Good example of no tact and arrogance right there. [e classic];P[/e]

Jafo you have to admit you do get upset at times. For example look what happens when we talk American politics or American cars. Then the holier than thou attitude comes out.

I agree Wizard. It just seems Jafo is overbearing at times, more the rest of us. Maybe it's just me. [e digicons];P[/e]
There are times when he could use a bit more tact. [e digicons]>_>[/e]
[quote who="cardinaldirection" reply="13" id="3403038"]honestly i cant figure out why you reply to my posts. your tone always comes across as a snide attempt at self-indulgence, and rarely feels constructive.[/quote] That's just Jafo being Jafo. He thinks he knows it all. :)
Sure, why not. Have at it. [e digicons]^_^[/e]
[quote who="Illauna" reply="5" id="3402032"]There is a limit on how many times you can charge it. Ideally you want to fully discharge the battery (let your device die or 1%) then fully charge it for maximum battery life. Also not tablet related but Apple had reports of some of their iPhones 6s fatally electrocuting people...[/quote] iPhone 6?
I'm a bit surprised we don't have some people in hear discussing why using Ad Block is a bad thing. Used to happen all of the time.
Nokia would do better if they dump Windows and use Android.
Sorry RND - I didn't read your post till just now. Somehow it got skipped over. Thanks.
I have Belarc Advisor on my rig. I didn't know it could search a Windows DVD for the serial key. Interesting.
So I can install Vista, run this program you speak of and it will tell me what serial goes to the install CD? Assuming I can find a copy of Vista? Or if my friend wants to go back to Vista? I would think on this hardware Vista would be slower than 7.
This add on does not work well with Ad Block Plus.
Well what can I say? When I am fixing someone else's computer I tend to get caught up in the moment. Trust me, I'm just fixing it for a friend. It's too slow for my tastes. :)
The original post was meant for my friend's machine, I just worded it wrong. Nothing wrong with my machine. Runs as it should. As for the dire Google says it is OK up to 140F. I just think 123F is pushing it, but it is a SFF case. EDIT: I fixed the first post. I must have been tired when I started this thread.
Belongs to a friend, sorry for the confusion. By the way is the hard drive running at 123F good or bad?
You mean what's left of the sticker? LOL, half of it is missing.
Not my call guys. Maybe this rig has some kind of sentimental value to my friend. Or amybe he is just like me, can't afford to pony up $300 bucks for a new rig and would rather just upgrade this one over time, a part this week, a part next month.
Looks like I need to update my machines in the house. I may not have many updates, I don't allow .NET on my systems.
Yeah I put all the drivers on that I could find for Windows 7. Looks like it is just slow on Facebook, I've been running some tests. Even if I wanted to put Vista back on the machine I wouldn't do it. Vista is a curse, and I don't have any of the original recovery discs for Vista, and there is no hidden restore partition on the hard drive. I think what I will recommend to my friend is a cheap upgrade of the CPU to a dual core Athlon II X2, video card, and low profile video

[quote who="alaknebs" reply="42" id="3402181"]only thing i can say is that i can stick a pcie x16 3.0 card into a pcie x16 1.1 slot. worked fine for a couple or so months so far i think. before that, i think it was a pcie x16 2.1 card into the same slot for a couple of years?[/quote] Well I think I will try it.
