Just when you think you've seen everything, you get THIS in your channel. The kind of newbie that makes you wish they required a license for computer usage. I present you: hummiex in cccp. - ArchMage ZeratuL Thanks for Shin for the logs. [22:04] * hummiex (hummiex@c-24-63-149-226.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #cccp [22:06] um...could someone tell me why when i download the cccp, it tells me dat its only for 2000? and i hab a 2000 computer but it still doesn't work? [22:08] * hummiex (hummiex@c-24-63-149-226.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) Quit (QUIT: ) [22:08] .... [22:09] windows me? [22:09] maybe he bought his computer in 2000 ;) [22:09] says 2000 on the front? [22:10] gateway 2000! [22:10] Athlon 2000+ [22:10] "dude, my computer is a XP and a 2000 and it says it can't install!!" [22:10] waiting few minutes before answering is a good idea though, if the problem goes away itself... [22:13] * hummiex (hummiex@c-24-63-149-226.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #cccp [22:14] wah do i do when the cccp program doesn't regronize my computer as 2000 when it is? [22:14] your "computer" is 2000? [22:15] Do you mean, you have Windows 2000 as the operational system? [22:15] yes [22:15] are you sure? :P [22:15] and you're not running CCCP in compatibility mode, are you? [22:15] yes, ME is 2000 rights? [22:15] wow [22:15] wrong [22:15] Myr wins [22:15] HAHAHAHA [22:15] err... [22:16] so whats ME then? [22:16] shit [22:16] while ME was released after Windows 2000, it's based on the Win3.1/95/98 technology, which is older than NT (New Technology) [22:17] and dumb [22:17] uh...so in other words i cant run the cccp program rights? [22:17] you sir are in need of an upgrade [22:17] i would recommend 'windows XP professional' [22:17] with that, most likely a new processor, new ram and new motherboard [22:18] i'd go with 2000, since XP would probably run too slow [22:18] ender 2nd line [22:18] :P [22:18] sorrie if im not all upgraded as all of you here but mayb im not as rich? [22:18] I think XP can run as fast as 2k if you disable the themes service [22:18] and im not a sir, thank you [22:18] agreed [22:18] hummiex, what is your processor/ram? [22:18] money is not the issue [22:18] most people here are dirt poor too [22:19] yah XP is as fast if not faster [22:19] want to borrow me some so i can upgrade to be all high-tech as u? [22:19] * Caster would code html for foox [22:19] food [22:19] then 2K in pretty much all situations [22:19] and i dont no what my processor or ram is [22:19] if you kill themes and make it like Windows 2000 [22:19] well, I wouldn't say "faster"... [22:19] ArchMageZeratuL: yes faster [22:19] faster bootup. better overall memory management [22:20] the pt here being that i cant install the cccp rights? [22:20] and XP is a requirement for HT enabled P4s [22:20] hummiex: if you tell me what you have [22:21] http://www.cpuid.org/download/cpu-z-129.zip [22:21] download this [22:21] extract it [22:21] and run it [22:21] then tell me what it says [22:21] or you can go to Control Panel->System and read the first tab :P [22:22] or that [22:22] um...okay [22:22] it will tell you how much ram [22:22] and what cpu [22:22] you have [22:22] ArchMageZeratuL: sure on that for winME? [22:22] Caster: I seem to remember win98 having it there [22:23] aha [22:23] okay..um yah im dumb but where does it tell me how much cpu i have? [22:25] it gives processor info [22:25] * Panda- (~I@toronto-HSE-ppp4281572.sympatico.ca) has joined #cccp [22:25] stepping and stuff [22:26] u mean the name of the processor is the cpu? [22:27] .. [22:27] what does it say under "Computer" in the "General" tab? [22:28] there is no *computer* under the general tab [22:28] yea, I guess 9x is different, then :P [22:29] i jux hab 127 mb for ram [22:29] it should say something like "AMD Athlon XP 2200+" or "Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz" [22:29] ... [22:29] give me a example of wah cpu is thens? [22:29] I just did. Two examples. [22:29] intel pentium 3 EB? [22:30] EB? [22:30] yah [22:30] what's the clock? Doesn't it say 500 MHz or anything like that? [22:31] core speed? its 870.3 mhz? [22:31] you got that from cpu-z [22:31] ? [22:31] yah [22:31] well [22:31] so you have a p3 866 [22:31] with 128MB of ram [22:31] P3 870 is plenty for XP, but 128 MB RAM.... [22:32] Get Windows 2000 [22:32] hummiex: get more ram, 512MB is quite ok [22:32] and then upgrade to XP Pro [22:32] um...question? [22:32] +256 would already be enough, and dirt cheap [22:32] yah [22:33] 128+256 [22:33] would be quite alright [22:33] wahs ram? [22:33] memory [22:33] I had XP Pro on a P3 450 MB with 192 MB RAM [22:33] it's how much memory you have on your computer [22:33] and u have to go to some computer store like best buy or sumthing to upgrade rights? [22:33] the more memory you have, the better it can handle the OS and applications [22:33] hummiex: yah but I would ask a service tech [22:34] to do the upgrade for you [22:34] u mean go look it up in a book and call the person? [22:34] sorries, ima not use to computer stuff ^^;; [22:34] ... [22:34] how old are you? [22:34] best buy should have computer upgrades [22:34] and technicians [22:34] that will do it [22:34] for you [22:35] i don't have to bring my computer there rights? just call them up and set up a appointment? [22:35] and my age...remains hidden =] [22:35] you would need to bring your computer there [22:36] Well, maybe you can get a technician to go to your home... [22:36] and maybe install windows 2000 for you while you're at it [22:36] do you no how much it costs to upgrade? [22:36] er [22:36] XP... if you're updating RAM, install XP [22:37] actually [22:37] don't you have any friend who's good with computers? [22:37] installing RAM is trivial [22:37] my cousin is but hes to busy to help out most of the time [22:38] so you're saying if i upgrade in ram then basicalli ima upgrading also to xp or whatever? or is that different?
