If your overclocking, i suggest use Heaven as a stress test, if you see any artifacts reset to a clock that didn't produce it. Random thought.

 

currently at 920mhz each on my factory oc of 900mhz on my radeon 7950's, so far so stable. Again if you see artifacts on screen then its not a good clock.

 

The trick is to slightly oc it so it won't stress the gpu.

 

If you take it to far the chances of a locked up control panel is high. So don't do it. It can be a risky thing.

Apparently a lady Judith blah bleh, came to Croatia to one of our Colleges to do a speech of how nazism and the holocaust created the homosexual movement. Then when people protested against her she said how she 'Never saw this many thugs like here'. We're also all 'indoctrinated'.

Srsly?

I received this from a very good friend and thought I would share it. It made me smile so much and he's right, memories are wonderful and need to be passed on....

 

... THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS ...

 

'Someone asked the other day, 'What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?'

 

'We didn't have fast food when I was growing up,'

 

I informed him.

 

 

 

'All the food was slow.'

 

Where did you eat?'

 

 

 

'It was a place called 'at

 

home,'' I explained. !

 

'Mom cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.'

 

 

By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table.

 

 

 

But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it :

 

 

 

Some parents NEVER owned their own house, never wore Levis, never set foot on a golf course, never traveled out of the country or had a credit card.

 

 

 

In their later years they had something called a revolving charge card. The card was good only at Sears Roebuck. Or maybe it was Sears &Roebuck.

 

Either way, there is no Roebuck anymore. Maybe he died.

 

 

My parents never drove me to soccer practice. This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer.

 

I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed, (slow)

 

 

 

We didn't have a television in our house until I was 19.

 

It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at midnight, after playing the national anthem and a poem about God; it came back on the air at about 6 a..m. and there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people.

 

 

I was 21 before I tasted my first pizza, it was called 'pizza pie.' When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered itself against my chin and burned that, too. It's still the best pizza I ever had.

 

 

I never had a telephone in my room. The only phone in the house was in the living room and it was on a party line. Before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line.

 

 

 

Pizzas were not delivered to our home But milk was.

 

 

 

All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers-- my brother delivered a newspaper, six days a week. It cost 7 cents a paper, of which he got to keep 2 cents. He had to get up at6AM every morning.

 

On Saturday, he had to collect the 42 cents from his customers. His favorite customers were the ones who gave him 50 cents and told him to keep the change. His least favorite customers were the ones who seemed to never be home on collection day.

 

 

 

Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies. There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive.

 

 

If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren

 

Just don't blame me if they bust a gut laughing.

 

 

Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?

 

MEMORIES from a friend :

 

My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it.. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old.

 

How many do you remember?

 

Head lights dimmer switches on the floor.

 

Ignition switches on the dashboard.

 

Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall.

 

Real ice boxes.

 

Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards.

 

Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner.

 

Using hand signals for cars without turn signals.

But I'm only 18! t-t

I don't like Blackjack chewing gum. Bleh. But I've had it before!

Those little wax bottles are in a lot of stores. At least here. Go to the little gas stations and stuff and they tend to have them. I do like these. :P

Candy cigarettes. xD I remember having those all the time when I was little. I don't see them anymore though.

We actually still have some records in our house. The record player unfortunately no longer works (we're cheap and tend not to buy the latest technology very quickly. Which leads to the old stuff we keep forever getting worn out xD ) :P

Same thing with the metal ice trays with a lever! Some of those laying about somewhere. Probably above our fridge. Somewhere. :happy:

Just went to a drive-in not to long ago! :D

 

Technically you could take the records and ice trays off, since I wasn't around when they were bought (well we bought records when I was little but it wasn't like they were still being made... Nope instead we had little tapes! So fun! Especially when you pulled the tape out of the little casing! And then winding it all back in. .-. Thank you whoever made CDs. Actually idk if its just me but I feel like a lot of things suddenly started changing in the 90s technology wise. It could just be that my family kept our TV

Looked like this kindahttp://fc04.deviantart.net/fs28/i/2009/247/6/3/Old_TV_5_by_Stock7000.jpg

until like... 2004. And us children still used it. The grown ups got the 100 pound black TV who's life recently ended. Just last year we got the first flat screen we've ever had. Like I said slow on getting the new stuff :P )
