Quake3World

What if that 500gigger goes bad? Seems like I would be putting all of my eggs in one basket.

true... in that case I'd keep a disconnected HD on the case and just connect it for back ups, not to mention that it prolly sounds like a HDD symphony in that room.

lol, true

i haven't rely looked at hardware lately. do they sell mobo with 2 cpu atatchment thing things?

yes

Duel CPU's are mostly for Servers but you can get a Dual AMD sempron (also made for a server) so you don't have to have Intel as a Dual Mother board.

I must point out that Dual CPU's for gaming isn’t efficient nor recommended.

38 with CS2, Winamp, and IE7 on.

Laptop is 18.5V*3.5A so 65 watts

Desktop is 600 watts

So using laptop can cut electricity down by a factor of 9. Makes my bills a lot cheaper

huh, lol ,what? You may have a 600w psu in your pc, but its only drawing the power demanded by your internal components.

You're right, it scales to the use its getting. Unfortunately for me, my raid array sucks up most of it on a constant basis. I do have some headroom though. Also you can factor in the laptop powering its own screen, whereas a desktop screen is extra load. Just checked my TFT, and it draws 0.7A at 240v so that's about 150-200 watts on top of the box....

yea but that's without internet

with internet it's 13 - but does that include the taskmgr process?

This thread has no value. I could have one thousand idle processes taking up 1kB. If I have enough Ram to make up for it. My computer would be running fine.

The general rule of thumb is to have less active processes running to yield most of the CPU time for the application in question.

The real question should be:

How much processor time (CPU usage) is wasted on idle/active applications while your computer is running. With standard browsing habits, my CPU usage never passes 5% and my page file never exceeds 300 MB

3200+ Athlon XP with 1 GB of ram. (36 processes, only a handful active)

True, but when you have 30-60-80-100 etc. processes it eats ram too, and that will be noticeable if you don't have a lot (below 1gb)

Say you have 1gb, and your processes are taking up 500mb, and you start playing a heavy game that will eat the remainder and would want more, it'll start reaching for the page file.

I dunno but when I play games I like to have as little stuff running as I can.

im having peaks of 2% right now, PF of 300. woopeedoo

k got mine down to 12 (13 including task manager)

discovered i had windows user mode driver framework service on automatic instead of disabled.

Lol fuck off duffcunt

17 running processes, I have an unhealthy obsession with always trying to cut the processes to bare minimum. Even closing explorer when a game runs. (I have 1GB of ram)

Guess it's why I always load up first in to a level on multiplayer.
