PC Gamer’s Place

After a couple of months of trying really hard to keep Vista installed on my PC I have finally decided to go back to XP. I have realized (took me long enough) that all the errors and incompatibility were out-weighing the improved frame rate in games.

I had Windows Vista Ultimate installed. My current system is:

• CPU Type DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo E7200, 2833 MHz (9.5 x 298)
• System Memory 3072 MB (DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM)
• Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (256 MB) (Vista adds another 1256MB virtual memory)
• 4Gig Flash drive used for Ready Boost

It isn’t the very best setup possible, but It should have worked just fine. The ready-boost feature worked very well, although it took quite a long time to start. As I mentioned the frame rates in the games improved by about 20 frames on average. This is due to DX10 using the Video Chips processing power rather than letting the main CPU take all the “heat”. For example in BF2 I get rates of between 50 and 70 fps, in Vista I was getting 70 to 100 fps. I was finally able to fly those damn jets and actually do some damage to the enemy rather than get shotdown every time.

But otherwise it is a horror. Constant issues with compatibility with oh so many games and software I gave up. Bf2, for example, would simply disconnect after every 2-3 rounds. Some games would not even start after a couple of times or crash constantly. The only internet browser that works is IE (duh). From time to time Media Player would just stop responding. Actually most of the apps started to “freeze” on regular basis. And the rate at which that would lock-up started to increase.

Also I was really tired of the constant need to take ownership of my own files. And the duplication of the same exact shit. The folder where You put Your pictures, for example, is called simply pictures. In reality it’s just a shortcut to a folder called My Pictures. However You cannot access the folder directly. Same goes for My Documents folder. That’s simply retarded. Beware of taking ownership of everything though. This may cause other errors. I took ownership of the Temp folder that is used by install programs. As soon as I have done that I was unable to install anything. I don’t remember what I did to fix the issue but it wasn’t enough to simply change the permissions back.

In any case If You do have Vista for God’s sake move back to XP. Unless You are regular user. In which case good luck You damn yuppie. In a couple of Years MS is going to release the new OS which would be basically Vista, but improved. I feel really sorry for those of You who actually paid for that thing. In my honest opinion I think that all of You should take Microsoft to court.

I am a total n00b at playing at world of warcraft. The in-game help was not all that helpful at all. For instance I still can’t figure out how I can enter general chat. I decided to look around and try to find a good guide to various things in the game. this download contains a huge number of them. However it also contains a number of cheats and links to various cheating scripts. I do not suggest that anyone uses cheats as You will get caught and Your account will be deleted when You do.

The following is a warlock guide:

This guide is a basic guide to the warlock. It should get you started and give you a general idea
of how to operate the game and play the class.
Now, as far as race goes there isn’t any real difference besides the amount of mana and life you
start out with so chose any race you wish. I think undead look awesome but they are on the low
end of the mana chain only starting out with One-hundred and ten. If you want to be a short
Gnome then you are going to start with a whopping two-hundred! Either way you go they are
pretty close to the same.
Now, go, create, dress up, and for gods sake get a nice hair cut! Done creating your character?
Watched the story movie thing? Super, let’s get you on the road to becoming that warlock of
doom everyone is always talking about. First off get familiar with moving around in the world,
arrow keys make you move or you can click down both mouse buttons and hold. You can look
all about by holding the right mouse button down and rolling your mouse around, you get the
picture. If you are looking for an auto run, the push numlock, this will be handy for when you
want to eat and run away from a monster at the same time.
Next look around for some guy with an exclamation point above his head, you are going to see
a lot of those. These fellows can give you quests, which we want lots of, so talk to everyone of
these you see, they are all about. Some of the missions will appear later and some of the
exclamation points will be a stone gray color, meaning they will have a mission for you soon,
like next level or so. You will find missions everywhere, in homes, Inn’s, caves, Mountain
passes, so keep your eyes pealed.
Missions are a very fast way to level in World of Warcraft, probably better at lower levels then
higher, but I haven’t reached the top yet. So after gathering your missions take a look at the
bottom of your screen. Here you will see all sorts of buttons and what not, don’t be afraid, they
are only here to help. First look to the far bottom left of your screen. Here you will see a
weapon icon, a dagger for you but the same goes for every class, a hammer for Paladins, sword
for Warrior and so on.

Have you ever thought about networking your computers at home? If you have a small collection of computers around the house (and a small collection of computer users), you can connect each one of those computers to one another and share data, software, and hardware including a single Internet connection. There are many creative uses for home networking, however it’s an ideal situation when upgrading each computer to the same capability is financially out of the question. On a home network, each computer has access to the equipment of the better machine in the group as if that equipment were their own.

Connecting computers with either an Ethernet cable or a Wireless connection can create a home network. The easiest and cheapest method uses an Ethernet connection, which requires a series of network cards, a cable for each computer, and a router. The network card is similar to the old modems we used in the past to

connect to the Internet, however in a home network, it’s used to communicate with every computer that’s connected to it.

You’ll want to first, select the computers that will connect to each other and then install the network cards inside each of them. Then you’ll connect a cable to each computer that will communicate with the server. These cables won’t connect to the server directly. Instead, they’ll connect to the router. To enable Internet access for each computer, this router will need to connect with a modem of the host machine.

Once the hardware is set up correctly (you’ll need to read the instruction manual of your equipment for details), you can then setup the network from Windows on each machine. Within Windows, you can set up a home network similar to the way that you set up an Internet connection. Only this time, you’ll set up a LAN (Local Area Network) connection.

Windows should walk you through setting up a LAN after starting the computer and once complete, you can begin to connect one of your machines to the network. You can do this through Internet Explorer by typing in the address and password required to access the router (the address and password required to access the router will be in the router manual).

Connected to the network, each computer can send files back and forth, open programs on a remote computer, play the sound files and videos located on another computer, and share a single Internet account to browse the web, download files, or chat with someone in an entirely different country. If a single printer is available on only one computer in the network, every connected PC can send documents to it and print them out. Kids will enjoy the ability to play multi-player games and adults will enjoy the ability to blast a single message to everyone at once or maintain a group schedule.

Since we’re describing a home network that will connect to the Internet, you’re strongly advised to install a protective firewall program to thwart Internet viruses, worms, or other damaging spyware code. Firewalls

prevent – but they don’t repair. Only anti-virus and anti-spyware programs can reverse damage. So you should install a firewall on the computer that grants access to the computer, and then install an anti-virus and anti-spyware program on each of the remaining computers in the network.

If you have files that shouldn’t be shared (bank statements, credit card information, etc.), you can restrict their access in one of several ways. You can put them in a new folder and then remove the “read” permissions for that folder. Or you can specify who can (and who cannot) access specific files with a password from within Windows Control Panel.
