I sort of get what your talking about but… by resources what do you mean…?

I mean a computer has everything it needs Electricity… the only real reason i can think of is overheating but it has a fan to deal with that… so what resources does it gain by “Going asleep”…

---

more speciifically then; memory usage, CPU usage & Disk usage.

if you're using windows, check your task manager by pressing ctrl +alt +delete.

You'll also notice the amount of processes going on in the background of your PC.  every process takes up memory.  and if you don't have enough memory for those processes and services on your PC, it can become very slow because the PC doesn't have enough memory to load new programs.   also, the more processes there are, the more of CPU is needed to run the calculations needed for those processes.  the higher the percentage used in the CPU, the more the CPU will struggle to cope with.

all of these factors, and more are what's known as the computer's “Resources”.  If the PC exhausts these resources, then it WILL struggle to continue.

A restart for a computer gives the PC a chance to start once again with a fresh slate of memory.  since the PC was off prior to being turned on again, the CPU would have cooled down, and the memory cache in the CPU will also be ready to calculate the direction of travelling memory packets again.

So, the PC's resources is somewhat different to what makes the PC turn on.  The PC does indeed need electricity in order to function correctly.  Without electricity, it will not turn on.  But the “Resources” in a PC is what makes it actually 'work'.  Without the Resources available, the PC will turn on, but not work.  it will not boot up your operating system and you would therefor not be able to read this!

Oh so dont use vista with 1 gig of ram?? lol i play i play

I just dont have the money to get more ram. Could i use an external drive to do that windows readyboot thing and would that help shade?

And you leave Lahmy out of this. He was just trying to be nice. All you did was come in here with your non-researched waffle theories and just be a dick to him.

word is the servers were down

you have no idea wat the hell your talking about.

through modern science we (as in humanity) have beeten most diseases, even cancer, yes cancer, however, the government will keep these facts out of the public eye for at least another 15 years, why you ask, isn’t it simple? because people can get such diseases as cancer, aids, alsimers etc quite easily, and the treatments for such ailments would have to be free. but the reason why they don’t tell us is because the governments of each country put a catastrophic price tag on such treatments, this way the government get a lot more money than if the treatments were done through public hospitals.

other people have tried to bring this to the public eye in america, japan, china & other places but they met “difficulties”. the UN want us to think the world is a free place where you can say and do anything you want (within reason). true to a certain extent, but if you threaten the profit of the big men in suits you WILL be “delt with”. argue all you want but i am right, and in less than 50 years, hopefully your minds will be opened.

now this is little off subject isn’t it

dude your an idiot

millions of people are catching cancer DAILY its  because of smoking and what not

Edge i'm having some similar problems. Whenever i pop in W@W or boot penny arcade from the hdd it just stops working. I don't understand what is actually going on with it and i called tech support(i actually got a nice dude to answer) and they told me to pay $150. But thats money i dont have. I live on cereal and candy bars for gods sake. I'm pissed. I bought the ps3 so it wouldn't break down and what happens when i get out of warranty. The damned thing stops playing games. But it'll play some games? Not the ones i just coughed up $60 bucks for?!?! Its ridiculous. I actually started to think about calling tech support and threataning to buy and xbox if they don't fix it for free.

its probably the same thing as Age of Booty. Im guessing developers are doing this to create publicity for their game and hopefully sell a shitty game
