Congrats! Great level! your pic is fine, btw.

[Graphics Card and Overheating]

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure if I said that I'd prefer getting all of this for my desktop or not, as my laptop cannot get anything to help it. My desktop is somewhat old, probably from 2001-2005, I don't remember. Either way, I need a graphics card that will make it run anywhere from 30-50 fps normally. I play RS on my laptop with 10-25 fps using HD, which is kind of sad, as everyone else does this with 30-50.. I am sure my desktop can handle a new graphics card and what not. But I need something from $50-$130 that will get me 30-50 fps. I'm not sure which on will do this, but I also need to make sure I have the money to afford it all. The desktop has 512mb of RAM, and if I get a card that say 1gb Ram or whatever, does that add 1gb? I'm not real sure why it says that. >.>

 

the 1GB of ram is dedicated to graphics, nothing else can use it. I personally have this card in my computer, which I built a couple months ago, and for $60 it can run just about any game you can imagine. Runescape would be a breeze for this card. If you are willing to spend so much on just a graphics card, have you considered just buying/building a computer? you would get a lot better performance.

[Cool tech projects?]

by tech, do you mean software or hardware? here are a few from both:

if there is an * after my comment, i've done it!

Software:

Personally, I'd look at these:

Hardware:

http://lifehacker.com/#!5151369/the-first+timers-guide-to-building-a-computer-from-scratch <<-- this might be a bit outside what you want to do or your budget, but it's an awesome project. I just built my first computer a couple months ago and i'm hooked!*

Could you change this:

I changed my display name

[Need a name change...]

You are very welcome!

 

Happy to help

[Need a name change...]

How about this?

 

 

I've never done pixel art in my life, so I have NO IDEA how I did this, It looks pretty good to me. At first I wondered why the name looked so sharp after I changed it, and then I realized they used a peach color instead of white for the words. easy fix.

 

EDIT: I should of read it better. sorry, I'll move it to a corner or something.

 

How about one of these:

[Fill me in on recent stuff?]

and jagex has a vote up to bring back the wilderness and free trade:

 

http://www.runescape.com/wilderness

 

 

at the time of writing this, this many people have voted to bring it back:

[Sig Request!]

Like this?

 

[Spirit Tree Planting]

It's in specials in the tip.it farming guide:

http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=farming_guide.htm#special

 

You might want to report that it's not in the items database, it should be added. They have the seedlings. just not the tree

[I has a hardrive]

go here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php and follow the directions to make a gparted usb or cd. then put the 80GB harddrive into your computer and, just in case, remove the data cable for your current drive. boot into the gparted disk and wipe the disk (it should be either an sda# or hda# drive, and the only one in your computer now besides the usb or cd. look at the sizes, it'll tell alot.) then either format it to NTFS or plug in your other harddrive and boot into vista and use it's disk management (right clock on Computer in the start menu and click manage) to format it to NTFS.

 

Hope it helps!

[Best Screen Capture Thing]

I have alwasy found camstudio good on windows, but I now use ubuntu so I couldn't tell you about more recent versions

[eReaders & eBooks]

I have a ereader app on my ipod touch and it is nice when i need something to read, and forgot my book, but I still prefer a good old-fashioned book if I can have it.

[Tv as monitor]

I got a 22" LED tv for $100, I'm using it as a monitor right now, but I was wondering if there is anything I should worry about. For $100, I figure I couldn't go wrong, and I've been looking at LED monitors and they all seem to be $130 and up. Was it a good buy. It was an upgrade from a 15" dell that was ancient (like10-15 years old), so the really wide screen is getting to me a little, but I figure this will get better with time.

 

Also, I have noticed GIMP and other programs actually "fit" on the screen without overlapping, WOOT!

 

NOTE: I'm currently running it in 1360*768 resolution because intel (who should stick to making processors) made my graphics card and they are so [developmentally delayed] that they make crappy graphics cards and don't make drivers for linux, so I'm stuck with it till I get my stuff for a build at christmas, and I can give my family back their 15" monitor, as they only surf the web.

[Bursting xp Rates]

62,000 xp doing no damge and 200-240 crimson charms per hour.

 

Sorry Quyneax, I should of thought of that, my bad. 200,000 xp is very reasonable with damage counted.

[The Crew Wants You!]

how long will it take for them to be reviewed after the 20th? (how long till you announce who get the positions)

 

It really depends. You'll know if you got selected hopefully within a week after they close.

 

 

that was a fast reply! thanks for your answer! so I have around 15 days to hope! I really want to join the crew!

[Dell inspirion mini 1018]

It can't play cd's when you buy it but you can buy an external drive likethis one and use it when you need to use a cd. You could also use another computer and copy the cd to a usb to run on it.

[Starting Stealing Creation?]

i personally go strait to the clay, as normally by the time I get and make the c1 tool, I could already have a piece to make a better tool.

[Heating up a CPU]

You really shouldn't, buy some gloves or a small heater instead as you have a good chance of burning up your computer ocmponents, but if your set on it video encoding is pretty cpu intensive and I also noticed that runescape actually brings my cpu temp up a good amount too.

[The Crew Wants You!]

I'm going to apply right now! I hope my having the basics of html, php, mysql query, and javascript will help my application. Good luck to everyone who applies!

[Muted]

Your not muted for a year, you just have a black mark for a year.

He's the guy your chasing in the WANTED! quest i believe. Look here on tip.it and here on the RS wikia for more information.

 

EDIT: you edited it with the wikipedia page as I pas posting and I didn't see it, good job finding it by yourself btw

[hs err pid log files]

try reinstalling java or restarting your computer. Also, you can try deleting your .conf files from jagex.
