How to Tweak your Webserver to Survive a Slashdotting
slashdot effect!!!!! What I really need is a guide that tells me were i can find a ATI 9700 pro for lke $100. Now that would really be worth reading, :)
Just install aimbots, speedbots, and wallhacks. You will outperform anyone with a faster pc, faster connection, better video card...
Note : Due to something respected Doctors and Scientists are calling "The Slashdot Effect" I have not read the article.
Honestly. Do I get my membership to "Club Nerd" revoked because I'm not interested in water cooling my PC, airbrushing the case, or fitting ass-loads of neons?
When I do game (which is a little rare now-a-days) I would rather just have decent hardware, and not have to worry about over-clocking, heat sinking, over-binging on jolt, and the associated woman repelling habits.
Is there something wrong with me?...
Delete your pagefile. Have every possible service running.
Now, run your game while doing a continuous virus scan.
I can guarantee that your "fast" system will run much slower then an optimized "slower" system
On the plus side, it is a great way to increase your frustration level.

How many frames/sec do you get in XBill with that sort of setup?
...A less than optimal system still plays WC3 fine on good hardware. Trying to squeeze another 5% smoothness out during 5% of the gameplay isn't awe inspring...
WC3? Well, considering the Minimum specs on the box when it came out in '95 were 486 DX/50 and 8 megs of ram, then yes, I think Wing Commander 3 will play fine on any machine made in the last 3 or 4 years without tweaking. Might have to scare up a copy of DOS, though.
I think the line is drawn at the twelve button mark. If you have more than 12 buttons on your mouse and joystick combined, it's a gaming console.
Awesome reply!
Are you sure you are not a (L)user I support?
Don't worry about Mr. Tweak, he's some teenage kid in Australia. Anyone who used to read the [H]ardOCP (I stopped several years ago) will remember him as the kid that threatened to sue Kyle for not linking to his crappy website. Of course, he didn't just threaten Kyle directly--he sent his complaints to a whole bunch of hardware site webmasters. He's just another one of those dime-a-dozen specials.
Yes, having a GF is a wonderful way of optimizing Pr0N, but it's a LOT like optimizing your system.
In fact, one of the best ways to optimize your system(GF) is to marry her. Performance increases dramatically and the cost drops significantly.
The problem though is that once you have a wife, the negative effects of optimization start happening, like kids.
Then they scream that their saggy (you know whats) are all your fault, she's tired all the time, you get interrupted by crying/fighting children, etc.
The solution then is to get a new GF (And dump the old). This costs money.
Repeat this cycle enough times and soon you'll be back where you started from :-(
