Consider I'm living in a tropical country , that could be a culture shock man =))

That will complicate the outside scenario

I was shovelling my driveway between runs haha - had snow blowing around the laptop while it was running

In that case, I recommend trying my setup

*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

[st_luxaeterna]

i have looked through this thread for abit but getting tired of looking for m17x r3 i7 2630qm and 460m benchmarks. I am only seeing r3 refresh.

[zoolian982]

The 460m unfortunately isnt that great anymore, so its not relevant for benching. Nowadays its 580, 6970 and 6990's.

[scook9]

Anything is relevant for benching. It is not about being the absolute best but rather the best for your hardware.

Yep, there are still guys squeezing the P4 chips

[scook9]

Until this bulldozer overclock that AMD is so proud of, a P4 was the fastest CPU in the world (by clock speed)

I OC'd my AMD Athlon 64 3200+ to 2.5ghz That's a whole 25% increase from the stock 2.0ghz LOLZZZZZ.
