Tips on increasing processing capacity (applicable to all DC projects)

Although not a low cost solution, I have found that greatly reducing the
resistance presented to the flow of electricity to the computing unit offers a very
impressive improvement in processing capacity. Although it is a complicated process
learned and perfected in advanced EE classes, I try to explain it in
layman's terms:

1) locate the repositionable linear electrical access accessory (it's
usually the black component extending from the PSU),
2) determine the location of your local high voltage power port (typically
found in the wall),
3) while carefully positioning the alignment pins located on the access
accessory, fully connect the accessory to the power port.

Optional step for the electrically advanced:

4) activate the electrical conductance mechanism.

This worked for me. Your results may vary.

I know two EEs and I will try and remeber to ask them about it. Maby one of them will do it for me.

Another popular performance enhancing development step:

Locate the awn/awf mode selector device..... Apply gentle physical agitation until the resulting displacement repositions it to the awn coordinates.

Say no more. I too found dramatic improvement merely by
removing the integral filter material from the bulbs, which
material, it turns out, is made entirely of cardboard.
That difference was like night and day. ;-)

George Booth gave such an excellent description of how to
increase the brightness of lights -- and it works for lots
of kinds lights, not just AHS -- that I won't repeat it
here.

I just want to add what a Navy weapons technical officer
told me once when I asked him why the missile defense
system didn't protect a certain ship from an missile. "No
one checked for the correct orientation of the Oh-EfEf
Oh-En configuration interface."

Hey....I'm an EE.....maybe I can do that too! :Q

/me goes to check!

No! :Q

Sorry ALL am not an EE just a Journeyman Electronics Mechanic and Master Electrician! Can design controls, do industrial programming fix the circuit boards, but not design it! But it is amazing the numbers of problems fixed by just the OFF/ON device!😀
 
It's all a matter of balance 😛

6 yr. USN (Gotta get yer mind right!)
6 yr. as Electronics Technician (Gotta learn how to actually DO something)
13 yr. as Electronics Hardware Design Engineer (Cease to function productively, but get $$)

I had to give up chewing gum years ago..... Too Dangerous 😱

 
10 years USN Electronics Tech (learned how to make engineers ideas work!)
4 years USAR Water Filtration (again made engineers ideas work......)
6 years Master Electrician (now telling engineers what WILL work!)
Nothing against engineers, but paper theory and design doesn't always work with ignorant operators!




😀😉😎
 
Yeah, it's funny.

I like to think I kept a wee bit of common sense despite the sheepskin. (but I'm sure there are those who would disagree)

🙂

I work R&D, so I get to think it up, build the prototype, design and run the test, tweak it.... lather rinse repeat..... It's a good life
 
us texas boys must be kinda slow, will it work with winders98? You know the edition where the start button says click here furst, and turn table = windows media player and typeriter = microsoft word.

True story though, my wife came home yesterday and said they were having problems opening a cd-rom drive where she works, her boss finally pried it open with a screw driverand found a 1.44 floppy disk stuck in the tray from an employee's desk that was on maternity leave. Kinda takes you back to the good ol' remove the disk from the cover on the 5 1/2 disks when people kept removing the plastic casing around the media huh?

That reminds me of the old classic, "The computer is eating my [5.25in] disks!" where the client inserts the disks in the crack below the 5.25in disk drive and the disks end up piled high inside the computer. 😀
 
"The primary function of the design engineer is to make things hard for the fabricator and impossible for the service man."

Goes great with:

"There comes a time in the life of every project when it becomes necessary to shoot the engineers and begin production."

Both of these were told to me by my dad - a safety engineer with General Motors for 37 years. 🙂


 
How about some pics or a website that would show us what we need to do... Otherwise if this is a joke, I am just too stupid to understand...

I feel very stupid and very left out.

I thought you were using fancy terms to say plug the computer in, but maybe not 😕
 
Another simple tip for increasing DC processing capacity is to install a Cirrus Logic 1Mb PCI video card and remove any others that may be installed, particularly ones with good 3D acceleration. I don't know for sure why this works. Maybe a driver issue or something. An unfortunate side effect is that the computer can't run most 3D games. 😛

I can only imagine how stupid LyNx01 must be feeling now!!!!!! :Q😉😛

Of course i got it straight away 😛
