according to wipikedia, it says As applied to English, it refers to the use of a verb (in its -ing form) as a noun (for example, the verb "learning" in the sentence "Learning is an easy process for some")

Dude... My machine is from '02

It can run just about any game you want. Except BFBC2 and BF3. And Portal 2.

It can't run Portal 2?

But that's the deciding factor for whether to buy a new computer!

I demand that you buy a new computer. To miss out on the masterpiece that is Portal 2 is to live as if life never happened.

answer me about the gerund is it correct?

when will be the next release i'm very excited! :D
i'm dyING to play it ;D

That's only because this machine doesn't have a sound card yet. And I am never going to put any money into this machine. I have played through Portal 2 anyway.

My work machine is capable of running Crysis at the highest settings.

I wouldn't consider a high def glorified puzzle game a masterpiece...

but yeah skid upgrade dat pc

Yes well my work machine can run Minecraft on highest settings.

...dump the dinosaur right now..

What makes you say that?

Dude I have only ever upgraded the CPU power and altered RAM amounts. Previous iteration had 3GB Ram but 2.8GHz single core. Before that I had 2GB Ram 2.8GHz and before that 2GB Ram 2.4 GHz

everything on that pc is outdated

the duel core processor and the pathetic 2 gb ram make me shudder

4 gigs o' ram and a quad core at least or youre in a pile of crap

Octa core and 16GB of RAM okay? That's on my paid work machine which I cannot play games on. This is just a toy that I wanna see how far I can get without spending a penny. Norly... I actually found a soundcard on my brothers corkboard on the door of his room that I might steal and make use of...

Watch out guys we got a badazz over here! Whoa man, we're all piles o crap for using a dual core? Hmm, guess so.

I use single core!

Let's just.... Any updates....?

Quad core i7 <3

Tbqh, my Alianware wont evern run Minecraft smoothly... it needs formatting though really.

4GB DDR3 Ram
Duel Core U7300 Overclocked to 1.73 GHz processor
1GB Nvidia 335M GeForce Graphics Card
Windows 7 64 bit.

Rather annoying tbfh, it should run it with ease...

My laptop runs minecraft quite smoothly...

6GB DDR3 Ram
i5 2410M @ 2.3ghz w/ turbo boost 2.9ghz
1GB Nvidia 540M GeForce
W7 64 bit.

Minecraft is a steady 80 frames in full screen :D

ftfy

anyway yes, you/we are, I'm talking from experience

I run Meincraft at a steady 150, Fallout 3 and NV on ultra at 50 with lots of lag spikes(damned Bethesda), Halo at 75 on custom maps, and BF3 on High at 40.

Crysis 2 on Ultra 27-45

8GB DDR3 RAM
Intel i7-920 Quad core @2.8GHz
1GB ATI/AMD Radeon HD 6670
Windows 7 64 bit.
DX11

We're talking about laptops here bro, of course a PC performs better than laptops. My laptop plays halo fine with OS and motion blur at around 50-70 fps. Just tried CMT's map today too.

Technology races on, the speed getting quicker every year.

My minecraft runs smoothly until the laptop overheats due to incredibly sloppy cooling design from Dell. You can't even open it up fully to get to the "dustbin" to suck it clear from dust. However I find shoving something underneath the laptop to create some airflow below it helps increase the "time-to-overheat" significantly :p

Getting a Dell is not a wise business move. At the very least you should get an HP.

Naw man, get an Acer aspire. I got one $700 dollars, came with...

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel Core i3 2120
4gb DDR3 Ram
1 TB hard drive
AMD Radeon HD 6450 512mb

Now thats a bargain. Of course, I haven't yet installed Halo again...

Whats higher than a terabyte?

My dad's got a Dell laptop. It works fine now... sort of. It used to crash every 10 minutes. Now it only crashes every few hours after some setting tweaks. :P



I wouldn't expect Minecraft to work on that. 1.73 GHz is nowhere near enough to run Minecraft smoothly on high settings. Minecraft uses a voxel engine written in java. Just because the graphics suck, doesn't mean the game's not power hungry. Infinite worlds, remember. There's also a crazy building engine that the game runs on. Additionally, the encounter spawning is fairly power hungry as far as I've learnt from research.

Minecraft is extremely complex. It's often underestimated.

From my experience:

HP < Dell

My HP laptop sucked, quickly began overheating only after a year, graphics card started pooping, etc.

My Dell one, which was the first computer I got, worked amazing, still had relatively nice graphics (this was an XPS), was fast, had XP (lol), and never really overheated.

My computer is a Dell and it runs better than any machine I've ever had, though it's the most powerful.


Only issue is that if the power cable gets moved a bit it turns off, but that only happens when i accidentally kick it.

I can run Crysis on High...

Maybe I should upgrade the processor actually, that is pretty slow.

2 terabyte :)
edit: okay so seriously... the next step up is petabyte.

It really depends on what end you get it at. My current HP Laptop is fantastic, capable of running most games on highest settings (Ultra if the game is stable, unlike Fallout series). I haven't even messed with BSOD yet.

Enough about Computers. I want to see updates. X3

Worst thing you could ever do is buy Dell. Custom build or gtfo.
