if I may ask.. what was wrong with your sig viciousXUSMC?

[~hi2u~]

There are people out there with more money than sense, trust me.

Like the x9000 cpu for $1000....

2.57ghz is a nice place to be, its new cpu tech and will run really well. If it was slower like the 2ghz area (BB X1 Owners) I would probably manually upgrade to the 2.8ghz cpu, but from 2.57 --> 2.8 is not worth it. Also if I am not mistaken I saw somebody post that this laptop overclocks the cpu. So that 2.57ghz is much closer to 2.8.

It's 2.53

Do you think paying the $190 for office basic is worth it? Because then I still don't get powerpoint. I wonder if open office is good enough.

[ViciousXUSMC]

Thats totally on you and if you use it or need it.

I have a full version of office laying around... So I wouldn't get it.

if I may ask.. what was wrong with your sig viciousXUSMC?

I was in violation because I had 2 images (small images and not out of order) but the rules say 2 images are not allowed. So I edited it into 1 image, but then it was too wide (less than 600 pixels it would not cause scrolling) but it was not tall the pixel count was still less than if you took the max and multiplied it out.

So say my images was 200x600 and they say its ok to have 600x200 its the same deal as far as pixel count but it was again against the rules. So after taking the time to edit it twice and then being asked to fix my sig 3x when there was nothing wrong with it in the first place I said forget it, its not worth the trouble I will just delete it.

Sad thing is what was my sig? It was a advertisment and link to desktopreview.com the sister site for here, and links to my guides & reviews. Actual good use of space and not pointless space taking junk.

I am not one for policing minor things like this, unless its honestly called for by obscene material, large images, ect. So I put the sig police has here.

One of the mods saw it and decided to get me back again and edit my sig to say yes they were here, so now I replied.

I dont want bad mojo with the mods, so hopefully they understand my sarcastic and comic nature and are just playing along and are not actually mad at me.

I am quite serious tho that it was not a big deal and should not have been enforced like it was, I can easily find 5 or 6 people in 10 minutes with sig violations if we follow the rules down to the "t"

[~hi2u~]

Just pre-ordered my A1! This will be my first laptop ever!

[ViciousXUSMC]

Cool, I am getting one too most probably its a great laptop it seems.

Question about the graphics card.

If I were to try to make 3D models and games, would the 9600 GS with 1 gig be enough, or would I need the 9700 GT? I plan on using Autodesk Maya and OpenGL to try and make 3D models and games.

[xcolt]

Well, I think the 9600 GS is ENOUGH but it never hurts to go up! Only down:P

[ViciousXUSMC]

I dunno I have never used those kind of programs so I can not even begin to guess what kind of gpu power they demand.

[Count Kaiser]

Well, I like the M50vm better because it looks nicer and most likely runs cooler, but I don't know if the 9600 GS will be enough.
