|
Since UT2003 Linux iso is available (Good on you Gentoo people!), I am pondering evil thoughts..
I should produce a cd of this and take it to some computer showrooms to see how well those systems could perform with this! Imagine the conversation:
*Evil Thoughts*
'Excuse me sir, I like to test this "monster" machine?'
"Course! This is the best of the line etc"
"Let me stick this cd in"
Moments passes...
"Monster machine.. yeah right"
I'm so attempted to try this out.. would put those machines to shame.
*End Evil Thoughts*

It would be interesting to see how many of the "reputable" brands give poor results after advertising there xGHZ machines with "convient" features like onboard graphics lol

Very true.. hence why I like to test various machines out 
Shouldn't we consider UT2003 as some monster benchmark testing?

I definitly puts the videocard and cpu through it's paces so it would be a good indication of how the machine is going to perform as far as most games go ....it would probably pay to try out hdparm to as alot of the "reputable" brands seem to stick cheap and slow hdd 's in

Do you have PC World over there? It is a huge PC/hardware warehouse.. a good testing ground but then too easy to 'crack' to get access to the system etc...
True about the HDD, what do they stick in known brand those days? Seagate? Western Digital?

No we dont have PC world over here but heaps of good pc suppliers ie www.dragonpc.co.nz and www.stylespc.com , one of the "reputable" brands I use to work in a service centre of used well known brands but usually stuck to the bottom of the range ..ie at the moment would be chucking in 5400rpm ata 66/100 , drives ...ok for the general home user surfing the net i suppose but thats about it ......
Cheers
