Wow, this is just bad ass! F'ing amazing! Seriously, you have to full screen this and crank up the sound! (I posted the video but you should click in the HD tab and watch on their site)

ACDC Vs Iron Man 2 - Architectural Projection Mapping on Rochester Castle​
On the site of a thousand years of violent history, ACDC were pitted against Iron Man in a ground breaking architectural projection mapping project. The front facade of the Great Keep at Rochester Castle, was brought to life using the latest in 3D animation techniques. This onslaught of the senses, saw the castle confront it's ultimate challenge. Warping, morphing, spewing and collapsing before the audiences eyes. Let there be rock!

Someone help my dumb ass. I have a 6 year old laptop mac (book?) and high speed wireless internet and I'm getting my ass kicked by this video (among others). Super herky jerky, lots of pauses, scattered sound. I've reset safari a million times. Maybe I just have too much shit on my hard drive? I don't know. I'm not a computer guy. But I want to see this appropriately! Sounds awesome!

I think my computer is just old as fuck.

LOL! I don't know Macs at all but oddly enough I just read this today. Sounds like it would help and solve the problems you are talking about. Let me know how it goes,

^ The Professional Fan's computer FTL.
 
Yeah, really man. Your computer just had the bare minimums. My friend's computer has the issues and has twice the amount of RAM and cpu speed.
 
LMAO! No wonder. Hilarious. Hey, it's a hand me down. I guess I should upgrade, huh? Haha...

FTL is super funny.

Yeah, you should really look at increasing your ram. If you don't have the manual on your laptop you can find the required info on the interwebs as to how much and want kind of ram you need but considering the age of your laptop you should be able to max out it with ram for $20. You should be able to find it used on craigslist.

Tripling the memory on that (I think it has 1.5GB max) is only going to make a small difference.

A mid-range laptop from late 2005 is not worth upgrading, IMO. You should be able to cop a very ordinary modern laptop for $400 if you shop around.

Again I don't know shit about Macs but going from 512k to 1.5gb's of ram in a PC is going to make a noticeable difference. Even doubling it to a gig of ram would make a noticeable difference in a PC. So if he was two slots for ram in his laptop and if it has only one slot filled he should be able to find 1 gig of used ram for $20. What's his Mac take, Laptop DDR or DDR2? I just gave away two 1gig sticks of DDR2 ram from when I upgraded my laptop to 2 2gig chips of laptop DDR2 ram. I only paid $30 total for those new at Fry's (after $20 per stick mail in rebate, lol).

Actually, I'm quite happy that my problem is that it's an old, slow laptop. I always think I can make it go faster. Now that I know I can't I'll spring for something new. Probably not a Mac, even though I've fallen in love with their operating system. Apple is way overpriced for what I want. I want I-Tunes and to be able to browse You Tube-type videos with ease. That's literally it.

No problem!

But I still think you could do a mini upgrade and notice a small improvement. Also did you try that other internet browser? I take it that the reason that you first posted on this thread was because you couldn't see the video?

PC2700SODIMM, probably (DDR 333MHz). Best buy or whoever will do the install for him will let him know. You can get 1GB for about $50 but I'm not too familiar with upgrading Macs... I think the installed memory might be soldered to the board... I'm not sure what the max capacity is for (each?) additional memory slot.
 
Honeslty, DDR is extremely old school. I have 6 gigs of DDR3 in my rig which is more than enough. Do laptops offer DDR2? I don't know much about them, to be honest.

My desktop system has 8gigs of DDR3 and my laptop has 4gigs of DDR2.

I run Vista x64 on both systems and have had no problems. I tried to get the student version of Windows 7 but Microsoft said Denny Crane's SportsTwo University isn't an accredited institution.

Is Forum Sciences really a degree? I thought 36% interest was a little high for a student loan but Denny said without the degree I could never be paid staff here.
 
I would love to show you some shit to get, Professional Fan, but I don't know anything about laptop hardware.

Did you miss the part where I said I have a desktop puter also?

My buddy works for these guys, I get some aftermarket goodies from here time to time - http://nwca.com/
