Windows Mojave Commercial Flaw
If you have no idea what I Mean. Read This.
As a tech guy who works for a company with the word “Tech” In it’s name. As a tech guy who owns two websites with the word ” Tech” in their name. I have to point out an issue I noted when watching the commercial.
There is an issue they do not point out. I can directly point out which of the people they showed in the interview where not techy people. And I can point out the ones they picked because they looked like the stereo typical “computer geek looking” people. Fat guy, Oriental, middle eastern,skinny white guy with glasses.
First off, No tech knowledgeable person could for one minute sit in front of a computer with an unexplored operating system, without diving head first into exploration. No knowledgeable techy person would ever accept an operating system as “fast” form watching someone else use it, or watching a video of someone else use the operating system.
Typically there is a blank look in someone’s face when they are bsing you into believing they know more about computer than they really do. They also keep their hands near their face or wrench them with an anxiety of “please let me leave, I just signed up for a random survey and figured I could bs my way through it, I had no idea it was about computers. Please just pay me and get this over with so I can leave.” .
Some of the people in the video, they just show a briefing of them, but no show of reaction, either those people are just people who looked like nerds so they used them, or, those nerdy people really where nerdy and ended up ragging the operating system, so they didn’t show much of them.
It is clear the crowd was selected.
I myself have the operating system on the computer I am using. I really do like and enjoy allot of the features, But I also turned off a mess-load of useless resource hogging items off Meet Black Viper.
I have followed black Viper’s instructions, for many of operating systems.
I hope you see what I noticed and raise a stink saying ” Hey I am observant, not an idiot” .
sold old cumputer parts
all whent for 1/3 what I paid for the new components
sad thing is the parts I bought recently where all on sale
paid 307 for a pc update.. the old parts I paid 150 +80+80+75 +20
So yeah I took a hit. especially knowing the old parts are still good.
Colleen On the UGM Benchmark
We all screen shot her benchmarks at the same time,
We all have been coming in and out checking for updates on the ultimate gaming machine. Raggie34 (a regular there) has been showing up and helping like it was a paying job. His efforts should be remembered. his work is well done.
I had my window down while I dug around other sites and she flipped out with a huge “hoooyaaa!” so I looked.
And hit the screen shot.
I think I am the last to post so I have to say ” good job on the BenchMark and stability throughout!”

Nvision 08 , will it say any news?
Nvidia people everywhere and I just cant get one to tell me wether they are on mafia ii
Saints row, gtaiv
I just want them to tell me ” the way it’s meant to be played”
would give me some specs , we might not have expected.
I upgraded pc for gtaiv
I yanked out the old single core mother board and processor
with Amd754 64bit 3400 mb cpu
and the nvidia 7600 gs 512 mb ram
and two gig pc 3200 ddr ram
this computer was maxed out, the processor size was the max, the ram was the two gig max and the video card, well they don’t put out much for an agp slot, for less than about 300 bucks, and still make it worth having.
to install
Athlon 5600+ dual 64bit am2 (2900mghz)
2 gigs pc 6400 ddr2 corsair mem
EVGA nvidia 9500 gt with 512 ddr2
Crazy thing is, the memory will not max out till it gets seated with 16 gigs. Untill they sell 8 gig mem cards for cheap, and microslop allows you to install that much ( I believe 64 vista allows a large number , unsure what that is.) I will be fine with two gigs.
I of course had an issue installing xp. I kept seeing a lock up while trying to install Vista. So I tried the un-thinkable. I installed Xp 64 bit. Crazy, it fired right up and installed everything smoothly. I whent to all manufacture’s websites and bam…. the drivers ready and available.
I decided to go onthe regular benchmarking I do.
I started with gtaiii . The game that always lags when ou go through the underpasses, when branches pass over the car, or china town where the banners flap as you pass through. not one hitch,hiccup,fsb burp.
Windows xp 64, the operating system that was such a problem to everyone, now is the best I have ever seen. I can not believe what is going on,.
Next I jumped on vice city, walked out of the safe house jumped in a banshee and headed with teh shoreline to my right. I made it to the malibu club and about a block later… wait … wtf.. what did I see?.. I turned around.. right in front of the parking lot behind the club is a sign. !!! a sign!!! I get out of the banshee to read the sign and it says “no standing, no parking,m2” a bunch of other stuff and something that looked like the back of a bus.
Why have I never seen this before?… Well while I was standing there. people started walking up .. and they just stood there. Like they where waiting for a bus.. ok.. so the new card, ddr2 and the 64 bit combo just turned something on I have never seen before.. WHAT ?
So I drive around and test my typical lag areas. all was smooth.
I am about to jump into vice city and see what goes on there.
I like my machine now.
GTA IV On Pc Screen Shots
first screen shots are released
http://www.gta4.net/news/4122/iv-pc-shown-off-at-leipzig-9-screenshots-emerge/
The gta Network has been around a while, they are very good at getting information to their ring.
Sometimes rockstar feeds them.
Get to know the network.
Start with e the gta forums .
The first details and screenshots of the PC version of GTA IV have emerged online today. Features revealed include a replay editor, better search options for matches online, the ability to play with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse (for all the masochists out there) and of course polished visuals worthy of the platform. Oh, and also fingerless gloves.
- The number of multiplayer slots may be expanded for the PC version (16 is the limit for the console versions).
- The maximum resolution is 2560×1600.
- Players can record 30 second clips and then they can add filters and adjust the camera angle using the replay editor. They can also paste clips together and then upload them to R* Social Club for others to view online.
- Players can search for multiplayer games more specifically (e.g. a deathmatch with pistols only).
- The Xbox 360 controller is compatible with the PC version.
GTAiv On pc , First details
Rockstar has revealed the first details of the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV.
The game was shown off at the Leipzig Games Convention today by PR man Steve Hahnel. He began by promising much improved visuals, saying they’ll be “polished well beyond what they were on the 360 and PS3”.
New features will include a replay editor. Whenever you’re playing the previous 30 seconds of gameplay will be recorded, so at any time you can stop and watch what you just did. You can also edit footage – chop it up, add filters, switch camera angles and so on.
There will also be a montage editor that lets you link together multiple 30-second clips. You’ll be able to share the movies you make via the internet and the Rockstar Social Club.
Hahnel also hinted there are plans to add new multiplayer options. Noting there is online play for up to 16 players in the console versions of GTA IV he added, “We’re expanding on that” – but didn’t offer any further details.
However, Hahnel did say there will be new filters so you can have more control over the type of matches and races you take part in. If you just want to play with pistols, for example, that will possible. The whole idea is to make it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.
The rest of the demo consisted of a playthrough of the Three-Leaf Clover mission seen in the console game. This was played using an Xbox 360 controller, and Hahnel confirmed you’ll be able to choose this or the traditional keyboard option in the finished game.
The visuals do indeed look more polished – lighting is more realistic and there’s a much higher level of detail on both characters and environments. Movement animations are smoother but could still do with a bit of work; Nico runs down stairs like he’s got a wonky ankle. Still, as Hahnel was careful to point out, GTA IV is still “a work in progress” and there’s “a lot of polishing and cleaning” to do before the game is released on November 24th.
all quoted from EuroGamer
Well looks like the guys on gtaforums.com in the pc section, are celebrating tonight as we see the game will have better details than the console (due to 2 year newer/better graphics cards than the consoles).
It’s great they made video editor, to bad they won’t let you turn it off to save resources.
Oh well great stuff, I will be gaming this.
Ok, I need your help,spamming my sites.
I have been very busy with my social sites.
I will index them all in google and yahoo very soon. When I am done after I get a few people on each of them and get a few complaints and requests so
I can tweak the site. The launches will all be at the same time. So yeah I will get very drunk and and celebrate my efforts on that day.
Thanks to those who have helped and believed in my efforts and knew that I could do this.
I will take two shots for each of ya.
This is what I have been wasting my time with.
and
I am sure atleast one pertains to your interests in some shape or fashion.
Do me favor, Sign up to one and make a post for me.
I need to see how well the sites handle stuff before I go full
release with this stuff. Also let me know what you think and what you
might want to suggest.
Will Your Computer Handle GTA IV?
The current estimated specs for optimal running Grand Theft Auto IV Is 2 gigs ddr ram,7200 nvidia with 128 megs ram, 3 gig processor/cpu . Direct x 9, but ten will give you more,so you might want a dx10 video card. All resource hogging junk in vista turned off. Basically you are better off with XP and heading to black viper’s site and use his method of turning off themes and everything else you do not use when you are a gamer. 800mhz fsb . Broadband internet.
Be sure and run the best cooling on your machine. Pretty much all of what is out now, is going to get hot as hell when you are playing the game (GTA IV) on your computer.
The water detail is amazing, with trash floating in the water, not on the water, but really swirls around in the water as you walk or drive in it.
There is no official announcement of grand theft auto IV being out for pc gamers as of yet, but there is no opposing info. So let’s not completely rule this out. So yeah, I have hope.
I have a spot where you can vote for a pc version at iworkwithtech.com/gtaiv It’s better than a stupid petition.
