    the more of these I read, the worse I feel :)
    Still, I suppose mine still runs all games that I've tried at a decent resolution/framerate, so it's not all bad :)

    I think were more or less in the same camp Database :p

    As mine only cost 280 quid then Id say mines probably a little more 'bang for your buck' than whats being posted right now
    Clearly Gunjacks a tad behind, but then if the 'average' people posted im sure things would look a lot better for us
    :idea:
  • Talking of average, I don't see any i3 figures, so.............

    Toshiba laptop with i3 M330 @ 2.13ghz
    24.337 seconds

    It does everything I need well enough.

    E6300 with 5% o/c through BIOS + 4GB 1066MHz ram.

    Now looking for something to give the slowest result. :)
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Its only a bit of fun Flossy. Mines a quad core 3.3Ghz processor. I would expect the average user here to get something between 20 and 40

    That said, if you think it 'should' be faster, maybe you have an issue somewhere?

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that

    Its a 500 gig (normal) 7200rpm hard drive, with a small SSD drive built inside, the most frequently used files/sectors are cached into the SSD for super fast access.

    more details on the range here.
    Mines an older 500 gig model, the one linked to is new, but same principle.
