My Pc Is 2 Slow

[Storm]

Avi or MPEGs my comp plays smoothly (if im not running to much other stuff), but i cant watch DivX's

so is there ne way 2 decode (part) of the movie beforehand so i can watch the movie at a speed of faster than 1/2 fps???

Sorry, and dont feel too bad I still have to pay this baby off. The monthly credit card bill is kickin my ass.

best thing to do in your case is to optimize your ram and close out as many programs as possible right before you watch the movie..........I guess

What specs does your comp have?

Why did you get Xeons with 512k L2 cache? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the Xeon cache system?

If your cache is that fast, then having 512k must mean that its stalling on practically every cycle after a branch prediction failure. That can be almost a 30% drop in speed on systems like windows since context switches and other branches can't be predicted. With such a long pipeline and so many decoders, a 512k cache could hardly feed it all the time, could it?

I wanted the top of the line since I was charging it and didnt have to pay all at one time. And I didnt know much about the xeons when I bought the pc but the issues you are refering to are not a problem if those issues even exist at all, sounds like your just trying to sound intelligent

Btw, It runs Redhat Linux Advanced Server not a windows o.s. so context switches and other branches or whatever the hell you were talking about isnt a problem. I run windows xp on my other box and solaris 9 on my laptop so that pc is not used as a desktop.

keep living by your old folks :&#39;( And try talking into them that they also must pay for the pc
