Yeah fuck that.

I'll just buy the Logitech 5.1 surround I've wanted for awhile now. That's a good way to drop $350

I've been thinking about buying a Velociraptor for my program installs. I'm still not sure if I should or not. My Seagate is pretty fast as it is.

It is low.

My seagate baracuda can pull at least 150 mb/s read. I forget write.
And that's at least 4 years old.

Nice drive you got there.

You can't find it because it varies hugely.

The notion of "common" is hard to pinpoint, as common could mean a laptop, general use desktop, etc, or someone's, say, Velociraptor HDD.

If you're still trying to justify buying an SSD, I'd say just do it. They're fun.

I forget the name of it, but I know it has rice fields, but yeah I know what map your calling a cluster fuck. I played it last night attacking. Possibly the worst map I've ever played in a battlefield game. It's impossible.

Operation Hastings is easily the best. It's really fun and pretty balanced.

The rest of the maps are great, too, but like you said can be kinda outrageously imbalanced.

A PSU will not cost $300. More like 100 to 120 tops.

SSD will probably run you 100, if you get something like a 60 gb.

Building computer prices generally don't include half the shit you included anyways. Like monitors and desks.

I've come to the conclusion that going from Mass Effect 2 to this game was a bad choice.

There was so many things in Mass Effect that I wanted to be in Fallout, mainly the dialogue. It kinda made me skip a lot of it, for some reason. I just got bored too easily.

That being said, I just did my first play through. I sided with the NCR with the help of the boomers and Brotherhood of Steel.

Didn't particularly like the ending, but oh well.

Also, I did that one perk that makes weird stuff happen, whatever it's called. I can't say I ever actually noticed anything weird.

I'm going to play through again. I think being evil in this one will be fun.

ONE LAST THING:
I wanted to be neutral. Apparently playing through with the NCR makes that impossible, because every one you kill gives you good karma. I ended up being very good and it pissed me off.

The test does work and does make the difference between old and new CPUs.
ITT we talk out of our assholes.

The speed at which calculating pi means nothing in terms of PC performance. CPUs calculate things in very specific ways, and just because your PC can calculate pi very quickly doesn't mean it's better or worse then any other CPU.

Case in point: Intel CPUs are better at rendering video over AMD. Tests prove this. Doesn't make Intel CPUs better, however.

in SSD? Post #286991
I have a 30 GB SSD. I wish it was bigger. I have about 2.5 gb left, and I really wish I had about 30 more.

Advantages, though? Boot time is 10 seconds to desktop and using Firefox.

If you're getting an SSD, you should also stick with OCZ or Intel. They're still the best.

Luke, get your ass in here and explain "I Eat Monkey Chow" to everyone
fffffffffff okay

Some of you may know me as IEMC, standing for I eat monkey chow. I was 13 when I joined the site. I liked Toy Story. In the movie there's a line where Misses Potato Head goes something like "and don't forget the monkey chow."

I can't be bothered to finish the quote, but yah. I decided I liked monkey chow as well. And at that time I was kinda obsessed win monkeys.

People called me IEMC to shorten my terrible name. Then that stuck for a few years.

Then about 2 or 3 yeas ago I had it changed to Luke. Because that's my name.

Potatis reminds me of my girlfriend's little brother who has tourettes and ADD issues. He loves pokemon with everything he is, but alas has no friends because he plays wii and DS all day.

He's a little brat as well, and whines and cries way too often to be a 10 year old.
He needs to be out getting laid like the rest of our youth. Isn't that what kids do now days?

I love it to pieces. For the price you really can't go wrong.

The only real CPU intensive thing I've done so far is converted a video file, and it went very quickly. I don't have much to compare it to, but I know it's been handling what I've been giving it so far.

Yah. SSD's have a few years before they're commercially viable to overtake HDDs.

You might use SSDs for program use, but as far as file storage it's not even worth it.
