Precisely how is it a contradiction? A) I don't realistically expect the competition to be triple the speed of the X4 965. At the time this was Sandy Bridge Core i5/i7 processors. B) If someone tries to sell me a product that costs triple the price, I expect an approximately equal increase...

As things appear right now I may end up transitioning as well. It all depends on future releases from AMD and how compatible they are with my motherboard. I will agree the FX series is disappointing but only because it is too expensive for my tastes given that it really isn't that much more...

Sounds about right for the 1.4.7 pack. The beta 1.5.2 pack on the other hand has produced some really nice performance boosts for me. I think I typically sit around 90 with it and have seen as high as 120. Just as additional system info, I'm on a GeForce GTX 460 w/ 1GB. I don't typically...

So a Core i5, let alone an i7, is now considered to be bare minimum? I paid $80 for an AMD Phenom II X4 965. Research prior to purchasing it showed it performed at least on par with a high-end Sandy Core i5 and only slightly slower than a low-end Sandy Core i7. I don't consider paying $200 to...

If he is getting such a low FPS then his problem is very much his hardware. Thus going to new hardware will make quite a difference.

Yes and no. Take a look at heavily modded games like Morrowind or Neverwinter Nights. Both still have active communities surrounding them years after their respective companies ceased all support. Though that said both are nowhere near the level of activity that they had during their peak.

The only way I could see of realizing this pipe dream of never having to start a new world is to wait for Mojang to cease all updates to Minecraft. Personally though I don't understand the concept of never starting over. Eventually you will stop progressing through the game world and will have...

You're not very experienced with making similar analogies are you? If he does nothing but wait for future releases to become available, he will never get anywhere. It is like waiting for better computer hardware to become available instead of making due with what is currently available on the...

Well you're going to die of old age eventually. Does that stop you from doing various activities during your life? Why should Minecraft be any different? Realize that this problem will exist for a long time. Even if Mojang ceases updates, Forge and other developers will continue on for some time...

As Minecraft and the mods developed for it continue to evolve older worlds will gradually cease being compatible. Actually your better bet would be to try to export sections of your world and import them somehow into your new world. I have no idea how you would go about this though as I'm pretty...

There is a section of the forums dedicated to these types of announcements. I highly doubt they would go through every single one of these worthless threads just to personally contact individuals when it is released.

I never understood those who feel mods or modpacks should try to enforce "difficulty". If I find something too easy, I give myself a handicap. It isn't like it is difficult to force yourself to avoid features you find "OP".

If you insist on having Redpower you may be stuck using older modpacks. I'm confident Eloraam is outright skipping 1.5.2 and there is no ETA for 1.6.x. She may have it out before the modpacks release or she may not. You might be waiting for a long time.

Yes but not everyone seeks the same type of entertainment. The best example that comes to mind is Dwarf Fortress. A large portion of that game revolves around what is commonly termed "Hidden Fun Stuff". One of the most common things a new player will do is flood their fortress due to a simple...

You're a new member. Your first post consists of two linked videos, a few short sentences, and a request to subscribe if people like them. It is practically an advertisement. There are even similarities to a post from a forum spambot.

If by list you mean the modpack description, that's likely because it is disabled by default.

Don't count on it working like that.

Really I think at this point even if Redpower 2 emerges for 1.6.x, FTB will likely just add config support and have it disabled by default. Too risky trying to wait for a mod author that is frankly unreliable. She can do whatever she wants, but we shouldn't be forced to wait for her.

GregTech's purpose is to increase the time needed to reach end game. The only way you're likely to keep it from meddling entirely is to remove it.

It is implemented on purpose to end the program if it loops too long without yielding (sleeping counts as yielding).
