Take away my Onion status. I am not worthy. - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Scfdglkn** · 12-01-2010, 07:25 AM

For months I've been bitching to everyone that my system feels sluggish. I even went so far as to blame Windows 7 and declare that Vista is faster.

Today, by accident, I launched CPUID. Once opened, I got curious and poked around. Under the 'Memory' tab, I noticed that my memory speed was listed as 105 Mhz. How odd. I thought I had better check this in the BIOS. Reboot. Sure enough, my DDR400 has been in DDR200 mode for the past several months.

This is a sad day to pretend to be an Onion. On the plus side, my system feels pleasantly snappy again! [thumbup]

We for give you. Now overclock that DDR2 to 1000mhz. >.< go do eet!!!

**SM9WI8oI** · 12-01-2010, 07:41 AM

FSB * Multi = CPU speed.

Unless the multiplier was doubled to give the same effective CPU speed.

**leflyCode** · 12-01-2010, 07:50 AM

Changed my mind.

You had a problem that was easy to fix, but you chose to ignore it instead. You accidentally launched a program, one that's not meant for average users to be launched at all even. Then instead of closing it like a good newbie, you decided to 'poke around', despite the sensitive data there. Last but not least, you thought Vista was faster than Windows 7.

GameTrailers ain't good enough. I say you get to spend the rest of your days at Bungle's Home damnit! [cursing]

Ouch! You're strict.

**leflyCode** · 12-01-2010, 07:51 AM

Demote you from an Onion? No. But maybe take away your blue text for a while.

You can take my blue text when you pry this keyboard out of my cold, dead, blue hand!

Hard to imagine considering the multiplier is locked.

**Mister.levitra** · 12-01-2010, 07:55 AM

why cant you delete stuff?

Because God hates you.

Damn, maybe I'm thinking of the memory divider? Guess I'm not worthy now...

**Ebjjrxrd** · 12-01-2010, 08:06 AM

general forum response: nooooooooooooooooooooooob

Real world response: good catch

Its not suprising how the simplest resolution can evade us for so long, i see it everyday.

**CIAFreeAgent** · 12-01-2010, 08:10 AM

Because God hates you.

its probably more a limitation of the forum software but ok...

**NowFloabDow** · 12-01-2010, 08:17 AM

Hey don't worry waters. I've made blunders like that too. It's the resolution though that makes you an Onion!

Take my issue for example: Only just fixed it last night. Had most of my computer's SATA-II drives running in IDE mode! Been running that system for 2 years, and only switched them over to AHCI last night! Pain in the ass too considering I am dual booting Vista and XP and had to do some registry tweaking to get the drives to show up properly.

I think we should have a saying here: It's not the idiot you were, but the idiot you are that makes you a true onion!

**Mister.levitra** · 12-01-2010, 08:17 AM

No, I doubt it. There are 2 possible reasons:

1. God hates you.
2. You touch yourself at night.

Those are the universal answers to all problems. Usually mine stem from a combination of the two, with #2 causing #1.

**BCVB9SOc** · 12-01-2010, 08:20 AM

Can I take your title then

**indianstory** · 12-01-2010, 08:57 AM

Running RAM at or below stock speed is reason enough to loose your onion status..

Still at least you are back up and running and full speed.[thumbup]

That brings up a good point...

waters,

What did you set your memory frequency to once you found out?

This will determine your Onion status for sure.

If his response is anything but 11, I will be deeply saddened.

**sallythetolly** · 12-01-2010, 09:22 AM

You noticed a problem most people wouldn't have a clue of, then used a program most people have never heard of, looked up figures most people wouldn't understand, realised the error where most would be dumbstruck, then fixed it in a way most people would consider pure magic.

You sir, are an Onion damnit!

That doesn't make him qualified as an onion, that makes him qualified for best buy.
