Pointless things to do with your computer

[HomerJ]

If you are on linux (maybe other unix-like OSes):

cat /path/to/a/file > /dev/dsp

Anyway, what's another pointless thing? Fitting your comp with 96GB of RAM (apparently there are motherboards capable of handling that much).

Well, theres my next school project, you serious? Im going to try that as soon as I get a job and have spare cash. How many CPUs can you fit in a computer? I guess windows can support like up to 30 or 31 but how many motherboards can run it?

 

[animerth]

windows has a 32 processer limit
curently the recored is 8 CPU's

32-bit systems can only adress RAM up to about 4 GB

64-bit is guessed to adress 16 exabytes of RAM

The most i have seen is 8 CPU on a N-force motherboared

Deleting every registry key you have - DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS EXCEPT INSIDE OF A VIRTUAL MACHINE! (you won't have Windows anymore otherwise)

Pinging your router

If you're using Linux, you can max out the network capacity between your computer and router:
can't remember the actual command i used... I will post later on when I look at it.
