    And the drive is dead.
    Head spins, but BIOS doesn't recognize it.
    Time to get those neodyum magnets out of it seems.

    iGPUs are literally perfect for running a triple monitor setup when you don't have any displayport ports on your monitor. I run my uTorrent/Steam/System Information monitor with mine. It's perfect. Just don't use that monitor for gaming, obviously.

    I'm actually strongly considering swapping my second monitor over to the iGPU so I'm not wasting resources using my 7850 to run Skype.

    Afaik there won't be any performance difference running more than one monitor as long as you only game on only one monitor.. Running Skype or pretty much anything else should have no difference on GPU performance

    I've tested it with the monitor activated and deactivated. The performance difference was slight, by there. There were certain instances in games, even such as Beam, where it'll chug ever so slightly when there's a lot of particles happening, that's not present with the second monitor.

    It's just a bit of an annoyance. I'll probably become to lazy to do it anyway.

    A thing came in the mail. A weird keychain thingy we had to get on Amazon for the free shipping, and it came from Ding Dong Feng, Wanhonglu #5, Beijing, China. Cool, and picked up shifter bushings.

    Don't buy a Saturn. Mom left window open in the rain, and seat switch shorted out, caught on fire, then went out. Scared.

    ogg requires a bit more processing power than mp3 to play. Important for low power devices. Mp3 has metadata and is widely accepted by basically anything. ogg does not have metadata (album, artist etc) which means it isnt as good for organization. People know what an mp3 file is.

    I am doing a test. Please can everyone give it a go so there are plenty of results. Thanks

    Yeah, I hate that too.

    It's like asking someone too fix something for you, and then saying "It doesn't work. Please fix."
    And, just like with BeamNG, they then have to go through lots and lots of steps to even know what the problem is.

    Hey you!
    Yes you!

    How does one get ahold of you?
    you have every way to contact you blocked and you always ignore forum posts where I ask.
    I want to talk.

    One could just bug him to death until he answers your question.
    Chances are, that if you do that you won't get a good answer.
    You could also try to maybe get him to respond to you on YouTube.

    I ordered something on the Chinese Dealextreme about 5 months ago. It arrived today.

    Now if only the things I ordered from them in 2012 would arrive..

    Master boot record or bootloader. One or the other. Don't fiddle with it.
