Title: Well the new PC is up and running Post by: Aske on November 29, 2006, 07:11:10 PM Finally got some bare bones protection and functionality on it...
Sal is trying a new game on it now, and throughout the week we'll actually load it up with office, openoffice, photoshop, gimp, and all the other standard stuff Title: Re: Well the new PC is up and running Post by: stroh on November 29, 2006, 07:24:15 PM [sm_thumbsup]

:'( Title: Re: Well the new PC is up and running Post by: Aske on November 30, 2006, 09:58:22 AM oh, and it can run Junior 9 with 1200 MB of RAM and evaluate 2M positions a second. I think it will be beating me everytime. If i ever get the dual proc version, I guess 3.5M positions a second is possible.
;D of course, with even better machines (quad cores, faster RAM, etc) it's no wonder these machines are beatine gradnmasters routinely now. |
