    @pulley999 or whatever it is:

    http://www.evga.com/support/stepup/

    Evga does Still do step up

    @bluescreen is it just Firefox? Or does it do it on IE and chrome as well? If only firefox or firefox & chrome but works fine on IE then its probably msoft way of getting people to use IE

    Don't have Chrome, and it barely loads on IE6. Probably just shit on all browsers.

    Firefox has the worst rendering system performance like ever.

    In the dev builds though it's better but flash player crashes a lot. The dev build is way faster and can actually render 3d at more than 1 fps.

    The hell do you have ie6 installed, thats horribly insecure now

    And chrome should be a simple download

    Because Windows XP.
    And once again, Chrome would just crash on a single-core Celeron M.

    Firefox works just fine on my rig, it's the laptop that has issues wit MS website.

    I run Chrome on my Celeron M 1.5GHz Thinkpad r50e just fine. 512 meg ram and a 40 gig hdd, I think you'll be just fine.

    Should be fine then. It did crash on a 2 GHz Pentium 4 desktop though.
    I don't want to install chrome anyway. I'd rather use Firefox.

    windows xp is not a valid excuse for IE6, as XP supports up to IE8, just run windows update a few times and it will eventually download and install it (it did for me, and microsofts website is stupid, and no longer lets you download IE8 for xp, so only way to get it is via updating)

    But I don't even use it, why would I want to waste HDD space on IE8 which is still shit anyway? I only have 60 gb.

    yeah? well i have 18 gb, i win.

    also you'd want it because then if something for some reason uses IE for it's browsing capabilities it has the most security possible on XP via IE (*cough* AOL desktop *cough*)

    that and it's icon looks nicer

    EDIT: also def just you, visual studio 2013 download page loads just fine without causing lag or excessive ram usage

    Don't wanna waste HDD space. I'll just install what I use. And it's weird, my laptop lagged like shit while I was in the download page.

    well to be fair, your also using the latest version of firefox, while i'm using 3.5

    - - - Updated - - -

    hmmm, i wonder what the max sata type(or if it even is sata, i guess it could be IDE) this laptop can support, as well as how much ram (may upgrade it because 240 mb of ram isn't a lot, nor is an 18 gb hdd)

    found out why chrome said my P3 laptop doesn't mean requirements: google removed support for cpu's that don't suport SSE2

    so i downloaded an old version and it runs flawlessly (typing it from chrome now in fact)

    man though, this thing is actually pretty fast

    also i may be getting to work on another old pc soon, my parents old one (a compaq presario SR1103WM*)

    (*it comes stock with 256MB of ram, we upgraded it to 1gb pretty soon after we first got it)

    - - - Updated - - -

    darnit, was going to install adblock and clicking add to chrome just brought me to the chrome download page, stupid old version of web browsers

    Sometimes you lay in bed, and you accidentally think about the past. You accidentally think about how happy you used to be. You realize that you are really alone. I love my friends, I really do, but because of what some people have done to me, I don't trust them. I don't trust anyone. I have no one to turn to. My friends seem to be under the illusion that I can turn to them in a time of need. I can't. I'm alone. I'm a solitary mess. I hate it. I hate being a solitary mess. I want to trust people. I don't want to be alone, but I am. I want to go back in time. I want to go back to when I could trust people, go back to when I really was 'happy', if you could call it that. I'd do it all differently, or... Tell my past self to not screw it all up. Just to see where would be today, just to see if I could trust anybody.

    But here, now... No.

    Sometimes I think toilets splash too much when they flush.



    You're overthinking things
