Not really. But I feel that way at the moment. My MacBookPro 15" has been slower than pond water lately. Finally I looked up the problem, and it turns out that I didn't have enough RAM. I had 4gb on a operating system that needed 3gb to run. So I identified what I needed, went on to amazon and got them shipped and replaced them. 10 screws on the bottom, two spring mounted circuit boards later.... and she is acting like the day I bought her. I feel very savvy now. (yes I know, you guys build gaming rigs from scratch...allow me my moment)
Please share times when doing a simple thing made you feel like you were the smartest person alive.

I bought Crysis in a Steam sale, but it didn't work on my PC. After researching, I found out I was running a 32-bit version on a 64-bit computer. I went and found, downloaded, and implemented the 64-bit patch. Now Crysis works! Too bad my processor sucks... #plebiantriumph

I figured out a leaking valve issue after three owners in my field, and a insurance field reviewer couldnt figure it out, on the first assumption. But that was pretty smart regardless.

1 AntwortenI dropped my CPU's idle temperature by 7-8 degrees C by undervolting the processor. Full load temperature used to be pretty damn close to the CPU limit. Now it's way cooler.
