Shuddup you, I was talking to Tinman :evil:

How you come to that?

1024+512+256=1892

Maybe it was a typo?

An extra 256MB on a AMD Turion64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-52 ?
OMG.

Now yeah, maybe he uses a USB stick as extra RAM.

*Edit
Maybe we should split those last posts into a 'TinMan47's weird memory lounge' topic in General.
LOLZ

Yeah, that'd be a great idea!

NOT!

So your computer has 4 processors? Isn't that a bit overkill?

means he has 2 processors each with 2 cores...

Post by **Larry Laffer** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 12:57 pm

Mmm! Quad-core with XP 32x

Which would be like 4 processors

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 9:47 pm

yes but physicaly its only 2 processors each a dual core, neither is a quad core, larry used the term quad core wrongly.

Post by **Larry Laffer** » Sun Jul 29, 2007 1:54 am

2 processors, each dual core, that's quad core(remember, this is Tinman we're talking to)

And yes, it's overkill!

This reminds me I gotta check out them prices on the quad-core persessors!

2 dual cores does not equal a quad core (it does equal 4 cores tho)

quad cores are inferior to dual core processors at single threaded programs.

No Franpa, they are equal if compared to the same clockrate dual and single core procs.
They simply use one core if the software isn't developed with paralellism in mind.

When compared with single thread software to the newest single core systems they will be slower, but that's only because a new single proc system has a much higher clockrate.

Compare them with a single/dual core with the same clock rate and they win (a little).
When benchmarked they usually perform a small bit better, because they are mounted in the newest systems(mobos-fastest RAM, and so on...).

And if I'm wrong, it means I didn't understand what the IT minions from Nixdorf told me.

Let's see what I understand of this stuff... I have a Logitech laser mouse... Logitech speakers... Samtron screen... 114 GT hard disk... and Windows XP. Dunno about the others tuff.

Aw, poor you, you don't have a keyboard?

It must be hard handwriting with your mouse!(since you don't have a microphone either

)

Maybe he uses an onscreen keyboard at the bottom of his screen, ya know, the kind you use with your mouse pointer .
It only increases my respect for him, not easy in use those things.

greencosmos · Post by **greencosmos** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 11:30 am

not at all, I just click the letters on a Window!

Ooh, now I see! There IS a logo there. Yep, Logitech keyboard it is.

Yeah, but you can't make fun of him using that!

Couldn't help noticing that you first tried to cross out those words, but you apparently didn't know how to do it.
Quote my reply and remember it for the next time.

Pffffff, kids .......
