haha Asians
I used to do the same things you are doing with your computers, i've done them and they weren't for me..
Trinity does look promising, AMD's mid-high range to anything below are fantastic, that's the only sector that they not only compete in but are now dominating, on die dedicated graphics.....got them so much market share in both comptuers sold and gpu's as well. i don't remember if research counted those as full dedicated market as they are a "dedicated memory" GPU or counted them as intergrated as they are on the computer's CPU... :/
Programing, CAD, all that stuff i've done and tested to see what i was interested in. None of it really got to me
keep on doing it though, it will make u realize what is good for you :
Rainmeter. i used to be like u when i was ur age, had soooo many uselss programs that took up too many resources, boot time and slowed things down. I know instal and have registry to set default instal of my programs to a differnt hard drive(not partition; real seperate SATA hard drive)
" Oh wait, Virtual Machines. I don't want to go through the trouble of making extra partitions because I use Windows mainly and allocating some space for another OS I don't use that often is pointless."
most desktop CPU's have virtualization boosters, but i know some don't. I do virtual machines to test, partitioned instal is still superiro WHEN I NEED to ever use a second OS..which is when windows crashes or when i want to "truly" play around(as in linux)
why laptop? it's not the price or thing that matters, its the build and KNOWING what parts are in your comp, knowing you don't have a generic motherbaord but say an ASUS P blah blah blah or ASUS Sabertooth or whatever in there
quality components.
AMD is looking promising as it's widely speculated with 90% on Xbox and almost over half on PS that next consoles will completeley move to AMD for both CPU and GPU , hey AMD did really really good now with heat, and price to performance ratio, something that Intel and Nvidia have problems with at the price that Microsoft and Sony want and while Nvidia and INTEL and other companies have good lower priced parts(like Nvidia 460 or Intel i3 2100 not that this directly relates but is a slight comparisson of abilites of companies) below that Intel and Nvidia have not only a hard time competing but AMD offers lower heat and better support as they will be making both of them
and have experiene with it
even so im still holding off, AMD is a 50/50 right now. Nvidia I don't see any big problems with, but this next kepler and southern islands release may change the tides a bit.
Haha, i was goiing to buy stock in ARM last year as......they are the world's premier maker of small instruction set with great performance to price to watt ratio that is used in most if not all major devices. Intel is trying to gain this market with their new ATOM chip for windows tablet but I have a higher chance of that going down than succedding, you might not like this next part, but due to Apple.
TI
i like that company, they don't try to boast or do all this yeah go go go type of things and just play it classy in all departments and offer a decent chip. Qualcomm's S3 and previous Chips using quasi semi moddified ARM chips were complete failures in performance. i have yet to look into S4 where they promise(like always) better and fixes, i remember seeing performance of one S4 chip i think........*yawn* Samsung is doing good
keep it up..but...there is a lot of corruption and law changing with that company which is sad but needed.
POWERVG by Imagination...yeah...if only they are public i would invest(i don't think they are)
Most people with audio gear like you are lost, ur making it worse as you want a definite 100% get this answer that is always backed..sadly that isn't the case . like jgray and myself..in the end, you just gotta jump.
