    I don't know, alt-tabbing out of Solitare and Mine Sweeper has always been snappy for me, and I have never run a dual core machine.

    That actually worked for me. I stuck my brother on the P3 to play games which stopped him eating up all my bandwidth.

    Or, you could use *both* cores and play a six-dimensional game!

    Makes sense to Atari anyway...

    I'm waiting for the M1911, it should perform much better in FPS games. ;-)

    If Im purchasing a $4,000 laptop, it surely won't be from Dell. I'd buy Alienware long before I ever even considered Dell.

    I think any machine that is going to run Windows should come with an additional processor dedicated to continual virus detection.

    I salute you, sir, for creating a new unit of measurement!

    Fuckton ( Pronunciation: 'f&k 't&n)
    Abbr.: FkT
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Slashdot.org, 4/19/2006, FlameboyC11)
    1. A large measure of something, bigger than a metric assload.

    Usage:
    "With a fuckton of ram, most of the programs you're running won't get paged as the game soaks up ram, so they're just as responsive as they were before you started up Quake4."

    Its not really a new unit, it has actually been around for a while, basically it breaks down as follows:

    Fuckton > Shitton > Fuckload > Shitload > Grip

    Fuckton > Shitton > Fuckload > Shitload > Grip

    Out of curiosity, where do "bitchload" and "assload" fit in? I have deabted with several friends before as to whether or not either or both are larger than a shitload. Maybe its just a unit thing and its like comparing a metric tonne with a ton.

    bitchload = fuckload
    assload = shitload

    one stop to the bowl should be larger than one round of fucking so: shitload > fuckload

    Shit should be denser than cum so (assuming the shit isn't liquidic): shitton > fuckton
