What's so impressive about doms specs? :S

I think the H20 guy has the best setup overall, doesn't he have like Kentsfield with 8800's in SLI?

Yeah, thats what i said, but he has to post first

Deleted member 3 · Apr 19, 2007

So what is the definition of "best"? Most processing power? Fastest graphics? Fastest I/O? Most pr0n stored on it?

We cant let you win Dan

I guess its the best "all rounder"

D007 · Apr 19, 2007

Eh, I guess im like a little above adverage..lol.. i kinda thought overclocking would come into play just for the amount of cash we blow on cooling alone..lol.. i mean my cpu cooler alone costed like 140 bucks lol.. all good though, I don't expect to take 1st place anyway lol.. I'd just like to see what the badest system has

..

Some body pm him and tell him to post. Even his second rig is sick. lol

Not trying to be offensive here, so please don't take this wrong. What if you have 2 people that have everything the same specs, but different cpus? Like everything equal, except one person has a X6800 core 2 at stock speeds (2.93Ghz), and the other has only an E6300, but it's clocked to 3.6Ghz. The E6300 would clearly be faster. How would you judge that?

It's a best/worst thread not fastest/slowest, technically if there were 2 identical rigs and one was overclocked the non overclocked would be the best as it would last longer!

OK, I'm not convinced either :rockout:

Jimmy 2004 · Apr 19, 2007

I need by bit of fame - put me on the list as worst!

I know I don't have the worst PC on TPU, but I think the people with slower PCs are staying away...

Anyway, my PC's staying the same for a while now - not putting any more money into it unless it breaks. Really wish I bought a PCI-E socket 754 motherboard now, but this is good enough for what I use it for.

Wile E · Apr 19, 2007

Yay! I'm no longer the worst!

Joshmcmillan · Apr 19, 2007

ok jimmy's is updated to worst pc, Dom's still at the top and Pincy's winning the laptop section.

If I put someones pc up the top as the best but actuall som1 els has the best pc and they've already posted plz let me know because I can make mistakes.
Basicly everyone on TPU overclocks so it probebly wldn't make much difference in the end anyway but if it comes to the difference between there being a tie and someone winning I will count overclocking, not that I know anything about overclocking coz I don't do it mylself but I will ask someone.
