I got rid of my crappy Windows 2k Laptop and got this!

This is the Scorpio! I got it for 700$! I can play RYL 2 now!! Yay!

Some info:
OS: Windows XP
Processor: Intel Pentium IIII 280Ghz
HardDrive: 250 GB
Graphics Card: 256 MB Ge-Force 6800
Sound Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum
RAM: 1 GB

Snapshot is not the best in quality but... Here it is:

It's got 5 fans so it doesn't overheat...
Custom Built too, by a real computer geek.
This type of computer is actually the same of even BETTER than the computers that hollywood movie makers use for movies and art.

P.S. If needed, you can move this to Software/Hardware forum...

280ghz!?!?!

Anyway, I've had this computer for about a year and a half now. AMD4000+, 2gigs RAM, GeForce 6600GT and SB Audigy 2 ZS (oh, and 2 150gig HDs). I really want to upgrade my video card, but I'm poor.

Dang-it, those are some amped up computers you guys have.

Yeah, I agree...there's no such thing as a 280ghz CPU. The max a single CPU can handle, at this time, I think, is maybe a strained 4ghz even, but I've heard they have a lot of problems.

In order to get 280ghz you need several dozen CPU chips stacked into some omega-motherboard.

There was one guy who had 64ghz for his PC, but he had a bunch of processing chips in a custom motherboard, and the casing was insane looking. He literally had a fan duck-taped to the darn thing.
