Why do you even need wire then XD

I'd just let the solder do the work.

Oh, only half of the pins will make direct contact. The otehr few will need a minuscule extension.
You can see here.

Oh, that's kind of silly.

Do you have the resistor?

[Jazzmarazz]

Yes. I found it in an old RC car controller. "5 for one dollar".....NO! You will notice how cheap I really am.

Hey, as long as it's Yellow-Red-Orange-Gold or it says 47k on the side.

[Jazzmarazz]

Colors, yes. I dont think I have ever seen one that actually said the resistance.

[Lee]

It's mainly the really big ones.

[Jazzmarazz]

yeah, that would make sense. But again, im working with very small parts.
Actually, the text printed on would be much easier, and still fit. The caps I found are only about twice the size, and every one prints the microFarads and voltage.

Yup they do things kind of silly in electronics.

Sure people from other countries or languages will be able to interpret the code, but the still have to go through the trouble of finding out how!
It would be more simple to just figure out what "47" and "k" stand for. 2 things to figure out instead of three or four.

-This might not be the reason why it is this way though.

[Jazzmarazz]

Hm, none of them are solid core, so I will either have to buy some, or try to find some other wire around here...

So now that PCIe SSDs are available, do you think that virtual memory could potentially be a better idea than actual sticks of RAM?
They're expensive as hell, but each time i read the highlights I jizz a little.

Product Highlights

* PCI-E Interface & 160GB Capacity
* Internal Solid State Drive
* MLC NAND Flash Components
* Native TRIM Support
* No Moving Parts Increases Durability
* Shock Resistant
* 2 Million Hours MTBF

Delivers maximum read speeds of up to 740 MB/s, maximum write speeds of up to 690 MB/s, and sustained write speeds of 550 MB/s. It has also clocked 4K file writes up to 100,000 IOPS

Considering middle of the road ram is 2.5gb + read/write speed.

No.

Ram is too fast, the only thing that a SSD would accomplish is the ability to render extremely large models or something.

Still doesn't turn me off.

Yeah, the PCI drives are awesome.

But something like the Velociraptor is more cost effective.

If you're Quiji, yeah go for the PCI drives

My desktop is running at about 50% of its normal, what is a good program to speed it up,
I've already cleared all temporary docs and restarted it, and ended all non essencial processes, and it is still running slow
