If you cant figure out how to make your FUCKING HUGE screenshot smaller, you lose. Period. It's 2011, no excuses.

Oh, LOL...I downloaded that for shits and giggles a while ago :D.

No, I don't OC, and I don't really game anymore. I don't know as much about hardware as most people on AT...still on my Conroe, XP desktop from 07 haha :p.

Thinking of updating your PC at any point? For the kind of use you get out of it you probably don't need to. But then I have a CRAZY PC and I hardly use 5% of its power. Got to fix that soon.

If you can't figure out that a desktop wallpaper thread is going to have some fucking huge screenshots then you lose. Seriously it's not much of a deal with broadband. The only excessive one is busydude's PNG post. Save that in JPG already!!

I have a 15/2 connection and my browser still trips out on the first page for a bit. :p

Not really...still have 100GB left on my hard drive and it's still enough juice for web stuff, music and watching video. Will probably keep this until it dies. I could see myself getting a laptop in a couple years when I'm ready to upgrade :p.

Yeah, your machine looks like it would tear though any game out there. Get into graphics rendering or professional photography maybe? lol

I've been into graphics rendering before, used to do it as a serious hobby. And I'm a fairly good amateur photography if I don't say so myself.

You're a "photography"? o_O Lulz...we have to work on your English man :p.

But yeah, you do take good photos. Where's the location for your next exotic photo shoot?

the forums do that for you automagically. if you're complaining about the time it takes to load then it's time to get off the shitty dsl. it's 2011 man.

edit: actually, 4mb is a bit obnoxious. i'll side with you on this one.

oh, also:

You beat your ass I'm a photography. I'm a fucking sweet photography! :cool: Need to cut the 23+ lbs I've put on since working at NCIX so this photography looks better though.
