    I know, I've got a quad-core to prevent me waiting for hours when compiling bigger VHDL projects. But unless the next version of the compiler has CUDA support, my GPU is useless. I only use CAD software like AutoCAD, Multiphysics and SolidWorks every now and then, so luckily I don't have to take large amounts of memory in account. But why would they suggest getting a laptop for such work anyway?

    If they we're thinking of buying a laptop with similar capabilities, that would be freaking expensive... Laptops aren't build for that (yet).

    was funny i was drooling over that same motherboard from asus in compusa today.

    I rock one of those h100 corsair coolers and maintain 29 celsius on a 6 core o'c to 3.9Ghz. I believe I don't have the speed on it maxed either..

    It's from his work but he's getting a GTX680 instead of using onboard video. Your argument is invalid.

    So it turns out this was a pretty bad idea having my work buy me this PC. My boss's boss found out about how it is a gaming rig, and they've decided to terminate my employment. (and they took the PC back)

    Worst part is, i parted/sold my old PC so now i'm without a gaming rig. FML.

    I'll still be somewhat active on the forums but i wont be on ps2 in the foreseeable future.

    April fools.
