Performance

[K-61]

It's an HP Pavilion dv8120ca. It has an AMD Turion CPU at 2 GHz. It has a lovely 17 inch widescreen, but the graphics card is too weak for even stock SH3, something which I realized to my chagrin only after I had bought it. Thus, the reason why when I replaced it I got a high spec gaming notebook by ASUS. I've replaced CPU's in desktops and servers, but never in a notebook; the only ones I've worked on have been my own. What I replaced was the CPU cooling fan, not the CPU itself.

You've probably already been told, but smoking near a computer is very bad for the machine. I've cleaned smokers' computers and they are absolutely vile inside. All the dust in a chassis in a non-smoker's computer is silver/gray, but a smoker's dust is tarry and brown. I have cleaned my brother's a few times and it is a chore. He doesn't smoke, but he lets his buddies light up in his house and smoke dope, something which I would kill someone for if they tried it in my home.

Yeah I know, so with my latest build I am being careful. When I smoke I try to do so in another room but mostly I just open the door and blow the smoke out to another room though I should try those patches
