What is Priming, and how do i do it?

[piotrgurin]

I take it that its some sort of test of stability.

can any1 tell me more?

Sounds like you're talking about Prime95. Just google for it. It'll be at a site named mersienne.org (sp?).

D/l and install. Under options select Torture Test etc. Used to test stability, especially after OCing etc.

It'll loop continuosly. Let it go for 12-24hrs. Should be zero/no errors if your PC is stable.

GASP!!!!! RIBBON13 is BACK!!!! W00T W00T!!!!!!

I'm writing up a useless peice of c++ code that should be a good tester too. It will go in mindless loops of PI calculations over and over and over, and it will post all the answers on the screen in real time, which should be about 40 per second depending on your CPU.

also how do i check frame rate in game?

 

[AMCRambler]

check frame rate? first you wanna spend a few hours levelling up without saving(this should heat things up good). then hit alt-f4 to bring up the frame rate.

 

[piotrgurin]

hehehe, no rreally, is there any way?

 

[AMCRambler]

I think it depends on the game dude. I think there's a utility called FRAPS that you can download to do it also. Believe it's freeware or shareware.

 

[piotrgurin]

ah, i'l lcheck it out.

for now BF2

Ribbon hath returned! :Q

Where you been man?

 

[Zepper]

Saying it that way is an extremely sloppy and lazy use of language. Who's so lazy that they can't type running Prime95 instead of "Priming"???
