I guess I’ve always felt that Jackie Brown was Tarantino's absolute best work. It seems to me like audiences were expecting something quite different after the hype surrounding Pulp Fiction, so they maybe didn't embrace the movie in the way it deserved, even though back in 1997 it managed to snag two Golden Globe nominations, though the competition that year was probably incredibly intense.

I have an Apple laptop from the 3 series, equipped with 8GB of RAM, an Intel Core i5 3210m processor, and dual graphics—specifically switchable Intel HD Graphics 4000 and Radeon HD 7730M. The issue I'm running into is that both GPUs seem to perform almost identically during gaming; in some titles, the AMD one performs better, while in others it doesn't, even though it really should be delivering nearly double the FPS compared to the Intel one. What makes things even stranger is that in the PassMark software, the difference is actually there, with the AMD card showing much higher performance (in fact, all the components in this laptop seem to outperform average specs), and what’s even more confusing is that just a few months ago, everything was working fine and I was getting much better FPS in every game. I'm running Windows 10 (ver. 1803), all my drivers are completely up to date, and I even tested this on Windows 7 and saw the exact same thing. The processor and the GPU don't seem to be overheating at all during games (the CPU stays around 75 C and the GPU stays at 65 C). The AMD card runs at its set clock speeds (575 and 900 MHz), but the usage remains quite low, maybe around 25-35% in most games, so I wonder if that might be causing the low FPS. I should probably mention again that this problem only started appearing a couple of months back; before that, everything worked perfectly fine.

Is it possible to make a change to Dana Murphy4's profile?

I suppose so. You might want to reach out to Nice about it.

Hi there. Is it possible to change the username for Dana Murphy4?

Sure thing. Just reach out to New Orleans.

I was wondering if it might be possible to reuse a product key that originally came pre-installed on a machine.
So, I have an Acer laptop, and there's a sticker on it showing a product key for Windows 7 Home Premium, which was the version that came factory-installed when I first bought the laptop. Right now, though, I'm running Windows 10, and before that, I had Windows 7 Ultimate installed. I guess I'm just curious if it's actually legal to download Windows 7 Home Premium and use that old key again to get everything properly activated. I tried downloading Home Premium from the Microsoft website using that specific key, but I ran into an error because the key was already tied to the pre-installed version. I suppose I'm wondering if there's some other way to download it, or if that key will even work at all.

I guess having two extra players on the field five minutes before the end should have been enough to clinch it, but maybe they just didn't capitalize on it, which I suppose was their own fault. It feels like Cupic tends to struggle when the pressure really ramps up, and honestly, there isn't much else to say besides the fact that the Polish team simply outplayed them today.

Yeah, I completely blanked on the VGA adapter part, so I don't think that's going to be much of an issue for me, but I am wondering about this extra power supply thing. I guess I'm just curious if there needs to be a specific dedicated spot on the power supply unit to plug that cable in, or if it works some other way.

Oh, I guess I should probably mention that I really need something that doesn't require its own extra power supply, and it definitely needs to have a VGA output, so maybe the one mentioned above isn't quite the right fit after all.

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest a used and budget-friendly graphics card that I might be able to find on sites like eBay for maybe around $30 (which would be roughly 25-$67).
Right now, I'm using a Radeon HD 4350 512mb, but I've been having some issues with it, so I really need to swap it out.
My power supply is a Trendsonic 500 w and my screen resolution is 1280x1024.
I suppose I'm looking for recommendations for cards that fit those specs, but something that can handle watching GTA san Andreas on High settings reasonably well—nothing too heavy beyond that. I'd definitely like something better than my current Radeon HD 4350 512mb, since right now I can only manage to run GTA san Andreas at that resolution on low settings.
If there are any cheap options that meet these needs, I think they would really help me out, as I'm pretty broke at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

I was wondering when I might be able to perform an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, and if I guess the drivers I used on Windows XP might stay behind once the upgrade is finished. Specifically, I'm thinking about my ATI graphics card, because since I know the Windows.old folder remains, maybe the drivers do too?

Arthur Lewis2 said:It should run pretty smoothly, though I guess you shouldn't overload it with too many programs, and you probably won't be able to keep a ton of things open at once.

I was wondering if increasing the Virtual Memory might help at all? Maybe that could improve the performance just a little bit.🤷

So, I'm thinking about installing Windows 7 Ultimate on this PC, but I'm honestly not sure if everything is going to run smoothly without any lagging or stuttering issues.
The specs are:
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2160 @ 1.80 GHz
1.00 GB DDR2 800 MHz
ATI Radeon HD 4350 512 MB

I guess I'm just a little uncertain whether this setup will handle everything perfectly, so I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on this...
Thanks in advance 🙂

IMDb: Contraband
Trailer: Contraband
Genre: Action, Thriller

Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Kate Beckinsale, Ben Foster and more.

I guess Mark Wahlberg leads the cast in "Contraband," which seems to be an intense thriller about a man trying to escape a life he’s been running from for a long time, all while doing whatever it takes to protect his family. Set in New Orleans, the story dives into the dangerous world of international smuggling—where you have desperate criminals, corrupt cops, high stakes, and massive payouts—it feels like a place where loyalty is rare and danger is everywhere.



In theaters: January 13

I haven't actually sat down to watch Fast Five yet, though I've heard from a few people that it's also quite good 😁

I watched the first one and I thought it was actually pretty cool 😁
But I didn't really watch the whole thing, just certain parts here and there 😁

I guess I think he's a pretty solid actor, especially when you look at his work in movies like Doom and The Scorpion King. 😁

I guess that’s more or less what I was trying to get at. 😁
