    cpu future platforms, last of FX series chips til 2015

    would you all say going from 4gb to 8gb even if still keeping my current cpu is quite an upgrade for games like battlefield 4? i have a feeling all 4 gigs are currently already being used up by the game. i have it on medium settings at 1080p

    An idea for mechanically storing energy

    what about... different tracks with metal balls following straight lines, on the bottom on each side (imagine a teeter totter) there will be a simultaneous spring that stretches across all metal tracks for the metal balls. the metal balls will be off set to not only keep the balls rolling...

    Riding a bike VS. Running

    if you want to get in shape, your workout must raise your heartrate above 120 beats per minute if you plan to loose any weight at all. i walk about 5 miles a day for my job alone and its been 5 weeks now, i have not lost any weight because even though i sweat, my heart rate does not rise high...

    mainly, what i have seen and from performance benchmarks, it only makes sense to go with crossfire if you have big resolutions. but this was about a year ago when i researched it hardcore. things could have changed

    file corrupt, random browser crashes, what?!?!

    no problems yet running strong. johnney5 i would suggest when running windows memory diagnostic hit f1 and select EXTENDED test then hit f10 to apply the setting and it will reboot and do the extended test which is much more sufficient than the basic test.
