"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I recently ordered a computer from cyberpowered.com
i got to choose all of the parts on it.
i ordered a 8600 gt, but when i was installing the drivers for it, the CD said it was a 9600 gt. Whenever i boot up my computer or go to canirunit.com, it says my computer has a 9600 gt, but i think that's just because of the drivers that i installed, and maybe someone packed the wrong CD.

it doesn't look like a 9600 gt cause all the one's i've seen have huge plastic coverings and slickers on it, but this one doesn't. it's just green with a huge copper fan.

so my question is, are there any tests i can run to see if i got a 8600 gt or a 9600 gt?
i can run crysis with close to perfect fps (60) on medium.
on high, it's playable but lags a little bit. (like 40 fps)
and on very high, it's like 20 fps.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

download a program such as dr. hardware to see what hardware u have. go to www.nvidia.com to download the latest nvidia drivers.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It would say 9600GT because BIOS on the video card says it's 9600 GT...


A thing you SHOULD do is power off your computer, remove power cable, and open it. Take out the video card, and take a great big picture of it, and post it here. If you're comfortable with it.

Also look on front and back of the card, it should have some clues written in it, such as serial number, model number, or model name.




Knowing NVIDIA there is a real possibility for bugs inside thier BIOS, and even inside their chip structure. So it could be an 8600GT, and just says 9600GT. On the other hand it could be a mistake, and you could have gotten a 9600GT.

So you're complaining that you got a 2x faster card.


9600GT > 8600GT
