  1. Yes I meant stress, sorry. I want to compare both of my PC's to see how they perform in a stress test. Basically I want to have a regular work load, then add stress to it and see the differences. Then when I upgrade my CPU on the older one, I can do the same test again and see if it was worthwhile or not.
  2. I want to do a test that will stretch out both of my PC's - HP SFF i5-4570 using iGPU with 12GB of ram and i7-920 using GTX-650 with 12GB of ram, in a real world test, just CPU performance. Basically the stuff I do every single day on the computer. Internet - I need to know what I should do in terms of internet. How can I max out my CPU performance. Should I just have multiple windows open with multiple tabs of flash and youtube or is there something else that I can do to stretch out the CPU performance. Gaming - Well I dont play a lot of games. The games I do play I tend to like indie games. I dont really know what indie games means, but I like cheesy, cheap looking games where the graphics aren't where its at. The only other game I play is World of Tanks, I play that one a lot. But in order to stretch out my systems, I am willing to buy a game worth $10 or $15 on Steam. I dont really want to test out the graphics beacuse my HP i5-4570 uses iGPU while my i7-920 uses a GTX-650. So maybe using gaming to stretch out CPU performance is not the key. I dont know if games are CPU intensive. Any advice or suggestions on what I can do here. Or should I just run certain benchmarks. I have never run any benchmarks before so I hope it does not cost money to run benchmarks.
  3. That is what I am thinking, I dont think anyone can spoof the CPU id system. Its easy enough for them to print something on the cpu case though so thats why I ask. Yeah the packaging can totally be easily counterfeited. Just eye balling some Xeons, sometimes there is a big jump from the handful of cheapest ones to more expensive units. But all in all they are all very reasonably prices, X56yy Xeon's. Its just that the CPUbenchmarks go from X5650 and X5690 and no inbetween. But I am guessing I can correlate a linear pattern from the 2, am I right? What do I mean by that? Well lets say on a graph, you mark the lowest X5650 and the highest X5690 and you connect the dots, so a X5650 is close to a X5660 (both are 6 cores)
  4. Are there tests you can do? Or is it simply installing the CPU and running CPUZ or letting Windows recognize it. I am thinking about ordering a CPU from China but I am very worried about not getting the genuine article. See they can counterfeit so many things over there. I know its probably irrational to think that a North American would never do it.
  5. There would be some tape specifically made for your purposes, I am sure of it.
  6. No the bum wasnt causing a disturbance, he just sat down and the young punk manager was on him like a fly to shit. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people harass homeless people when they are not doing anything. I stick up for them, they are a vulnerable part of our society and pigs harass them while they let Richie Riches slide. I talked to one bum last night, while on the transit system and I tried to help him out. All he wanted was to charge his phone, and he was drinking a Tim Hortons Mocha slush with booze in it. I treat them like humans. The bums standing outside Walmart are not bums, they got clean clothing, usually a dog with them for the Pity effect. The one that stands next to the order menu at the drive through is old, has a walker probably for the Pity effect. There is another bum that when I see him/them they always have a huge load of bottles, I have even seen their customers drop off bottles to them. But are they camping out, fuck no. I got more respect for the bums that camp out and I try to help them out. One particular bum would walk around city hall I'd never see him anywhere else. Matty beard, picking food out of dumpster. You talk about mentally fucked thats him. Look it comes down to this, in this city these bums never go hungry and they never have to sleep on the street. Some need help, most dont. I choose to give to a certain breed of bum, the real true bum, and when I see an injustice I like to get into the mix and lay some beats.
  7. Thats just the thing @Thunderpup - You dont really know what the authorities do in cases like this. Its like bank robbery you never hear of the amount they stole. However if one is smart about doing crime and if they plan ahead, you could easily steal $4M and stash a couple million somewhere whether it be over sea's or in a hole in the ground somewhere. As far as investments go, you would never be able to do that because the government would be garnishing any legitimate earnings you made. Thats not to say you could still earn a living, it would just be cash jobs under the table if you were working for someone, or if you had your own gig there would be easy ways to set up shell companies or just work for cash. Either way it would be wise to leave the country to a more affordable living country, its tempting to say Mexico or Honduras but those countries have the highest murder rate due to the trafficking of drugs which relates to extortions and a host of other crimes. @dalekphalm - Cost of a Pardon is cheap in my opinion, about $1500 and yes it takes time but well worth it in the end. I know several people who have gotten pardons and it never took them 2 years, quite a bit less but their cases were simple and not spread out geographically. Yes its the amount of time YOUR willing to do, not what is given because that is all dependant on the lawyer you hire, the judge and the crown. For the same crime under the same circumstances with the same history you can get a wide variation in the sentence. It all depends on how everyone is feeling that day and if the balance is just right. A 2.01 year sentence equates to less then 6 months in the pen for a "clean" cat, which would be eaten up in Remand time which is what I would do even though it is much harsher then pen time, mentally speaking but you wouldnt have to worry about politics while inside though not much of that goes on while doing your bit in Canada. Everyone just wants to stay minimum you know. Its the max + med cats that puff out their chests. I would have to agree that this type of crime would be suitable for someone who has menial job pay. Even at $50k/yr = $26/hr minus 26-29% tax rate (fed) + 10% (prov) they would rake in $30k/yr so a $2M jackpot is 60 yrs worth of working. Now lets say their income if working increased to $75k/yr at 10 yrs minus taxes = $45k even then $2M is 50 years. $100k = $60k = 40yrs. $150k = $90k = 30yrs. All given the same tax rate, even though in reality that wouldnt be the case. Thats not to say you can still work and easily make that income, it would be very easy to do actually. There would be some sectors that a police check is required but those in general are not well paying jobs. Child care, elderly care, medical. While construction is ideal when not working on government stuff.
  8. I do not know if it is conductive, but its staticy as fuck though.
  9. Maybe try Yahoo or MSN search, I find they are better.
  10. I was at Subway and a dude was short $2.50, I was in holiday cheer this was Boxing Day Dec 26, 2016 a few days ago. I paid the young lads outstanding balance as his buddy was in the shitter. I felt its better to do that then give it to a fucking bum. They are everywhere now those fucking bums. Outside of Walmart, in the drive through lanes at Tim Hortons. Its really annoying to see fucking bums around. I laugh at them when they have a sign up that says "Havent eaten" I tell them where the soup kitchens are and they dont listen. I pay more respect to native bums because they lost so much. I gave one 2 McDoubles a month ago. The dude was hammered and about to be banned from the store as the managers were calling the pigs on him. Fucking young knucklehead manager, I just wanted to punch the kid out but it was a Friday and the store was busy. I came back an hour later wanting a drink and McDicks was uploading their receipts to head office so I couldnt buy nothing. @AniJan - You seem to post a lot of threads about food. I wonder if there might be something behind that.
  11. each area has different websites they use over another website. Castanet is popular in BC Kijiji over Craigslist for most of Canada
  12. Hmmmmmm no they dont, they stare at it like a deer in head lights while they are walking.
  13. Keep the i7-920, LGA1366 with overclocker mobo 2x 500GB and 12GB DDR3 Yeah I know thats what I was thinking too. I come to realize that. Pro's = I could overclock it Cons's = Its older then 4770, fewer pcie lanes, older usb 2.0 For the i7-4770 Pro's = Newer, I could have a system running for $300. I found a Z97 board for $80 same price as H81 and B85. Cons's = Not overclockable I am thinking I could sell my i7-920 system and break even, I'd keep one of the 500GB HDD's and some ram I would actually probably make $50. I could sell it for $250cdn and I think someone would buy it. http://www.overclock.net/t/1537411/i7-920-vs-i7-4770k/10 Tell me this, is it fun to play with OC'ing?
  14. I am getting caught up in the benchmark fog. I look at the benchmarks and see my current i7-920 sucks ass. I know I can get a Xeon X56yy and be on par with newer cpu's. I know it aint worth buying a higher 900 series i7. i7-920 is ranked 225 speed at 51% Gaming 52% Desktop 36% Workstation (already have) i7-4770 is ranked 26 Speed 82% 83% 59% (cost $200cdn) Xeon X5650 is ranked 106 Speed 68% 64% 55% (ebay cost $65) Xeon X5690 is ranked 62 Speed 75% 70% 61% (ebay cost $220) I would assume a six core X5670 or something half way between would be in between so ranked 84 speed and 71% 67% 58% (cost $85) which is close to a i7-4770 ranked 26 Speed 82% 83% 59% So I just talked myself out of buying a 4770 because I would need a mobo as well. How much would one cost? I think its LGA 1150 right. So $75 for a cheap one off Newegg.ca All in for a i7-4770 I would be spending CPU $200, mobo $75, already have a psu, hdd and ram. $300. For my i7-920 system I paid $200cdn for it everything. Add in the new used Xeon, I'd be right at the $300 mark. I dont know what to do. I think having over clockability is good with a Xeon am I right? Could probably match the 4770 if not exceed it am I right?
  15. I edited it thanks Remember that in Canada you can get a Pardon which wipes your slate clean after 3(Summary) or 5 years (Indicment). You record is sealed until you fuck up again then it can be re-opened. The employer does not have access to a CPIC scan in Canada which the cops run when they run your name. There are different levels of that scan. I know a friend of a friend who had worked for Telus and Rogers who used to rob banks and bars and no it wasnt decades ago, like a few years ago more like it. He explained to me the CPIC scan, great guy until he drinks. He basically tells the employer Yes I was convicted of a crime, it was DUI or something but I am clean and sober now. So when the company goes and does their background check, its a generic yes or no that question "Do you have a criminal record" or "Have you ever been convicted of a crime" I know once you are convicted in the States you are pretty much fucked, some have had success changing their names, but I dont really know how that works. I can see how that gets around the Google effect, where people google your name. Or the records check some websites do for names. I used to work with a guy who had a reno company doing high end homes. I did demo and concrete for him and he got nabbed for $5M from homeowners. He had a show on TV, was sober so he said for 12 years or so. He did the same crime in 2000, but it was just a car from some old folks. I dont know the case details of either, I dont even think the current case is even through the courts yet. Canada has a real problem with the court system backing up, they need to hire more judges and crown prosecutors but as usual the government is pretty stupid. A few criminals are getting off on their crime because of delays. I dont understand the poll, so some of you want to steal $4M and have $2M cash waiting for you when you get out, but you would do 4-6 years? I would assume everyone would want to do a 2 yrs plus a day. But I guess the question should have been, or maybe I did write it that way. What is the maximum amount of time you are willing to do for $2M cash. For me, IF and thats a big IF I did do it, I would emigrate out of country. Move to another country where the cost of living is low but the crime rate is reasonably not too high. I would not renounce my citizenship though, I would still have a "home" in Canada just in case I would require or need any medical services.
  16. You dont do the full term Dan. In Canada it is 1/6 the term for non violent, non drug, no gun crime. It might be 1/5 for good behaviour. Sometimes I read about people getting double or triple time for Remand time. I should have added which penal system it is in. Let me think about that one. I would have to say USA as its much harsher penal system then Canada (So I hear). For example if you sit in Remand for 6 months, you get 1 year taken off your actual jail time (so I read). If its over crowded you get 1.5 yrs credit. Me personally, I dont know what I would do.
  17. This is my first time doing a Poll. The question is - Would You Steal Millions From Corporate America and do a bit in the Penitentiary for $4M with $2M cash waiting for you when you get on the outs? Circumstances of the theft would be this is your first theft over, your first offence in this category of criminal law.
  18. Where would it say that the CPU is removable and not soldered? The specification sheet wouldnt say it. @TAHIRMIA - Oh I know that all too well. The SFF's are fucking small.
  19. If I buy a Dell SFF computer, would I be able to take the cpu out of it and build up a pc around that? I read some cpu's are soldered in. How much is a used i7-4770 worth? please note the currency you are using so I can convert. Thanks
  20. ^Back in World War 2, since then I cant think of any war. Its been about fighting for - the spread of Democracy or - to get oil/gas. ^Free world? hahahahahahahaha ^yes The culture of the 1st world is they want shit they hardly ever if ever use. How many clothing items, vehicles, houses, crap, shit does one person need? People in 3rd world countries are happier then us in the 1st world. You slap a 1st worlder into a 3rd world to sleep on dirt, would you see them smiling? Everything is based in the mind. 95% mental 5% physical
  21. What have you published?
  22. I wouldn't even trust a watch enthusiast for spending that kind of coin. Even if it costs you a $100 for a watch experts 15 minutes, its money well spent.
