Almost two years ago, I made this topic: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/630293-these-computers-dont-make-sense/page-2

Since I've learned alot more about computers, I thought I'd return to this.

What a fool I am.

It turns out the ONLY single component better on the first computer, is the graphics card.

Let me go into higher detail this time:

computer 1#:

Windows XP

2 GB DDR

Low-end Pentium 4 with no HT

integrated Sound Max card

Radeon x300 128 MB

computer 2#:

Windows Vista

4 GB DDR2

AMD Athlon dual-core 5600

7.1 audio card

Nvidia Geforce 6150SE 64 MB

Its just a mind-fuck, that a 4 years older computer has a better graphics card.

I am worthy of any name-calling over my stupidity in my previous thread.

I think that's the first time I've had a thread addressed directly to me...

Participating is rewarding eh

This whole topic reminds me of SNES vs. Genesis. Everything is superior on the SNES, besides the CPU.

Since the topic has been brought up, what exactly does an "attn" do? What about in formal writing?

Edit:
Looking at both computers, I came up with a stupid conclusion:

Bigger VRAM is better.

attn is an abbreviation for "attention." In formal writing, it should not be used. The full word should be used instead.

Bigger VRAM is better, in the case of a 1:1 comparison, I.E. 128 MB DDR vs 64 MB DDR

I try to keep my thread titles short, because I assume it makes people more willing to read them.

I wouldn't call posting here formal writing, so I think you're fine. ;)

Short titles may be ambiguous if there aren't any context provided. In your case, I was only curious as to what you can't grave dig. I also thought you probably misspelled or something, and thought you meant, "Can't dig grave."

You can't reply to threads that have had 60 days since last activity.

"Grave dig" is more uniform across all forums. If I say "dig grave", it sounds more like I'm talking about the real deal.

Regardless I still await feedback from Servant and Hodgman. Common guys I know you've lurked this a couple times.

Well, yeah, we told you
