Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted July 3, 2016 Are my personal messages being read? I received a personal message from someone who joined months ago and to whom I've not replied but there seems to be a sudden interest in him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can't read pm's that members send to other members. If the member that pm'd you is who I think it is, he was 'invisible' when he was online.

Deathray 2,940 Posted July 11, 2016 One for the techies. I've got an old pc that I'm using for day to day stuff. Only issue is it's poultry memory. Is there a way I can use a spare external hard drive I've got lying around with much higher memory as internal storage for the computer (i.e to hold steam games and my music and film files that aren't going to fit on the 15GB i've got left after windows and other system and program files?) I'd rather not pull both apart and replace the internal hard drive with the uncased external as I'm not confident about wiring it all up inside the tower.

En Passant 3,741 Posted July 12, 2016 Not meant unkindly but running a game off an external drive connected via a usb with 2GB ram isn't going to be providing Bugatti Veyron levels of performance however you configure it. Virtual ram will run an order of magnitude slower than real ram which is ok if you don't need the speed but it's still a kludge. Up to date gaming needs expensive components, it's just the way of it. Ofc if the game is 5 years old, then a level of performance commensurate with that period should be ok, but bear in mind some games have been known to stretch the limits of even high end stuff at the time of release. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree . Unfortunately. The games 7 years old buts been updated to modern specs. Literally can't run it on the computer full stop.

Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted July 12, 2016 The virtual RAM should stop the game from crashing but that's about all. Totally agree with EP's view on the subject. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
