damn yo, this computer is in nuts... and it has a fridge in it!!
but it's not 64 bit like the g5 or athalon right? |
no, it is an overclocked Intel P4EE.
Apart from professional workstations, as a 'consumer' you only get 64 bit in Athlon-64 and G5's |

700fps in quake arena III... HOLY :eyes: :eyespop: |
Unless your monitor can go at 700Hz, and your optical nerve and brain register at that speed, what's the point (besides bragging rights and a bit of headroom).
btw, this is SOOO stupid: http://www.go-l.com/logo/index.htm
Imagine you make your system and you get this ty brown rock on it, instead of the indigo or green you were hoping for... |

now _THAT_ is a great joke if I have ever heard one. |
hehehe i know it sounds crazy, but that standard was born dead.
Intel is pushing agressivly 801.11g now, rendering bluetooth obsolete, think about it. |

yeah? they are completely different standards for a completely different purpose. I need 802.11a/b/g to get online, I need BT for my PAN. Have you seen 'ANY' 802.11a/b/g (WLAN from now on) headsets for your phone? How about printers? mice?
no, why not? 'cause there is a different reason for using each of them BT is for doing stuff without intervention, you walk into the room and your cell phone syncs with you pc's calendar... and the pc will not accept all teh incoming calls from your phone...
you use WLAN for transferring files and network access. Yes, there are areas where the two overlap, but they are -in no way- competition to each other, they are complimentary at best.
_THINK_ about it. |

that you can play at 1600 x 1200 at 90fps..
furthermore that is AVERAGE fps. If you get like 60fps, that does not 'guarantee' that it will be >30 ALL THE TIME..
but this argument is about 4 years old and i am not going to reiterate points that have been made 4 GAZILLION times.... |

how much???? |
About 8000 USD for the best version of their Mach 3.8. 4000 USD for the lowest-class version of their Mach 3.5. Why can't I get on their site now? I saw the whole article earlier and now I can't get on their site. I wonder if you can buy any of their "special" components separately. I'm pretty interested in that "PuRam" and RamDrives. |

I was gonna say something but drizzt beat me to it. I think you have the two notions mixed up. Bluetooth is sweet for having a completely cordless computer setup. The only thing that I am missing is the modem/router and my MP3 player. Otheriwse, printer, camera, PDA, keyboard, mouse, and design tablet are cordless baby!
I don't even think I'm ever going to spend the money for a 801.11g setup. The a/b are find for me. I don't see the speed needed for that much transfer.
Good discussion about wireless tho.
------------------------------
oh yeah, that computer is sweet. a little over-rated but I would kill for that thing in a heart beat. |

No such thing exists. "Fastest" stock AMD out right now is 2.2Ghz XP 3200+ but low megahertz doesnt mean they are slower than intel counterparts. In fact, 2.2Ghz AMD is faster than a 2.8GHz HT pentium 4, cause AMDs do more work per clock cycle. Got it? :) |

Then don't.
I don't see the point in dropping an extra load of cash for a couple 100 extra fps. My Raddy 9600 Pro is good enough. |
