MARTIN!!!! come over here fix my truck

You broke your truck already

And if you want a mechanic, you get both Martin and I. Cost ya double

monk3y wrote in post #12047684
yeah? and I thought you're poor hahaha


seriously, that's the main reason why a lot of people sold their expy here for cheap..nobody wants to buy them due to the consumption

gasoline here already costs about $1.5/liter

YOu can actually see a huge difference on the highway. I get between 8-10 MPG around town. the interstate is a differnt ball game.
60 MPH= 19 MPG ( down hill)
70 MPH= 16 MPH
80 MPH= 14MPG
bout 100 MPH= about 6 MPG but great time and people really move out of the way

Well here is my hard drive logic.
The 128gig SSD is only 100 more bucks from apple.
I can get the 750gb 7200 for about 60 bucks and the optic bay adapter is 90 bucks.
It is cheaper to get them both in there if I let Apple sell the the SSD.

Dang, 11,000 from a laptop. Thats crazy,
how many FPS?

yeap crazy indeed... JD has 12800++ on his rig, and Kenji has 12600++

I currently have 3400++...

My current desktop is putting out about 3400 -- so dont feel bad. It also has a FPS rate of 31.8

My only concern is that 128gb is very small. I know it will be used for programs only but it's still will fill up in time. Only you would know but the logic is good if 128 is enough for you. You have the right plan for the rest of it.

You know the counter strike source for Mac doesn't give me the ability to bench the fps. The menu is a bit different than kenjis. So I'm not sure but I know I won't be able to run the high graphic games that the pc rigs here will because the GPU's these guy are running are much more powerful.

Is that a negative? Depends? I'm not much of a pc gamer so it doesn't matter. It's all about image processing and video editing which this thing murders! Imagine 11,000 geek in a laptop. People have that in desktop rigs!

Chrysler has claimed 'Hemi' as their own. The actual hemispherical cylinder design is used by everyone, but only Chrysler hangs onto the name.

hahaha damn 6MPG??
100MPH = 160km, I reached that speed 3 days after I got the new car, I dunno if its a good idea or not

I think my current suv consumes about 10km/Liter I am not sure how it translates to MPG

Maybe you should just grin and shake your head for the rest of the night

i was thinking the same thing, it will make that ford run good and reliable

Thanks Mel. I told mayra about it and shes into it

Would definitely be a ride I would need to work up too. I can ride all day on trails but riding on pavement/cement kills my knees. I would love to be able to buy another bike for road riding. Something that can handle gravel roads but is set up more for speed. My current bike is great off the road.
