    Thought I'd add a picture of the 3dMark06 score.

    My desktop scored just a little bit higher at 5368. I didn't get a screenshot of that because I didn't think of it lol

    hehe

    I'm finding the T5550 pretty speedy really. Only thing this computer needs I think is a reload with Vista that isn't so bloated. All the software Asus loaded on here sure doesn't help.

    I just picked up a new laptop on the weekend. I had been thinking of a new laptop for a long time, and finally I decided to make the jump and did it.

    It's an ASUS F8Sn-D1. Specs are:

    Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 1.83GHz

    3GB DDR II 667

    250GB HDD

    nVidia Geforce 9500M GS

    14.1" WXGA Glossy

    Webcam in the display

    Wireless G

    DVD Super Multi Burner

    Windows Vista Home Premium

    It came with a small USB pocket mouse and a carrying case.

    I'll try and get some more pics up of it later on. I don't have the time to use the computer that much, but when I can use it, it's so much fun hehe

    The battery life is great. I get about 3 hours run time, which is pretty good in my opinion. And Doom3 runs perfectly on it ^_^

    XFX Geforce 8600GTS xXx Edition

    Hey guys, today I went to a local PC retailer and they happened to have this card on clearance. 76 bucks :blink: so I thought I'd get it and throw it in my PC, my brother has the 8600GTS and the heatsink is whisper quiet even with a fan. The 7300 I had was very noisy so that was a main point for me. Especially considering I paid 76 bucks for the 7300 less than a year ago :angry:

    Threw it in, and boy what a dream. Nice and quiet, fast and does what I need it to do. I'm going to throw Vista on here tonight and see what my score is, heavily anticipating it :D

    Starting a new job on Monday :)

    Hey guys, just wanted to say a few things. First off, sorry for not being too active here lately. I been tied up with my schooling a lot lately. I just finished high school, so I'm thrilled about that, and then on top of that, I have been hired on to the company I just finished my co-op with.

    So I'm hoping that now I'm done high school I can start spending a bit more time here as I won't have to worry about homework as much now. Just the odd bit of paper work :)

    I start my new job on Monday. I've chosen to go into the HVAC work force, with my co-op experience I know it's for me.

    So yah, I just wanted to let you guys know about my absence lately and why it's been that way. Don't worry as I haven't forgotten about good ol' WinCert :)

    The next couple of days I have off, so I'll be lurking on the boards quite a bit :)

    Roller Coaster Tycoon

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a trainer program for Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 (1.08.183). The TRGSak program I keep finding does not work with this version.

    Anyway, if anyone has a trainer for this game that works on this version, please let me know.

    Thanks!

    New Hard Drive

    Only 100gb? It's a laptop hard drive mate :)

    I didn't buy it for the size, bought it for the speed. My desktop is where I have the storage. 500gb SATA HDD, and in a drive enclosure my other 500GB SATA HDD :)

    I decided it was time to get a faster hard drive for my Toshiba laptop, and man was I right hehe

    So I decided to get the Seagate Momentus SATA 100GB 7200.1. 7200 RPM. I think it's SATA I.

    The system boots faster and installs stuff faster. For 80 bucks, it was a steal. It's also whisper quiet, which I like. Nothing I like more than a quiet running PC.

    I'd definitely recommend this drive to anyone looking for a new laptop HDD.

    Now just to find something to do with my old 80gb HDD :rolleyes:

    We're back online!
