Author Topic: Do you hate your computer?  (Read 2040 times)

i cant have my laptop on for more than half an hour without a fan blowing onto it without it overheating
yes i do hate it

I despise the specs, but I love the fact I have a computer

It's not fantastic, nor is it hideously horrible.



all of my current computers:

dads desktop: no
amd athlon II x4 something at 3.0 ghz
radeon hd 6770
1080p monitor
8gb ram.
windows 7 but takes about as long as my laptop to boot.

my desktop: NO
amd athlon (first gen, therefore am2 socket) x2
nvidia 9800gt (sounds like stuff but it can run blockland shadows at max and i mean loving max with decent FPS in demanding enviroments, it's still a very good GPU.)
wireless keyboard with a wired mouse, i don't get how wireless keyboards are less responsive, they are equally as responsive in all departments, can't wait till i get a usb wireless adapter though.
windows vista home basic (boots to desktop in 15 seconds with a 5400 rpm 320 gb HDD and puts boot SSDs to shame, also the best version of vista which is almost equally stable as XP)
4GB of ddr2 ram.
1440x900 screen

old laptop: yes not even telling specs because it would make you all proud of your stuffty computers.
but ill give you one thing its just like jetloks laptop.

new laptop: forget no.
windows 7
radeon hd 6650m
8gb ram (upgraded from 4gb)
4 hour battery life
intel core i5-2450m
17.3" screen at 1600x900
and thats pretty much it.


loving my computer quite a bit atm

I love my laptop. It's a terrible piece of junk, but I love it anyway.

No, I just need to fix her up and get her some new shoes n clothes and we'll be fine. If I don't do the previous I would still love my laptop. Providing entertainment since Spring '07

My computers are like my past girlfriends -- I hate them but I can't get a better one

Holy crap. Old motherboards that have LGA775 sockets for my CPU with 2 GPU slots are over 600 loving dollars!


What the forget? How come newer and better motherboards are cheaper?

Mines alright, except for the shaders part for blockland then it sucks :( damn you intel!

Intel CPUs are great, you're just trying to game on a integrated GPU.

The newer ones are easier to mass-produce. Older models were big and clunky.
