Half Life 2: Episode One

You should be able to change it later.

I am currently trying to complete the ****load of work I put off until the end of springbreak - something that ends on Monday. Oh well, if I get it done maybe I'll run out and get my copy of Brawl at midnight.

When I tried to change to my Gmail it refused to switch - but that was awhile ago. Edit: nevermind, it switched this time - thanks for the heads up.

*.ru is often used by spammers - what I am not sure about is why Gmail is barred.

Nice set-up, but there are few thing I might change.

Ok, here is what I could find out about it: Name: Pentium Dual Core T2060 Specs: 1.6Ghz/533Mhz fsb/1MB L2 Cache. Execute Disable Bit SpeedStep Socket: M It seems to be slightly less powerful than a Core 2 Duo, but more powerful than a Celeron chip - although it runs hotter than either of these. At first glance it seems like a T2050, but that has a 2MB cache - although some people speculate that the 2060 was a run of chips with one faulty L2 cache*. The problem with this theory is that Intel clearly lists the T2060 as a different family of processor, although it is based on the other's architecture, and the fact that the chips preform differently when running. It is also noteworthy that Intel does make a 2MB L2 cache version of the chip, although this is fairly rare. *This screenshot shows a T2060 that has been identified as a T2050 with only 1MB of L2 Cache.

PC > All

Duel Core or Core 2 Duo? A 1.6 Ghz Core 2 Duo is not that bad (I have a 1.4 Ghz C2D in my laptop* and can play things like Bloodlines and Half Life 2 Episode 2 at decent frame rates (on average I get between 40 and 60 FPS with everything except motion blur turned on when I do the Orange Box video stress test). A 2.0 Ghz would have been better, but that would have been another $130, and I didn't have a lot to spend at the time - although I guess I could always upgrade later, Dells seem relatively friendly to that. *It does have a faster bus speed than the original C2Ds however, so that might be another thing to look at.

But Wals wouldn't lead his followers astray...

I'm trying to get Jane's USAF running on my Vista laptop and playing Bloodlines.

I would go with the brands Gfted1 mentioned...

They have a fairly bad reputation when it comes to quality and quality control...

And guess what I'm playing...

I would go with either Dell or Alienware...

As do I, and the ashes from each fire are mixed into a pulp. Heh, I would have probably done something similar...

Shedding and burning sensitive trash would help, but someone could still do some social engineering and get information before you picked it up (id est take mail directly from your postal box).

Infected - Bad Religion

I know it's pointless, I just want to see if it would work - I would not use it over a keyboard and mouse.

I'm planning on trying this sometime this week - wish me luck!

Here's my try, if you like it I'll smooth out the bad areas around his shoulder and clean it up a bit.

I can try my hand at it tonight or tomorrow if you want another attempt...

If you have any advice for me, I would welcome it.

I would choose the Core 2 Duo, as even the extremely low Ghz module in my laptop can handle Half Life 2: Episode Two at almost full specs and a thirty-two person game of Team Fortress Two.

I'm now playing Twilight Princess with a bit of Bloodlines on the side (about a week until Brawl)...
