Ugh, what is going on with this thing? I'm trying to install Chrome and the image keeps "flickering" or jumping around like crazy 🙄 🙄

Is it just me, or am I losing my mind here?

Man, what a headache. Now that I've finally gotten used to Opera, switching to something else feels like a chore, doesn't it? 😢 😁 😁

restlessmaker2 said:Honestly, it’s no surprise. That browser is absolutely crushing the competition right now.

I'm not totally sold on it yet. I mean, if I didn't have Opera, maybe I would... and if it handled opening multiple tabs within the same window better, I’d probably make the switch. 🙂

But seriously, which browser out there isn't just some cheap imitation or a glorified shell of Internet Explorer? Nothing actually beats IE.

so, www.napster.com

isn't even an actual program, it's just a website🙂

Yesterday my mom asked me to grab an Ed Elvis track for her, and I was honestly shocked at how many hits OperaDC pulled up for it, while Napster Lite barely showed anything—and that's even with that weird extra search tool active

Guys, seriously, there’s way better stuff out there than Napster 🙂

And when it comes to local artists, nothing beats ......, I mean, I literally downloaded an entire new Foo Fighters album in one go the other day 🙂

Mr. X said:I don't need anything legal since my whole setup is unofficial anyway. I don't need free stuff either because I just make it free myself. And honestly, I don't even need Sophos because I haven't
caught a single thing in over three or four months...

BTW, nice avatar. Is that ABC News you're rocking now? lol

Forbes
Mr. X😁

Haha 😁

I took down the photo so I wouldn't annoy you guys too much😁

😂😈😈

Well then take it down, stop wasting everyone's bandwidth😉 😉

mr. ex said:It’s free for me🙂

BTW I don't even bother with antivirus because I'm pretty careful about what I click, plus I've ditched IE for Netscape...

LOL
mr. ex😁

Man, if that's the case, you might as well just grab a free one—like, actually free, say AVG—then at least you're running something legal and free, and honestly, it'll probably stay ahead of Sophos for another decade anyway.

Eric Gonzalez11 said:NOD32 is hands down the best. It’s tiny, super simple, doesn't hog your system resources, and just works perfectly.👍

Plus, it isn't even that pricey... I can't remember the exact price right now... but you can actually find ways to get it for free too.😁

$107 😁

Ivansa said:Of course I don't have anything against 👍
I totally blanked on that. If anyone else has an idea, feel free to toss it in there. We could always include Crazy browser (someone mentioned it earlier).

As for Crazy browser... it's basically just a shell for Internet Explorer.

So, what do you get when you wrap a pile of crap in a fancy shell?

I’m actually a big fan of Opera because it comes with a built-in pop-up blocker, plus I love how having just one single instance open for all my windows keeps things so simple.

Raymond Rodriguez40 said:driftingnomad68..how's the LCD?
Ever since you picked it up.. you've been totally MIA... what's going on?

I don't get it, where am I missing from?😕

I'm around all the time, really, I just don't have much free time lately because I've been busy doing some yard work around the house😁

The LCD is great 👍 👍 👍

driftingnomad68 said:so 100x13= 1300 mhz, if that actually worked, it would be 1500+

If it actually worked, it’d be totally fine, since either way, the memory is old, just SDR

The memory inside is 133 mhz.

------------------------------

What's the point of those silly names like KT133 if it doesn't work that way? They used the exact same logic for the KT266/a and 400/a too

But hey, I've got my Barton 2600+ running at 2000 mhz (167x12) on an Epox 8 KTA with a KT333 chipset 🙂

Look, I actually put it together (I'm pretty quick, haha 😁) , it's running at 1300 megahertz with a temp of 42C, and the BIOS claims it's an AMD Athlon (TM) 20 Mhz (4x5.0)

😂

Windows has no clue what's going on, but Sandra says it's 1.3 Ghz. Performance-wise, it barely beats an Athlon 1.2 Ghz and it's slightly weaker than an Athlon xp 1600+ (1.4 Ghz), so yeah, all good 🙂

Mr. X said:McAfee👍

They have the biggest library of "famous" viruses, plus regular updates...

Man, I really hope you're just pulling my leg here.

I mean, that thing is basically useless unless you're constantly glued to the internet, following some long-winded, step-by-step guide just to clean up a single infection.

And the price? It’s like $300, and don't even get me started on the cost of updates 🙄

It feels like all these antivirus programs (especially Norton) just love to cram themselves into everything, but I don't think a clean uninstall of McAfee should cause that kind of mess—not for me, anyway. With Norton though,

That's wild... I was visiting this lady the other day, and she claims she's been using Notepad for three years straight? Like, seriously? And she doesn't have any actual software installed. 🙄 🙄 🙄

(She's got Office 2000 running on her PC right next to it, too...)

Code:

dustypilot23 said:The VIA K8T330 board runs at a 100 MHz Front Side Bus, while the VIA K8T330A hits 133 MHz..

I think they both have multipliers up to 14..
So you could max out at 1400 for the VIA K8T330, or maybe hit 1850 with the VIA K8T330A...

Not sure what that works out to in PR terms 😬 but basically you can slap any Socket A processor in there..

(I actually just popped a 1700+ into my old VIA K8T330 board recently 👍 )

So, 100x13 = 1300 MHz. If that actually worked, you'd be looking at 1500+

If it did work, it'd be totally fine, since the memory is old anyway—just SDR

The RAM in there is 133 MHz.

What's even the point of those silly KT133 names if it doesn't work like that? They used the exact same logic for the KT266/a and the 400/a too.

But hey, I've got a Barton 2600 running at 2000 MHz (167x12) on an ASUS A7V with a KT333 chipset 🙂
