this, and the all-time-champion:

I've got 4GB of ram in my machine, but its only showing 3.x. what gives?

:mad:


I've never really believed in ugenics, but, if we could just prevent people who post that from breeding, in a few decades the world would be a better place, I just feel it in my bones.

And there's a fair sized posse of "is a 4850 any good/which card is the best bang for buck" posters too, though I'd suspect their personalities largely take care of the breeding problem. (I think I saw three lined up in a row yesterday....."which card £100-150, 4850 or GTS, and, should I upgrade to a 4850" or something. Thank $DEITY they don't use Linux, all that R'ingTFM would cause them a seizure.[1]


On a topic related point.................

How come my CPU causes a reboot the SECOND it hits 70? I mean 68,69,7wallop. Happens that way on two UTTERLY different motherboards, and with all manner of speed/voltage/multi/whatever settings. I thought the thermal control flummy may be guilty but it seems to still do it while that is disabled.
I appreciate that 70 is sort of the upper limit for safe operation, but this is like a switch, a thermal trip.




[1]guilty of posting for confirmation that a 4850 beats a GTS myself, but it WAS the first I swear ;)
