Chuckie Chuck: 60 is expected, and that's actually double regular TV
jpatcough: Do you know what that means
Chuckie Chuck: Frames Per Second
Chuckie Chuck: Graphics Speed
jpatcough: cause I jump from 60 to 7 to 1!!! to 60????
Chuckie Chuck: Television is 30
jpatcough: oh, I thought it was some kind of processing speed
Chuckie Chuck: Sounds like you have something interupting your CPU if it's dropping like that
jpatcough: my java CPU will peak up when that gets low
jpatcough: ?
Chuckie Chuck: Should be constant
jpatcough: I just unitnstalled a whole bunch of old software to help memory
jpatcough: It helped a lot, but not as good as I need to get it
Chuckie Chuck: What's still running?
jpatcough: Nothing app wise
jpatcough: I am going bare bones
Chuckie Chuck: TSR wise?
Round 2 of 12
jpatcough: TSR?????
Chuckie Chuck: Terminate Stay Resident (The stuff that is in the right bottom corner of the taskbar
jpatcough: Thx for the advice, I'll check that out
Chuckie Chuck: Sounds like an overactive virus scanner, or a sidebar app, something that needs a lot of CPU time

Chuckie Chuck: My reccomendation is change the real time scan settings so it only scans major executables, if it's scanning every file the computer accesses it will really bog you down.
Chuckie Chuck: McAfee is the worst on CPU time, but also the best out there for catching stuff before it catches you.
jpatcough: Man, you know your computers
Chuckie Chuck: I prefer Norton for being a little more CPU friendly, and some of the other ones like AVG and PCTools are good too.
jpatcough: ok, I'll try to change the settings between rounds
jpatcough: sorry to bog y'all down
Chuckie Chuck: I use McAfee on my system because it's free with my DSL service
Round 3 of 12
Chuckie Chuck: I have a faster notebook PC though and it doesn't bog me to bad, Dual Core 1.6Ghz with 2 Gigs of Ram

Round 12 of 12
jpatcough: Good Game, thx for putting up with my slow computer, and for the advice
Chuckie Chuck: Secrets, by Round 12, Everything should be Crystite, even if it doesn't assay for any, #2, if you have any energy plots you're gonna change you need to add extra energy to your needs beyond what the computer tells you, because it estimates for what you currently have developed.
Chuckie Chuck: Assaying after round 5 is a waste of time
jpatcough: Thanks, and what is up with the computer always holding on to everything in the last round?
Chuckie Chuck: There is no point in selling, final round everything is worth what it is worth, all that happens if you sell is that it changes from assets to cash
jpatcough: ok, so doesn't help, doesn't hurt
Chuckie Chuck: there is debate on whether the exchange is equal, I haven't done the math to find out.
Chuckie Chuck: Supposedly some think it's worth more if you hold it
jpatcough: I noticed when I sell everything off, I seem to drop down relatively to the comps in score
jpatcough: Looks like I will get thru my first tourney game
jpatcough: maybe I will be higher than 1883rd! :P
Chuckie Chuck: Thought is, that when you hold it, it's worth what the store would sell it for, if you sale it, the exchange is what the store would buy it for
jpatcough: That makes a lot of sence
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
Chuckie Chuck: You completed the game, you will automatically go up in placement, once you are above 300th place you pretty much have to win a game to increase in rank.
jpatcough: I'll catch you down the road, hopefully I'll be better by then
Chuckie Chuck: Smithore is the prize manipulation ore from round 1-8
jpatcough: Thx, at least we got above 80k to get you first founder, and I didn't get beat by a computer
jpatcough: peace out
Chuckie Chuck: Can be forced to $230 a unit if you understand it
Chuckie Chuck: anyways, you'll catch on, doing relatively good so far
Chuckie Chuck: cya
jpatcough: Ahhh, as long as you don't have comps selling or newbs selling
jpatcough: Thanks buddy
jpatcough left the game
