Quote from dougie-lampkin :Please learn to read. A laptop worth less than $500 (~£150) will not play LFS at more than 15 FPS.

do you even read what you write yourself?!

500 usd is 270gbp, check google, ffs, it was a 5 second search

you don't even try dougie!

i don't care about whatever else you've written, you don't put any effort to write something correct, why should we put effort to read your nonsense?

if it was just you spewing idiocy all over the place, it would be fine, for anyone, but this guy who doesn't know a lot will read your advice and be quite possibly misguided.

xbox has a gfx card.

Quote from TiJay :Nah, my Eee doesn't run LFS well enough. It's a 701 but I don't think any of them have faster processors anyway. Best bet would be some kind of Dell with a Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM and at least an Intel X1300.

oh
good, then.

it has 256MB of which 32 is reserved to the XMB.

cellphones have more ram than that.

little guy, you will not learn and that is something that you yourself has said, not me. from what i understand from your comments about multitasking, you know nothing, but only what you see on your screen and that... is not what you need to know when talking about this matter. combine that with your inability to learn new things and you have someone who does not know what he is talking about nor will ever learn.

the ps3 has the capability that it had when it was launched. a crippled cell with a tweaked 7800. we've gone past that for at least 2 years.

games that launch next year, i will still be able to play in my pc. they will look way better than what the ps3 games will look. because with better graphics you need better hardware. on the pc, you have it. on the ps3 you don't. and yeah, you can still play recent games quite well on pc hardware that was bought 3 years ago.

(your cheap shots about not reading your posts fall off the mark. you on the other hand have said, quite clearly, that you do not want to learn anything new)

Quote from dougie-lampkin :And do you realise that that's well over €1000 worth of machinery? Only to need to be replaced in 6 months to a year? Is anyone reading my main freakin point?

your 'main point' is wrong. but since you can't grasp its significance i'll just let it.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :lovely multi-tasking, by basically allowing you to access the XMB from in-game. Epic win.

wow. you mean... you can pause a game? wow.
also, unless you can start another game while already running a game, that isn't multitasking. looks like multitasking, but multitasking is something more than taskswitching. (for those who know more about this... yeah i did not analyze it as much as i can.)

Quote from dougie-lampkin : Computers can multi-task more, but that's solely a software thing. The PS3 is octo-core, and would (if Sony got off their lazy ass and actually fixed the new patch!) pwn a PC at multi-tasking.

a software thing? wait a minute... you will say now that you haven't read a lot about multitasking. Yet you go on making comments about things that you do not know about. In fact you confused multitasking with something else. but that's ok, you will make assumptions that are wrong and at the same time say that you don't 'need' to learn more.

multitasking a software thing? well, maybe. you also need, not a lot, but specific hardware though. If you don't have that hardware you can still multitask, but you wouldn't want that. as an example of wrong multitasking, look at macos 9 (not an example of multitasking done without the hardware i was talking about, just an example of bad multitasking. cooperative.)

Quote from dougie-lampkin : Yes, I've said it probably won't last 10 years, but that's Sony's statement. But at the moment, as a year and a half year old machine (even older, it was released in Japan in 2006!), for the price it is, it is better at gaming than a PC. If you find a PC that cost €600 a year and a half ago, put it up against the PS3. Epic fail in progress

Right. well, see, that is where your error shows: since the ps3 is stuck to performance was top (2 years ago), you try to compare it with pc hardware of that same age. which is wrong. The pc is not stuck to then.

the 600 ps3 that you bought then, is what-you-see. you can't upgrade it. (and you will want to upgrade it because... hell... there's only so much a 7800 can do...) a 600 pc that you bought then, can be upgraded. you can add stuff. you can sell stuff and buy new stuff. if you don't do that, then you treat your pc like a console, and that means sacrificing a lot of flexibility.

Quote from Mazz4200 :You can see why some folk say todays F1 is a bit tame by comparison

and they would be off the mark, because then they didn't have to sustain 6g at bends or 5g when braking

now, do the two of you understand why i called such calculations 'weird' ?

lol

a good measure is HP per liter of fuel CONSUMED.

f1 engines are tEH BESTEST in that area, at least for n.a. engines

it appears that what seems logical to you is not actually logical. i am not going to take your hand and show you around about what is being done with graphics.

look at the graphics of gears of war, MGS. see that? that's what you're stuck with. for ten years.

remember when ps2 was released in 2000? go play a game now, on the ps2... great graphics, right?

see a game on the ps3 now? imagine what the ps3's graphics will look like in 5 years from now... not 10, just 5...

Quote from dougie-lampkin :I couldn't give a toss what's in the PS3. Find me a PC that's got an actual guarantee to play every single game released for the next 10 years at maximum graphics level.

um
you can say that for every console that exists. a gameboy plays all games ever released for the game boy and only those. that doesn't mean anything more. all games for the game boy are 'maximum' graphics. the level of graphics that the ps3 can output today, is not what my pc can output today. your console is stuck to whenever it was released.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :PS3 looks the same, if not better than most of the dual-platform games. Plus there's no setting up and fiddling with options, and driver worries, and everything else that deters from the actual gaming.

well... yeah. but it has other issues. for instance... fewer games. can't stick stuff to it. can't tweak it. etc.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :Enjoy your system that'll be obsolete in 6 months.

i can play every game released, ever since computers were created, and games for all consoles, including the ps2.

my pc is more than a year old and if i want to play any game that is cutting edge NOW, all i have to do is sell my GPU for 50 euros, buy a new one and bingo. if i do not want to pay, i can still play Crysis. well, i might have to turn off AA! the horror...

you, on the other hand, have to give another 600 euros.
or do you think that the ps3 will magicaly get more processing power when games (for the pc) start coming out next year?

Quote from dougie-lampkin :I'll continue enjoying mine that will still be playing top of the range games in 10 years time

um. no. you won't be playing top of the range games. you will be running only what the ps3 is able to run. nothing more nothing less.

Quote from dougie-lampkin : Although, from someone still in love with the gameboy (what's that, 160x144 res?) what would you expect? Next you'll be telling us how Paper Boy on the Sinclair Spectrum is the pinnacle of modern gaming :rolleyes:

... wow. what an argument.

you say that the gameboy... is stuck to 160x144. think about it. it's the same thing with your ps3.
it was released when it was released, and the maximum it supports is 1080p.

a couple years in the future, when we will have gone to, i dunno... 2160pxyz or whatever, you will be STUCK with 1080p.


but yeah, you can enjoy your ps3. i can enjoy my pc. at the moment i am downloading music, a movie, i am browsing lfs forums and a dozen other sites, chatting with friends online... oh and... look at that... i have stalker in the background! brb... game...

they could make more than 180bhp, it's just that that era's tyres couldn't handle it.

dude... the gpu it has, isn't even considered to exist, any more... it's two generations back.
i don't 'hate' it, as i don't hate my gameboy, for example. in fact, i love my gameboy.

that's the point of 'better brakes' in general, isn't it? i have noticed that if i go about braking with my lancia, really hard, after a while it doesn't feel to be up to the job.

yeah, it would appear that i answered my own question, but it isn't that way.
besides. a 2.6 wankel is actually a 5.2 engine. you can think of it as a two-stroke.

the 4870 puses more than a ****ing teraflop! are you out of your minds? the ps3 is already outdated. a gpu that costs 70 euros (the 3850) can play gears of war at 1280x1024 at 40fps! SEVENTY EUROS! (i'm referring to dougie.)

enjoy your 7800-based ps3 graphics, dougie. lol.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :PS3 is guaranteed to play every new game over it's lifetime, which has been stated as 10 years by Sony.

uuhhh...

...


you... do realize... that this means that for the 10 years that this machine will exist, its graphics will always be as good as they are... now. right?

and, right now, a moderate pc has way better graphics than the ps3. plus, the ps3's graphics can't get any better. the pc's graphics constantly get better.
