This person at my sister's toontown forums said this (on their PC specs)

"I have more! I have Intel Pentuim 5 Proccesor, 12 ghz, I have 105 gig of ram, 55 Terybites of disk space, my video card is a Radeon 9800 (best you can get), 3 disk drives, and I got mine at a store for only about 5000 bucks. I also have verizon Fios for my internet connection (best in the world internet), it does about 750 mb per second."

WTF? I just sort of started laughing out loud after this. This kid spelled terabytes terybites. LMAO
Apparently, I'm a sig violator. I feel honored. Oops.

So are you.

Thing is, you can't ever take the obvious for granted, given some of the folks that frequent this place.

105GB of ram? Is that 1 106GB stick or 2 52.5GB sticks?

Apples suck at graphics too. Any good designer for Dell uses a PeeCee.

Gee, no Radeon X1800? Too bad.

Even so, if they insist on Intel, a Pentium M 6 GHz would still outrun their desktop processor

If I could get something that fast I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Then probably go hit up the torrent sites and find OS X x86 that's floating around and have a jolly romp.
