I agree, my 8890(3.2 P4) is the first laptop I have ever used that actually feels as fast as a good desktop(the 7200 RPM HD has a lot to do with that I'm sure)

My desktop(3.0 P4, 9800 Pro) benches quite a bit faster, but in everyday use they seem very similar.

If I had the extra cash I would of gone 7200RPM HD.
Dont get me wrong its very fast but I cant help thinking how much faster it could of been if I had the faster HD

Yea, two times 7200(RAID 0) would be a killer setup but it sure ain't cheap......

The 8890 I ordered is actually pretty modest in its capacities, 2.4ghz HT, 512 ddr 60gb HD, the reason for this being that I need this more of as an in-between computer that anything else.

the laptop I currently own has done me right since I've owned it.. but it just wasn't made for combat Eventually the keys melted off the keyboard and the components have started to die. <sighs>

The good news is that its still under warranty. The bad news is that to get its shipped and repaired will take like 4 months just to do properly. So I decided a new laptop was in order. Sager's 8890 is like gods gift to the media freak in me. Once I return from the war I'll upgrade anything that needs upgrading and ditch my desktop. The Laptop will prolly go to by little bro who is starting college and only has a Dual P2 450 MHZ that I built him.


for the curious my desktop is the following

2X monitors running 1150xsomethingerother w/capacity fer 1 more and a tv out
Dual gforce4mx 64MB cards
768MB DDR
1 60GB HD
1 40GB HD
1 3port Firewire Card
SB Audigy Platinum
500W PS in case that supports 6 HDs, 5 5.25 devices, 1 3.5 devices, 4 fans and sits on casters.
8x DVD ROM
24X CD Bruner
1 Scuzzy card w/ 4x scuzzy burner (reads and burns everything)
1 Sticker that sez "Tequilla-Have you hugged your toilet today?"



still sacrificing

The one and only?

Sorry, I haven't posted on a forum since the days I used to post on the Captured.com ones. That was when quake 3 didn't have many mods and Q2 was still my game of choice (Weapons Factory Mod). I did some art once for a site called gun-dreams and produced a few crappy maps... but I was probably last seen playing Navy Seal, or earth and beyond before I deployed.
