 7.

Why didn't you get XP? You'd think 2000 would be obsolete by now.....

Isn't that why I'm using it? I trust Microsoft more than most of you here. I'm a Microsoft fanboy through and through.

Oh 10GB of ram, creative lier? Max is 3gb of ram unless You have the 32 (or 64, not sure) bit version of vista =/ If you had the 32(or64)bit vista, then the max is 4gb.


Last time I checked, XP is in released stage =/

A custom build can't have more than 3gb of ram =/ Also as far as I know, only Vista can use 4gb of ram. Also I didn' t say you had vista.

L2R

If you have 10 GB, it will only display as 3.5 GB on your PC... Vista Ultimate 32-Bit supports up to 8 GB... All 32-bit systems though, aside from Vista Ultimate [that are fully released, anyway] cannot support more than 3.5...

Now, if you have a 64-bit system you can support anywhere between 8 GB and 256 TB of memory. But if you have a 64-bit system, you'll need a 64-bit processor. And since you said you have windows 2000, which is a Server/Commercial version and not a home version, there is a /slim/ chance you have the 64-bit (which, Windows 2000 was the first to have a 64-bit, fun fact).

But most likely, you're just trolling, since you didn't even name off the specs besides saying you have the "most recent gfx card" and such... Didn't even say what processor you have.

Also, 10 GB is a very patchy number. You're supposed to put an even amount of memory sticks in your PC, and there are no "2.5 GB" sticks... There are 128's, 256's, 512's, 1024's, and 2048's... And lower of course. There may be 4096 sticks too, but I'm not sure... Nonetheless, you would either have 8 or 12... You could do 10, but that would mean you have 2 4 GB and 2 1 GB's... Or some even /worse/ combination.



Also, by the way. 40 GB hard drive? I have 120 and they're all full. Have fun with your limited space.

*Rips all his DVD's, CD's, and such to his computer. Also plays an epic amount of games. ... Also, has a lot of programs. ... And never clears his history/internet files. Hence why 120 GB are full.*

I'm so darn proud of you boy.

You sure you can survive with a 40gb hard drive O.o

If you don't use very much of it, yes, of course you can.

But if you have 6 different games (games such as UT2004 average a requirement of 6 GB; WoW requires 8 GB), several programs like Photoshop, 3DS Max, Sony Vegas, FL Studio, etcetera, as well as rip all of your music and DVD's onto your PC? A 40 GB isn't enough... A 250 GB might work.

Would 40gb be able to store those machima videos :O

I GOT A PC WITH A MOUSE! OMG!

I had 160 GB. Now its full, and I only have three games installed...

which games?

Err... Halo Custom Edition, Star Wars Battlefront II, and Crysis. Its mostly custom stuff for Halo and Battlefront.

I have a 250 gig hard drive and it's all filled up, so I got an external 250 gig hard drive. I have a lot of crap on my computer.

Depending on how much you want to pay. For normal home computers such as Dell and Compaq, there is a max of 4 GB, for gaming computers, there is a max of 8GB, if you want the absolute best then you want to go as high as you can get. Which you have to be super rich :\

The only thing that would really matter is how many slots you have. I am pretty much building my motherboard from scratch, but it will take me at least another year to complete it

All I'm sure of is that Windows 2000 cannot run 10 gb of RAM.

My dad pretty much builds motherboards for a living, so he is helping me, so far, I have bought an i7 Quad Core processor, a NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2, 2 Terabytes of Hard Drive Space, 4 Slots for 2GB RAM Chips, and much more to come. I am expecting a new cooling system soon

Pretty much, but custom motherboard is in the works, which is why I bought the 4 2GB ram slots

That doesn't matter. Of course a motherboard could handle it, no problem it's the OPERATING SYSTEM that limits it. Unless you have a 64-Bit operating system, the memory will never actually exceed 3.5 in use at once, except for Vista Ultimate. The kernel will not support it.

I know how much my new motherboard and OS RAM capabilities are, which us why I'm using about 8GB Ram for Windows XP 32 Bit. Besides RAM, you can increase your ram by making a partition on your Hard Drive and making it act as another RAM chip, but you just have to know how, which I don't, my dad does.

Sorry, I didn't word that right, lol.

To increase RAM, you can make a partition on your Hard Drive and make it act as another RAM chip, which I don't know how to do.

-.-' forget it

I think what he's trying to say is that he's taking a chunk from the Hard Drive (not affiliated with RAM), and converting that to RAM. I'm not sure if it's possible, but

I love people on this forum. They never put themselfs first!

I think itails was trying to explain virtual memory.

You spelt Themselves wrong.

But "it" is an anvil and these are brand new toes im wearing.
