Well idk about higher spec machines but I've always disabled it. Yeah it makes a difference if your machine is like a low end dual core with 8GB ram.Quote:

As I recall that's around what Grouch has, maybe only 4gb ram too.Quote:

This lappy I'm on right now is amd dual core 8GB ram.
The CPU is an old E2 budget type (kinda like old Intel Atom), has radeon graphics (no dedicated gpu ram).
Looks like Obi-Wan Kenobi as started, I can see the first 2 eps up.
I know Win. 10 doesn't have SPs. I wasn't sure about Win. 8 as I only used it briefly when it was relatively new.Quote:

It uses enough that you should disable it. Your specs are low and you don't need it for anything.Quote:

Try downloading stuff, moving files to an external HDD and watching youtube at the same time.Quote:

Finally found a nice complete promo copy of mgs4 :]
I should probably start doing some scans of covers I have now.... sometime soon
Should I also include a disc scan along with the cover? :shrug:
May as well?
Absolutely, someone could easily pop in and point out some variant you don't have and might want.Quote:

any of you guys ever watch a show called Nash Bridges? it's on one of the local stations and I've thought about watching it a few times but haven't as I've been shying away from "modern" cop/detective shows(well modern shows in general.
I've heard the name but never seen an episode.
was playing duke mukem EP2 earlier I'm so close to beating it but I'm on a level that is frustrating as hell it's 90% conveyor belts that move fast so it makes jumping hard as hell. I'm also close to beating commander keen I couldn't make it to the secret level though getting to it was proving too hard so I said screw it.
It's not exactly modern ('96-2001) But I've seen the odd episode. It's nothing great, but again I only saw a few. My Mom really liked it though. Don Johnson and Cheech star in it.Quote:

no kidding wow I might just have to check it out. Miami Vice is in my top 5 best cop/detective shows so if he's as good as he was in that it should be good.Quote:

totally agree with ya.Quote:

I think it might have been called dirk gently something detective agency it was an old british sci-fi book that involved time travel(it wasn't Dr.Who) man I wish i wouldn't have thrown that disc out there was some ebooks on it I'd like to read again
I had a quick look using keywords from your post. Sounds like it could be Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.Quote:

I was going to pick up new HW earlier this month but the seller changed their mind :shrug:.Quote:

There was a TV show made for it a few years back, which I enjoyed but apparently no one else did.Quote:

Moral of story: Always back-up before install/updating an OS. Unless you're doing a fresh install on a blank HDD/SSD.
