The Computer Megathread

[Nickelob Ultra]

I'm just gonna throw this out here;

The M11x is really nice in terms of size.  It's so small and yet it does more than most laptops.  It's expensive, though.  And Alienwares have had their fair share of breakdowns/RMAs.

maybe i should have just posted it here instead :/

The alienware one seems to be the better.

But you could also go with an ASUS or different one and get more for the price.

What are you trying to do with it?

I've heard that Alienware is the most popular choice.

Which ASUS would you be referring to? I say again I am not good at comparing and contrasting laptops/computers.

The main things I am going to be doing are playing Multiplayer/Singleplayer on Minecraft (Maxed graphics), World Of Warcraft (Maxed graphics), Blockland (Maced graphics) and Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars (Maxed graphics). I also work with 1080p video files on Corel VideoStudio Pro.

Well, there's this one, but it's out of stock at the moment.

[Legodude77]

Anyone know why I can run Blockland with 30 fps but I can't run something like crayon physics deluxe without 1 fps?

[KoopaScooper]

...because Crayon Physics has to do hundreds of calculations per second while Blockland doesn't?

[steve5451]

Blockland's brick physics are 3D and they don't lag according to him.
It is probably another issue.

Is it completely loving stupid in every way shape and form if I put a Server Motherboard and Processor in a Desktop system?

OSHT  monday TAKE A LOOK AT THIS

[Legodude77]

Also when I play on some servers, my mouse doesn't move smoothly. It's kinda jerky in a way.

7000 series is going to be god-like.

Uh, no clue. I wouldn't try it though.

Release dates, awesome :)

Did you already try turning down the sensitivity?

Until the next big series, yes.

where is the ati equivalent of the "Mixed GPU Acceleration" setting?
i want to change settings for better multi-monitor usage.

right now games lag when using 2 screens, total crap

[steve5451]

Well it does have to render two monitors rather than one.

Well it does have to render two monitors rather than one.

thats why i am asking for what nvidia calls "Mixed GPU Acceleration" as it disables the 3d rendering on the second screen. but i cant find the similar setting for ati.

whytf do you think im asking?
