no shit, but your computer running at overclocked settings beats your computer running at stock settings.

92.3GB--and that's with an 8GB pagefile (I made it really big so the HDD wouldn't have a lot more physical room on the disk to use. Less time looking for the damn thing)

Yeah I don't have much installed. 500MB of music (and about half of the files are those .flac files which are like 30MB each, I have a total of 25 songs ), Oblivion, Quake 1, Doom 3, BF2142, a couple mods for Doom 3, Windows, 3DMARK06... and a few oddball programs not really worth mentioning in terms of hard drive space used by them.

Hard drive friendly? It's just doing it's job, happily too, I'm sure. The only way to be mean to a hard drive is to never defrag it and/or put it togeather with a whole bunch of other hard drives, like making a hard drive sandwich. No room to breathe and eventually the hard drive says "Fuck you! I'm not doing this anymore! /suicide".

In theoretics, I would still give you an 7.5/10. Monitor is limiting your "pretend" graphics card

6.5/10

Hey JrRacinFan, I changed my resolution to what's probably the native resolution. It CAN do 1280x1024 but it looked like crap. Besides, 1280x1024 was only 60hz

Nice hat! For a 17" it would look pretty bad. Try gaming at that res, it may make your card cry, no hurt feelings intended.

9.58/10. Points and laughs at my rig, while kicking dirt in its face and taking its lunch money.
