Overclocking adds to the experience of knowing how a computer works, why do you think there's books on how to overclock? Customizing it also adds to the experience on how to do things... like learning how to mod your computer maybe one day you'd like to open up a business on it like many has done so and prospered?

And in your first post you stated oh yea, you go buy a 500 dollar card WRONG. You dont need the top of the line equipment to run a game. and when you say that it runs choppy you spend 1000 of equpiment WRONG AGAIN pal, you can resalvage equpiment like the hard drives, the ram if you're running DDR, sound card, speakers, monitor, all that.

And from the look of those posts that you added, it seems that you don't know how to use a computer that great so you flame the computer and you say to people you need to buy a whole new computer when you can re use parts


buddy calm down, its a few posts, and besides its just gaming, im just trying to make a point, jeez at least this kind of stuff isnt my life, its called excercise, and friends, yes FRIENDS (you wanna know how i know you dont have a life, you've got almost 2000 posts, i dont even have time for more than 3 a day cuz i go to the movies and stuff with my friends). man some ppl need to go outside more. lol


ps: check your grammer, lol. i wouldn't want to spend 1000 of equipment either (watever that means lol)

Its called thread crapping, if you need to add something on and there isnt a new post yet, you use this little button called EDIT.

Does this mean your are also saying thatthese people and these people and these people and these people have no life? just wondering....



hmmm.....maybe the reason he has almost 2000 posts is because he has been a member for about a year and a half. Now, lets do some simple math.

365 days in a year + 180 days (half year)= 545 total days
545 days x 3 posts a day = 1635 posts

Wow, that is about 2000 posts. So if you would put 3 a day (as you said u do) for 1 1/2 years you would have about the same # of posts. Thus, that means you would classify yourself as having no life
Please do your research and check your facts so next time someone doesnt have to correct you

Good day



(I realize that this post was a crapper, but i had to clarify those points. srry)

Laptops are good enough to play those games if they have a mobile Nvidia or mobile Radeon chip in them.

From my experience with games, I've found that, even at the expense, a laptop is better than a hefty portable console. Mainly because of LAN play and the awesome ability to play Half-Life games (ie all 50000000000000 of them). I know X-box can do LAN play, but having 4 people aquint at a screen the size of a peice of paper isn't the greatest idea in the world.

Console and computers have their points, but I personally like computers better, expecially since now the great arms race has slowed down and we can play new games on 2 year old machines.

Of course, I'll continue to play my Gameboy Advance

all i have to say on this one is: Half Life 2.... PC games are here to stay, they've come too far to fizzle out now. i mean what drives intel and amd to make 3gig processors, or nvidia and ati to make rediculous videocards? it sure as hell isnt the newest web browser or spreadsheet program just food for thought

I think this hole danm console thing is a rip off because first they make a console and a few games then about half a year later they make you buy the next new and improved console and the sequels to those games then the next console comes out then on and on and on it goes. And i also hate konami for making mgs1 and 2 only for ps2 then they make mgs2 substance for only xbox then they make mgs1 remake only for GC what kind of crap is that! YOU HAVE TO BUY 3 DIFFERENT CONSOLSE JUST TO PLAY ONE DANM GAME SERIES!!!!! JUST ONE DANM @!#$$% RIP OFF!!!
