  1. Well look at the case itself. It's got 4 vents. My old laptop had a dual-core which was slightly slower but never overheated.
  2. Well what do you think the temperature would reach under load? 50-60C is hot but tolerable.
  3. I can only eat one Lay's Potato Chip. ...till I reach for another.
  4. Done some research for a few hours, and this is what I came out with, and I'm actually kind of impressed. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856172010 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233087 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819111007 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226019 $1405. Before you attack it, I'll explain the priorities behind it. It most certainly is not a primary rig, my desktop is here for that. But what I want is something most notebooks similarly priced can't provide, which is above decent processing speeds, read speeds, and.... actually the hard drive. The SSD, puts this baby $300 higher than an equally sized HDD, and could drop this thing down to a VERY competitive price range, but the SSD is actually key here. It wipes the floor with HDDs in many ways, especially boot times, noise, and can open programs considerably faster. I couldn't find a laptop in the same price range with a sizeable SSD offered. The videocard is a mid-range type, its decent, can play COD4 pretty well, and is seemless in CSS, which is a real perk since that's my bread and butter. Also no other laptop in the price range with similar load outs utilizes DDR3 RAM, they usually go for the DDR2 800 instead, and it only reduces the budget by about $40-50. So to be a bit objective: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834117941 Is the biggest competitor I could find to rival it, slightly faster CPU, considerably faster GPU, 500GB HDD, and 6GB DDR2 RAM. http://www.guru3d.com/article/corsair-p128-ssd-review/1 Review and performance comparisons on the SSD. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-9600M-GT.9449.0.html ^ Great site to compare mobile GPUs fuckers said I couldn't do it.
  5. Four posts on 4chan and not a single meme? It must be fake.
  6. Some RAM performs better than others, DDR So some basic DDR2 800mhz is crap compared to DDR3 1600mhz.
  7. I know it's possible, but selection so far seems..... well shitty.
  8. oldfags.
  9. Anyone know any good places to find barebones parts for laptops? I'm thinking about building one and newegg is pretty limitied on their selection. Also I'm starting to read more into it and it seems like a difficult thing to do, since most parts are prefabbed for specific model.
  10. just realized I always surfed while holding w.
  11. If you're thinking a dual poli major with math why not just do economics? Then you can apply it to something.
  12. depends entirely on your major. And if you're general studies people GTFO and make room for people with an actual initiative.
  13. subscores go above 5.9 now? I'll have to check mine. Is it only for Windows 7 though?
  14. That would be the Suri approach. Also you need to feel that everyone is riding some sort of 19th century four wheeled vehicle in a conspiracy against you.
  15. I propose we change the legends tag to SG Illuminati
  16. zombie escape surf maps? Someone go run down ATIX.
  17. It's funny a 9600 GT is the same score as a GTX 295, granted they both max out. There's no comparing the two cards though.
  18. Something is just wrong here. It's wrong like watching the WTC fall with the Benny Hills theme song playing in the background. eGXFKuky-ak
  19. Go ask Havok if you can borrow the BanHammer Mk VII™.
