[TheGeek]

My name is TheGeek.

My background is in AI and computing logic and math which I studied at uni. I have no particular interest in bots to be honest. Might pick one up though, never know.

I'm a systems tech and trainer, I also own a small (struggling) software company and live in Scotland.

I come from a background coding in Java, C, C++, PROLOG and even some C#. Currently dinking with Obj C and IOS and some uninteresting android stuff.

Finally, after a bit of prodding, you come out of the shadows....

See? We don't bite! (yet...)

Post away!

[TheGeek]

I'm a shy guy lol.

I see a lot of bot lovers in here so may learn a bit as it's never really been my deal. May also get the chance to pass on a bit as well mind.

So Geek, are you much into hardware, build your own computers?

Just interested.   

[TheGeek]

Yeah when i get yhe chance. My latest is a 6core AMD triple monitored 16gb RAM beast lol.

Nice rig 

Windows 7 or 8?

Post us your WEI if you can, would like to see how an AMD compares to an Intel rig these days. 

Just for fun.

Ubuntu :-P also win7 for working purposes hmph. My main issue wit it os that i cant put macos x onto an AMD

My WEI is 4.6 dragged down by my GFX. My memory hits 7.4 and my processor also 7.4.

Thanks for that Geek 

7.4 for the CPU and RAM isn't too shabby, it's the same score as my last Intel Q9400 quad core.

Me I'm a bit of a hardware geek and like tweaking the components in my rig, I recently got an i5 "3350p" CPU, (£130) the new one that doesn't have any onboard graphics, also got a nice new motherboard, (£70) a Z77 chipset for Ivy Bridge, I was hoping to max out the windows 7 scores but didn't quite make it for the CPU.

I know you can't read too much into the WEI scores but just for fun and of course bragging rights ...

I too like to tinker. When the bank and the wife agree it's acceptable. I plan on swapping out ky MB for one with dual PCIe 16x and replacing my two different gfx cards with 2 matching better ones. But for now it crunches code plays games and 3D models fine.

My recent splurge was an alienware m14x with an i7 6GB ram and 2gb graphics memory. So I'm content for now.

Geek

[Freddy]

One of these ?

I would be content too, it's been years since I spent that much on hardware, but that is a nice beast 

So Dell bought up Alienware then ?

[TheGeek]

Yup that's the guy. I"m hoping I can pass it off as a busoness expense lol. I wemt for an upgrade on the processor and graphics. I dare say i will pish up the ram and maybe go for an ssd.
