Everything > Intel, sadly...

saw a quote in someones sig: "nothing beats Intel's clock speeds, everything beats their performance"

holy shit. calm down. friggin rich too. all i have is a shitty laptop. i would kill for a top-end system. did you even click the link? it says it right on the site. if theyre lying just send the damn thing back and get a refund...and call me a n00b? you were the one who said laptops dont have AGP when obviously mine does. i have the system info to prove it too, if you need that. and if thats not enogh i can get a freakin pic of mobo if thats what it takes.

what setup was it? brand of mobo? ram?
was it a game or some other program?
the tests i saw didnt involve games.
but i hear the 64 performs better at games but the G5 is better with multitasking. it all depends on what you use it for.

make sure that you have the password disabled for standby and screensaver. if its on every time the screensaver comes on or it goes into standby it will go to the login screen and ask for your password (assuming you have one).

i suppose if you but alot of money in a custom built PC, the results would be different.

The G5 IS NOT liquid cooled, noob. It's cooled by the good ol' heatsink+fan.
damn do you all have to be so ****ing ignorant.
LOOK http://www.apple.com/powermac/design.html
see? liquid cooled. and even a single 1.8GHz G5 is still faster than the best AMD 64 FX55. and by the way im not an "arrogant Mac user" i dont even own my own Mac. im using a Dell. so im an "arrogant Dell user" ;)

macs dont suck. the new 2.5GHz G5 brings even the fastest Intel or AMD to shame. and using 2 of them together makes it even more powerful. and dual 1.25 GHz FSBs. not to metion that you can get up to 8 gigs of ram. and that it has built in liquid cooling for each cpu, four cooling zones and 9 fans. wont see that in any other prebuilt. also that OSX is one of the most powerful, stable and user-friendly operating systems out there. the only thing that sucks is that they dont make more games for macs.

dont believe me? take a look at the specs http://www.apple.com/powermac/performance

in WLAN Post #91130
the following things can interfere with WLAN.
-cell phones: some models transmit on the same frequency as the router, and transmit data even while not being used. move it away from the computer or router or turn it off.
-cordless phones: newer models of cordless phones often use the same frequency as the network. try moving the base station to another location or use a lower frequency model.
-microwave ovens: these work at the same frequency of wireless devices. if it is near the router or the pc or between them, it will cause interference while running.
-distance and obstructions: the further the pc is from the router, the more prone the signal is to interference. objects between the router and the pc will weaken the signal. the fewer walls, floors, furniture, etc between the better the signal will be.

if it is real, it has a similar profile to the B-2 stealth bomber. as for the "glow" underneath? landing lights. basically powerful headlights that allow the pilot to see the runway. if they are rear mounted then they will illuminate the bottom of the plane. not to mention that just so happens to be on the approach path to Reagan Intl Airport. its a plane - if its even real.

in New laptop Post #90865
get a laptop with a cheap graphics card. even something like the 32MB Mobility Radeon 9000 (what ive got) will work better than having intergrated graphics. it wont cost much more and you can OC the 9000's easily without without producing too much extra heat.

also dont get the celeron. the pentium M's and P4's as well as the AMD's perform much better.

too bad intel isnt that smart. they could have a 3.8 GHz P4 using the Dothan core and that thing would be fast as hell. i guess intel thinks longer piplines are better.
