My First Blog in maybe two years..Wow So Hello New 64digits people, Everyone from my days back in 2007-2008 left. I really miss this place it used to be so lively and such a great community. This used to be like facebook to me(as facebook is now) . With all the sharing and Learning and I loved all the people here. Now its kinda a empty wasteland, you know No one is around but Mods and like one or two users. I'm going to go out on a Limb here and say its because A: Game maker is Very Limited and everyone found this out all at once. or B: Because of all the Server down time. B is why I left.
So anyways I was looking Through all my old Posts and I really Can't believe how Dumb I was with computers back then. It was only 3 years? I have no clue what I was thinking. I said I was really good with computers but yet I didn't know what the word savvy meant or How much Ram was in my computer (Which is Wierd because I know for a fact I knew what I had in it @ 2007. It was 3gb at the time I upgraded it the same year I had bought it @ 2005 ) So I just wanted to Post this Blog To Redeem myself.. I have been Working on Computers for 6 years now to this Date and I attend a Trade School where I work on Computers, Electronics and Robotics. I am Studying for my MECP (Mobile Electronics Certified Professional) Certification (redundancy lol) It has to do with Installing Systems In Cars and Trucks along those lines. We Haven't Started the Computer Portion yet (this is where the redemption starts) But I have been working by myself these past years Building Computers, Taking them apart, Upgrading old computers to their very tip top maximum, Reading Hardware Stuff online, Benchmarks, collecting data in my mind Ect. I know just about everything their is to know about Computer Hardware and all my friends turn to me about Learning about New or Old equipment. In my Trade The Teacher rely's on me to help students along with their projects and Compete in School wide or even County wide Competitions A lot can happen in 6 years, A lot can even happen In 2 years. I try to do the best I can, To be the best I can be at what I do(more redundancy) Thanks for reading this :) Long Live 64 Digits! P.S. If you don't Believe me about know a lot about computer hardware, Shoot me a line I promise I won't google it and I'll answer you question or whatever to the best of my ability.
Computer hardware is extremely simple. Everything is designed to fit like lego pieces and then it's just a matter of knowing the advantages of X part vs Y part.
On the other hand, if you were doing electronics engineering or computer science, that's where the fun is.Currently I'm stuck with 2 Gb DDR2 RAM because of some screw up I did a year ago, but as soon as I get the cash (and the prices go down a bit) I'll upgrade to 4 Gb DDR3 and while at it get a Core i5.oh don't worry I was just seeing how far you go in terms of that type of thing but anyway the answer is logic gates. But yeah I only know that because I was trying to see if it was possible to recreate a cpu of my own and then I gave up after realizing how impossible it would be to make one comparable to the ones they sell XD .
oh and the NAND gate is only one of the logic gates, cpus use other types as well.also my specs :3 I built this one by my self as my first computer that I designed :D I was so proud when it actually worked XDwindows 7 64 bitpsu 650gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5antec 900i7 920 @ 2.8GHzddr3 6GB (3x2GB)300GB 10k rpm velociraptor (i'm silly for getting this but it's still fast :P going to get a 640GB regular drive XD)LG 24 inch LCD screennvidia 9600GT 512MBso yeah the only thing I don't like about it is the harddrive I mean it's fast but I need to get a nother regular speed drive with more space.then there is the gfx card which I need to get a new one but I'm waiting until the summer for that.and then I'm waiting for SDDs to stop being so horrible so I can use their speed to boot up my computer in 1 second. But that is going to take a while.I have an ATI 4200. Sure, it can play games, and crysis on lowest settings, but obviously, that's not enough.
-Luisalmost everything i learned about gm came from 64d members back when it was flourishing.
ah Thanks for Commenting everybody, And yeah. I acctually seen someones self made CPU made with IC Chips and it was easily 10 times the size of a intel or amd proc
lol
what eagly said.
