Just the way certain programs run, more than 3.6 gigs of available ram and I do believe its optimized for 64 bit processors.
[QUOTE=don818;20816488]Thanks for this, I'll keep an eye on it for the future, I could always use my HD5750 on my 2007 laptop xD.[/QUOTE]
No you couldn't.

Okay than, either way I don't care much I've always used a desktop for gaming and always will.
Yeah, still, should be handy if any laptops come out that actually support it
Me: dude you have a shitty computer.
kid:no way man, I can run youtube videos fine.
[QUOTE=Pie_Lord;20817792]He didn't answer. Really, what's the difference?[/QUOTE]
The difference is that 64-bit uses 64-bit memory addresses. 32-bit OSes are limited to 2^32 bits = 4GB of addressable memory (RAM, VRAM and some other stuff), whereas 64-bit OSes are limited to 2^64 bits = some insanely huge number which is bigger than 4GB. So you can use more than 4GB of RAM.
There are some other features of 64-bit that make it a better architecture than 32-bit but the RAM thing is the most visible one.
Just got done installing ubuntu on an old desktop, when I was trying to burn the disc I got really pissed off because I thought my keystrokes were not registering. The keyboard was not plugged it.
Rate me dumb
I know how to minimize windows :smug:
I don't know about you, but when my mates are being illiterate i normally try to politly correct them, but if it's people i hate i just go out and say it.

Honest mistake, like the time I couldn't start my computer because the PSU was switched off :doh:

That's probably what he uses it for. If it runs what he needs well enough, I'd say his computer isn't shitty.
I remember this ill-informed kid who used to say that Macs were awesome because, "they had [I] a lot[/I] of graphics". I didn't know graphics came in quantities.

We got a sixth PC.
Smaller server.
I moved the old server upstairs and during spring break I'm going to try to make a cluster :D
With my main PC.

He has plays DS emulators, and flash games. He thinks he's a gamer.
I fucking hate it when people say MP3 means Music Player 3.
This dumb kid said "WHY DO THEY CALL MP3S MP3 PLAYERS? IT'S LIKE SAYING MUSIC PLAYER 3 PLAYER" I got into an argument with this kid about how an MP3 is a type of file, and how it's called an MP3 PLAYER. and I even got on Wikipedia and showed it to him, and he just says "NO YOU'RE STUPID" and walks off.
I fucking raged.
Stuff like that happens to me all the time.
Also, someone at my school said Chrome was just IE with a fancy skin on it.

I just mentally counted the PCs in our house and ended up with 9 :psyduck:
Of course 2 aren't used and 3 are mine. Hopefully 4 soon, I'm bidding on a server on ebay.
There are two working ones, three broken ones and a kind of working laptop in my house.
We only have two and my one is 9 years old :frown:
At best buy on iPhone. Walked by apple display. Tard working there selling stuff to a customer.
"macs don't get viruses like computers; they get these things called "Trojans", which only happens when you download music and pictures".
I did everything to not blurt out "YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" in the store. Instead, left virus reports and definitions on the screens of a few of the iMacs since he couldn't see the screens while we pulled stuff up.

technically, I have 14 computers, laptops included.
only 8 or so have an os though.
I also hate it when people think that your OS determines you computers power.
No shit, this kid came up to and asked what computer I had, and I went into my specs and stuff, and he goes "Oh... I have windows vista. it runs really fast and stuff. XP is really slow" (I had XP at the time). I think told him about meatspin, and lemonparty.

One time I overheard 2 people discussing something similar, but involving gamecube games.
They were both 5 years old.
If we're going for laptops posting, I'll show mine

Not in order
Toshiba Tecra, nice screen size, good for movies, fingerprint scanner
tiny ass chinese made "netbook" can't run anything, shitty framerate for movies, keyboard is glitchy and doubletypes
Couple expensive storebought laptops, one's an HP i think. Windows vista is pretty gay, but the webcams and built in remotes are nice.
old ass dell, I like this one, right now it's absolute shit has NO memory, but it was the first laptop my family has ever owned, the first pre-built too.
That's only the Laptops I own, I also have a custom gaming pc, stocked with logitech accessories. G15, joystick, headphones, mouse. All Logitech.
Not bragging or anything.

TBH the netbook looks like a incar DVD player
[QUOTE=Wonky;20806637]It's apple, what do you expect?[/QUOTE]
actually it's a user of an apple product, and since this thread is [i]based[/i] on people who have illiterate experiences and most of them are based on PC users you can't use this as a reason
goddamn this is annoying.

Same situation with my school except for Vista. We got new Laptops and the end of the year last year and the stickers said Vista, but they had reinstalled XP. I'm sorry but what the fuck?
