None can.
GTA IV loves a lot of CPU power, laptops can't give a enough.
Looking at dual cores, you'll want something at about 3,6 GHz just to have it play smoothly (Intel C2D)
For quads 2,6GHz is enough I think, but I'm not sure. All I know is that GTA IV just loves quad cores. Laptops simply won't cut it.

If anyone ever wants to play some TF2, just hit me up on MSN.

Great.
Fuck the system.

But please do try iAtkos once. Just so you'll realize how overrated OSX is (and how underrated Windows is).
OSX is over-rated, yes, but that doesn't mean it sucks. Windows under-rated? AHA. Not by a long shot. All sorts of little Microfags want to shout that Vista is the greatest thing to happen since electricity, and how it's the only OS that supports "super computers with 50 gbs of RAM!".... That last part... Actual quote... From Chestnut's computer professor at school. He was aptly nicknamed "Professor Gates".
Running OSX on a PC and trying to use it like a PC wouldn't prove it's over-rated, it would prove you're trying to use it in a way different than how it is used. It's still highly respected by people who do serious digital art. Imaging, music, video, etc.
Also, you find it confusing because you grew up using a PC. A person who grows up with a Mac finds Windows to be absolutely perplexing. Neither of these validates saying either one sucks.
All sorts of other fags that want to shout how horrible Vista is. I haven't read anything negative about OSX and many do live with the idea in their head that OSX is some expensive, elitist, ultra-user-friendly OS, which is obivously isn't.
Again, I have used OSX on a PC. About 80% of all the time I've spent using OSX has in fact been on an iMac. Before I actually used it I had the idea that OSX just isn't my OS of choice, but would be pretty user-friendly, which it simply wasn't. Now that might be because I'm just not used to these machines, but at any rate it just isn't the system 'you'll get to learn within 10 minutes', as Apple loves to claim on their website (or at least used to, can't bother to check if they still have that up there).
Also, you find it confusing because you grew up using a PC. A person who grows up with a Mac finds Windows to be absolutely perplexing.I have to agree though..
Side note: Isn't Linux mainly used for super computers? I'm pretty sure they support 128GB RAM.

Meh, I just used it as I always use a computer, but obviously, I couldn't.
I could get the hang of Ubuntu pretty fast, but OSX just doesn't work for me.
Just used it for about 4 hours though. Tiger, not Leopard, on an iMac. Have had a little bit of Hackintosh experience. It works, sort of.. Pain in the ass to set it up. Dumped it the same day.
But even things like MS Office for Mac seem to be made with 'less is more' in mind, making it just unworkable for me. I'm used to Office 2007 now, and suddenly having to switch to Office for Mac just frustrates me. Productivity is literally about just 10% as what I'd have on my own PC.
Frankly, even my friend didn't know how to actually use it and admitted that it frustrates him quite often. It's his Mac and he's far from a MS fanboy. His PC, something from 2001, was just totally fucked up. His dad is an Apple fanboy and gave him his Mac. He might be an exception though.. he isn't really good with computers at all.
For a short time, I was actually considering to buy my mum a Macbook (as she's a total hazard on any computer.. I expected OSX to be a safe environment, and an easy one for my mum). After my own OSX experience, I quickly sent that plan to the garbage can. I just simply can't imagine being able to work with it.
On the bright side though, I just installed Safari 4.0.2 and I'm pleasantly surprised. I'd even say that I quite like it (while I found some other version I had installed once (no idea which one) to be horrible).
PS: I was using that Mac for some project I had to give in the next day.

Ha where do i beggin hmmm
Windows Vista (Biggest peice of shite ever, to the point MS have to make a new OS so they dont f**k up their image)
Intel (Cos their CPU's run slower than AMD and dont have as much overclocking potential)
phpbb v3.0 as its a bugger for web developers to customise as we want unlike the wonderful IPB.
youtube spazzing up my gameplay video quality and sound sync, 10 mins limit, come on youtube, we put in good quality vids and they come out crap the other end >_>.
(Tip, dont try to be smart about PC's to me i grew up in a computer shop for 10 years that my dad owned, i dont like it when people try to talk down to me about them, i dont know everything obvs im not arrogant
I just had to comment on this...
You state that one doesn't have to act 'smart' about PC's to you, yet you make some extremely weird statements...
Hating Intel because they are SLOWER?! They were like 5 years ago (I think..), but really, these days they're kicking AMD's ass. And surely, if you'd want to OC, an Intel CPU is the thing to get. Though yes, those Phenom II CPU"s OC great too, but let's not forget the Phenom tragedy. Total let down (i7 didn't make me cum though, to be honest.)
Hating Windows Vista? Have you even used it, or are you just following the masses of 14 year olds on the Internet that in their turn copied the opinion of someone else, because migrating to Vista at launch was a pain in the ass for some? SP1 and everything is fine. It's fast, stable and much more user friendly then XP if you ask me. What bothers me more than your initial statement, is actually the line succeeding it: ""to the point [that MS have to develop a new OS]." Great statement... What did you expect? That would implement that any OS that has it's successor within, let's say, five years, sucks. Makes me think Apple sucks donkey balls and the Ubuntu dev team is just fapping away.
Face it, you can't live on forever on XP. You should have upgraded a long time ago, and soon the time will come that we'll have to upgrade again. It's been about 2,5 years now, I don't think we'd even be able to count the amount of releases of Ubuntu on our hands, and when Win 7 comes, Apple will have already released two OS's during the time between Vista and 7.
Point being, I hate negative bias toward Vista. Try it, it's nice.

Isn't Auto Pilot of the 747 about the same as about all the other Boeing? Can't remember it being any different at any rate.
Perhaps you're talking about using deeper features of AP though.. I've never learnt what the hell to do with AP's landing approach feature.

No.
I'm not into tennis, even though I go to matches now and then.
I just want to slam a ball over a court (or table) for a 5 minutes and then I'm done (I'm talking about in games), so yeah..no Virtua Tennis for me.

Lol i dont even think i can enter with my pc, its one i built and i think it might be a bit overpawerd to enter in the shittest pc lmao.
and nor can i enter my pc before that >_>.
Well, whatever, what's your specs anyway?
AMD Phenom X4 II 940 3.0 GHZ overclocked to 3.6GHZ
Nvidia GTX 295
6 gbs of geil black dragon gaming ram 800mhz, 1022 is less stable.
2x sata 250gb HDD's
can't remember what board ive got, the box is in the shop , its one sposerd by the republic of gamers and it an ASUS.
I'm a fanboy yesh, AMD, Nvidia and Asus and Geil, sorry but they are the best makes.
I understand the NVidia and Asus part, but AMD... wake-up, they still can't rival Yorkfields.. Still, I respect AMD fans for actually still sticking to AMD, even at their bad times. Their budget status does bring them down though.. but what else to do when you can't win the performance crown.
Not a fan of GEiL, but they're pretty good. Personally I'd go for Corsair (Dominator, which I've got now) or OCZ (love them, somehow.)
Oh, and by the way.. why are you posting that in a Worst PC thread?
ASUS motherboards are epic fail.Only some of them are quality.lolwut?
They're fucking genius dude! OC as hell, those fuckers, they do.

Is there a Mac OS to be installed on a PC?
Yes. You could possibly try iAtkos. I believe it's in the gray-zone. Not exactly sure if it's illegal. I think it's legal if you'd purchase a license to OSX, to use the iAtkos image.
I've used it and really, really hated it. And that's not because this was a hacked version, I hate OSX on a Mac too, while I was actually having high expectations.
I expected the user-friendliness of an iPod Touch, but got something that was just annoying the shit out of me for hours. Doing any serious work on a Mac has been a burden to me. In fact, even leisure on a Mac sucks for me. It limits me in a trillion ways, doesn't allow me to even use more then 80 percent of the screen and it's a pain in the ass to get things as surround speakers to even work with it.
I used Tiger though, but unless they suddenly had started from scratch and dumped their old system without upping the version number, I expect to be just more of the same...
But please do try iAtkos once. Just so you'll realize how overrated OSX is (and how underrated Windows is).

Isn't a pre-order usually something like 5 to 10 USD/EUR more?
Thought it was, might be wrong.

PARADOX!
Read on. It's just those that drink, but don't actually like drinking and merely do it for the image.

I fucking love this one.
jace 119 up, 47 down(noun): a young man, known for his quirkiness, reluctant to admit he's a good guy. one good at pleasuring da ladies. see: one hot mo-fo
have you ever had a jace? no? then you haven't lived, my friend!
Legal age for fucking in the UK.1. Woohoo! I'm 16! Now I can go and get my brains fucked even more by some guy.
2. Shit, now I can't fuck guys over threatening statutory rape after they fuck my brains out.
3. Woohoo! My girlfriend turned 16 today. Now I can fuck her brains out in front of the cop shop! and give them the finger at the same time! ...Next day: *knock at door* "I'm afraid we're going to have to take you to the station for indecent public behaviour, and for having sex with a minor - she turned 15 yesterday, not 16" ... "Shit, the fucking bitch slut!"
And following the trend

Even though I'd agree, I couldn't help but laugh at Husky's last post. The smiley just.. I dunno.. makes me giggle I guess.

Kids that think drinking alcohol is cool, even though it is.
Just something the popped into my mind. It's just annoying seeing them drink while their agony caused by consuming the drink is practically dripping off their faces.
Reality hurts, too, now and then.

The bottom right one is quite pretty ^.^
Well, apart from the awkward smile though.

Happy birthday from an old friend

Uhm.. read the article and you'll know what they're talking about.
Point is that it's a very, very small receiver.
edit: very stupid mistake...

Not going to pre-order.
Seriously, why the hell pre-order an OS XD. MS is sure to have loads of copies availible.
I'll get it together with a next hardware upgrade, as I'm sure to get the OEM versions, and they do bitch a bit when there are too many hardware changes (and I'm planning to change practically everything that an OS can 'see', so it would be a little stupid to buy it before the hardware.
Home Premium by the way. Well, depends on MS's Europe prices. They were insane last time (550 EUR for a retail ultimate?! They must be joking). If it will be a little more near to those of the US, I might just go get Ultimate. Or perhaps my dad can get me their enterprise edition (are they even having that this time around?).
-
Nothing special. Just that it's a little small for a 20 year old (for some reason thought you were in your twenties (and the 13 part of your name being something like bad luck)).
But yeah, it's fine for a 13 year old. Nothing strange at all. So just ignore my comment

I bought Wii Sports V2. MotionPlus is needed for the new Zelda anyway, so why not pick it up with Resorts.
Pretty darn fun. Table Tennis is awesome and Golf finally works.

Not really...
I've never actually done multiplayer, but I just can't imagine it being any (more) fun than SP.
Or am I wrong?

Wowa! Seven pages filled with a pointless pizza fucking discussion
Sort of weird that he's accepted the title of 'the pizza-fucker' though.. just doesn't seem right.
Which OS is the best?

Still, benchmarks prove it's about as fast as Vista.. It starts up programs a little faster, but the programs aren't being run any faster. Games may just gain 2 fps, no big deal. Really, I don't know why people love 7 so much, but hate Vista..
