It's not as user friendly as Windows or OSX.
Is using a package manager more unfriendly than having to search for applications to perform something online?
Just go to synaptic package manager, search for something, and more likely than not there is an app there that will do that job for you.
Give me a reason Linux is less user friendly than OSX or Windows.
Or getting a Synaptics touchpad to work properly.
Still a 100% valid point.Sydney wrote:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Googling some terminal commands is much easier than trying to navigate some shitty GUI IMO.
It depends what you are familiar with and use a lot.

So i'm thinking of getting a 4870 to replace my 8800GT. Is it worth it?
Current one is in my sig and the 4870 is this

In everyone elses, downloading X.exe and pressing Next five times is easier.

Itll give you a decent amount of improvment what res do you play games at and if you can strecth your budget 47 go for the 4890 it is way beter at overclocking and will give a 280gtx a run for its money.Shadow893 wrote:

i don't really wanna spend anymore either tbh
Chatter is that a 4890x2 wouldn't be much an improvement over the 4870x2.dill13 wrote:

Shadow893 the 4870 is a good choice then id go for it.

It runs hotter than HD4870x2 because of higher vcore at stock = louder fan. Same what happened with HD4890; high rpm fan > cooler but louddill13 wrote:

10% more performance, albeit with more OC headroom. no thanks, 4870 > 4890 imo.

Had some spare cash, so my GTX260's are getting a new home
i7 920, Asus P6T, 3x2GB DDR3-1600, Alpenföhn Brocken (~ about as good as the Noctua or TRUE), couple fans, some case, an 8 port switch and resistance 2 for my PS3.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
