Rooster90 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 If this thread is on the wrong part of the forums, by all means move it. Hey guys, just letting you all know that I'm not disappearing forever. I'll be gone this Tuesday - Sunday for some military training. On top of that, my computer decided to blow up on me today, which could extend my hiatus indefinitely. I'm pretty sure my PSU just got fried, but I'm not 100% sure. It was pretty dusty in there, could've caused a short anywhere. So I'm stuck on my iMac for now until I decide to get a new computer. Been talking about it for a while, now seems as good a time as any. Catch you all on the flipside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Sorry to hear about the PC man. I hope you get it fixed up soon. And, good luck with the training. Anything you can talk about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster90 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yeah, they actually no longer train to stick IV's in CLS anymore. They did when I first did it in AIT, but I was told they no longer did that. Idk why, but I'm a little relieved, lol. I sucked at it. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmokalot Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Suggestion, up your memory to 4GB at least when using 64bit. Believe it or not 64bit uses over 1GB By itself. But it allows you to utilize more then 3.25 to 3.5 GB of memory. 4GB should be a minimum to use it effectively. Plus memory is one of the cheapest additions per gain in performance that you can do. Hope this helps. Hope to see you in game soon! Edited April 5, 2011 by SirSmokalot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster90 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 SirSmoke: You must've missed my very last line in my specs post. The 2GB is the cheapest option i could chose on that site. They didn't have the memory i wanted. I'm getting 8GB of Ripjaw X memory. I think I'm covered, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
