Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: TERA looks good, but with a modern PC you can push more. In-game settings at max give me 90 FPS. Use NVIDIA Inspector to create/edit a TERA profile, add TERA.exe, and apply the shown settings for better visuals. TERA.exe path: \TERA\Client\Binaries\TERA.exe ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Rage looks good by default, but I tweaked configs to use my PC’s resources. Since the UI has few options, changes go in rageConfig.cfg. Steps: set Steam launch options (+com_skipIntroVideo 1, g_fov 96, etc.), then create/edit rageConfig.cfg in steamapps/common/rage/base and paste the provided config. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: After updating to NetBeans 7 final, I get “JVM creation failed” at startup. Cause: on 64-bit systems with >4GB RAM, NetBeans memory detection fails. Fix: edit netbeans.conf in /etc/, in netbeans_default_options add: -J-Xmx512m inside quotes. If it still fails, lower the value. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I discuss using distinct hosts to improve page speed. Browsers limit connections per host; older ones to 4–8. Many page elements cause repeated handshakes and overhead. Example: de.png is 129 bytes, but HTTP exchange is 1,822 bytes. Steps include DNS, TCP handshake, request/response, data transfer, ack. ...

ETag is an HTTP header value (hex), a file’s fingerprint for cache control. On first load, server sends ETag; browser caches it and compares on subsequent requests. If unchanged, use cache; if changed, reload. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I can’t say if UDP would be better for Aion. Aion uses TCP, which is safer but slower because it confirms each packet; UDP is “fire and forget.” Disabling the Nagle algorithm can lower in-game ping up to 100%, but may reduce LAN transfer speeds. Test it yourself; use /ping to check. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Part 2 covers the case. My Antec 900 has defects, so I’m getting a new one: SilverStone RV02. The motherboard is rotated 90°, ports on top under a flap for cleaner cabling. Bottom fans improve airflow, good for multi-GPU. Shipping starts tomorrow. CPU cooler: switching to Scythe Mugen 2. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: GCO and Gamescom got me excited for fall game releases. I grabbed some sample hardware and will upgrade my gaming PC after two years. First: CPU. Bought an Intel Core i7-650 (3.06 GHz, LGA1366) for €350. Hyperthreading (4 cores, 8 threads), QPI instead of FSB. Not an Extreme CPU—price not worth it. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: After hours of volume sync, the new RAID is ready. Performance is clearly better than with 2x Veloci. Access time worse than SSD RAID, but transfer rates are strong, even at 64k; full speed from 128k. Burst read is ~100 MB/s slower than normal, unusual. Windows boot feels faster. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: SATA cable design is problematic. I had frequent sub-second stutters causing brief system freezes every 30–60 seconds. Disks tested fine; suspected cable issue. Replaced with quality clipped SATA II cables, problem solved, clear benchmark improvement. Setup: two WD VelociRaptor 300 in RAID 0 on Areca 1210. SSDs postponed; bought two more VelociRaptors. ...
