New PC For X-mas.

[Coldplay]

My parents have bought me a custom build, with AMD Quad core, 4GB ram ect ect.

When I get it, any programs you suggest installing? (Windows XP)

[Flisker]

Well if it's a gaming rig, install STEAM and get games xD.

[Coldplay]

Don't play any Steam games, Just want some stuff which is useful, I'll obviously be installing Zone Alarm, and trying to get a licensed version of AVG.

[Flisker]

So I guess its not a gaming rig...

[Jord]

msn, since you play rs the shockwave for that and mozilla.

[N!ck]

Codecs for playing different formats of media. VLC media player maybe?
Moxilla Firefox
Office software e.g. Microsoft Office

[Flisker]

Im just shocked about why you need a quad core and 4GB RAM if your not gonna play games :P

iTunes
skype (if you need it)

[Coldplay]

Naturally, Is there anything useful that I can add to what I use. And no it's not a gaming rig, I just wanted a fast PC, Because this one is useless.

Currently I have;

FF
Live messenger
Zone Alarm
AVG
Spybot
Adaware
CCleaner
Bit Torrent
Ms Office 07
PS CS3

If you have a large screen to go with it then a few hundred GB of porn won't hurt ;).

[Coldplay]

Only got a 250GB HD =[

[DaveTaylor]

Get VMware and try Windows 7 or linux?

Install rapidshare manager, buy a rapidshare premium account then get downloading of warez bb :)

[Stephen!]

JDownloader ftw.

Rapidshare manager sucks.

[Coldplay]

Don't want to get a RS account, don't really use it, dont like storing porn on the HD - Prefer to use the interwebs.

Don't settle for inferior quality!

[Coldplay]

I rarely use porn anyway as a rule, I have a girlfreind, who provides realtime real life porns.

Dreaming buddy, you have 4chan to help you.

And as for the folding thing, I will do!

It's probably worth telling you that FAH will use all your spare CPU power, so what apps you have running with FAH could run a little slower. But I think there's some way to limit FAH so it only uses 50% of your CPU, but yeah, it's still a good thing to do.

No, it only uses redundant CPU cycles. If a backgrpund app needs some CPU time then FAH will back off until it's done.

Yeah, that's what I meant to say, FAH will use any CPU that isn't being used by any other applications. Sorry about that one :)
