It matters?

Can I have the Fx-57 :D

See my siggy.

My old comp had S3 UNiChrome onboard. Uentil, that REALLY REALLY sucks.

Actually some laptops have dedicated GPU's, and not GPU's that are built into the mobo (that feeds off your CPU and system memory)

All you have to do is borrow someone elses PSU and test.

I'm going to but a 7900 GX2 now....

P4's suck ass, they don't outperform the FX60 in anything except some multimedia, but the FX62 owns in that. I'm going to update this when newegg carries more AM2 products.

Petezahut you are a rich basterd...No fair.

Wow this is f***ing gay. every time my character starts to develope it gets reset. I'm done playing if this happenes again.

Of coruse reformatting isn't the only way to do it, but it is the easist way to do and explain.

Our first benchmark is called Xtreme CPU Benchmark. There are various complex math calculations here, and it tets how long it takes you to do them. This benchmark is for AMD proccessors, as Intel P4's cannot calculate factorials for shit. http://www.ultimate-filez.com/XtremeCPUBenchmark.zip My Score: 2665, 63 sec. Our next one is SuperPI, it calculates a certain file size of PI decimal places. Run the 1 Meg test. My score: Futremark 3dmarks, don't need to place your ORB's I don't feel like typing a description. '05: Score: 6665 3DMarks CPU: 6052 CPUMarks '06: Score: 3060 3DMarks SM 2.0 Score: 1336 Marks SM 3.0 Score: 1173 Marks CPU Score: 1076 Marks

Thats how much i bought my desktop for ;), you won't get a gaming laptop that cheap.

What are you talking about "optimized"?

If you want to buy an Intel get he Core Duo 2. Its the only proccessor that will outperform the FX60, and it does very well according to the pre-release benchies. GHZ isn't everything dude.

Yes, and no. Who knows we may evntually be able to create worm holes to travel across the universe. w00t Stargate, the reality edition.

There is no doubt in my mind that aliens exist. There is most definantly life on other planets, there are thousands of galaxies in our universe alone, not to mention there is more than one universe. Space is endless, as hard as that is to picture, there is indefinantly planets like our own that can sustain life as we know it, or life that is totally differant.

Seems all done, I hope you guys like the re-arranging. I tihnk it looks alot neater now, and I added a couple new sections as well. Also, I am going to be the new Computer Section moderator. Any problems, contect the admins, and not me. I don't have the account to fix this anylonger.

C++ isn't even that hard to learn, AgentGOD taught me like 3 chapters from his c++ class in under 2 hours.

I only talk about my comp around Drew and people who ask.
