There are two chrisvs. There is the one likes to plonk trolls, and there

is

one who is really the clogwog troll and libels the other one. That

simple. As for the asstroturfers, I am not sure that they are on COLA,

but I know that M$ employs asstroturfers to edit Wikipedia, for example,

and it might explain a lot if some of you trolls were paid, though I am

sure most of you are just stupid, bored and mean-spirited.

http://www.tesco.com the 189 pound eSys machines are great for this.

I would recommend Ubuntu Linux.

For top notch video performance, add a 50 quid NVidia 512Mb RAM

PCI Express card to offload some of that video processing.

Suddenly you can play 10 videos at once and still listen to MP3

all on the same PC with say 16 virtual screens all semi-translucent.

Blah blah blah...

See the videos for yourself http://www.youtube.com search for compiz and

beryl.

 

You'll have to hurry. Linux PCs are hot cakes and

sold out nearly everywhere.

A million new Linux users per month and the rate is increasing.

I've been able to get Compiz Fusion to run nicely on an old dell with a

2.4 ghz P4 and a mid range video card circa 5 to 6 years ago

Did anyone actually read the PC World article details? "2.4-GHz Core

2 Duo T7700 processor, the maximum 4GB of RAM... $2949" If I spend $3K

on a system, it better be fast. I'm going to compare specs on these

systems to see if it was a true apples-to-apples test (no pun

intended).

 

The bottom line is - who cares? It's just hardware. I'm sure we'll see

a Dell/HP/Acer/etc in the next month that is faster. I've see a Dell

set to dual boot Vista and Mac OS, and both ran fine. Now that they

are all Intel based, you can do whatever you want.

As I suspected - the Mac and HP Pavilion HDX had faster processors and

4 GB or RAM, where the others only had 2 GB and lesser procs. Well

DUH! Of course the system with the faster proc and more RAM will be

faster. If you dropped 4GB and a 2.4-GHz Core 2 Duo T7700 in the Dell

or Acer, it'd be right up there with the Mac and HDX. Not a fair

comparison.

 

Let's also not forget that in most cases, the Mac was $500-1000 MORE

than the competing systems. Is that really worth the price tag? That

depends on the usage model. Most home computer users do one or more of

the following:

-Email

-Web surfing

-Word processing

-Downloading music/etc.

-Porn

 

Do I really need a $3000 machine to do those? Or will a sub-$1000

notebook work just fine for those activities? Sure, if I'm a hard-core

gamer or graphic designer, I want performance, but Grandma doesn't

care - she just wants to look at pictures of her grandkids. And there

are more Grandmas/casual users out there by far...

You know, having a Mac does not exclude being stupid. Quite to the contrary.

The Mac advocates posting their drivel outside csma seem to have a combined

Well, obviously Mac users lack the smarts to reset crossposts.

Actually, if you are using dialup you might not have an Ethernet

port and thus no MAC address... so it is possible to be on the

Internet and not have a MAC. )

I have Compiz-Fusion running on top of KDE on a 1,7 Ghz CPU, 384 MiB

PC100 RAM and legacy nvidia Geoforce 2 MX400 with 64 MiB VRAM.

 

If I want to play a resource hungry game like Alien Arena, however I

shut down Compiz-Fusion and fall back to Kwin (using the Compiz-Fusion

icon).

 

I guess on a similar machine With 512 MiB RAM and a more modern GPU

(Let's say with 128 Mib VRAM), it should work just fine.

Crikey. No wonder so many of you have no idea about modern gaming if

thats the kind of HW you are using. 128 VRam would be a real bottom of

the line antique. Yup a quick glance at newegg:

 

http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=48&name=Video-Cards

 

Having said that, I must say that there really is need for the beast of

a machine I use for development with Linux. It really only gets half

used when playing full screen video on my TV as I work or when I boot to

XP to play an FPS or two.

Heheh. that's what I've got too... MX400. Slower CPU but more RAM though.

 

Maybe mine's a tad slower though, it's the PCI version. (This micro-atx

style mobo has no AGP slot)
