It's very clever the way it detects wether you are trying to txt speak
or discussing bolt sizes.
Hello m8 (I'm too gay and stupid to spell mate)

Could I have some m8 bolts please.

See what I mean.

Yuck!

But it will probably do what you want it to, despite being AMD junk...

They seemed to lose their way ages ago.  But then any modern PC is fast enough for most tasks :)

Still, AMD are looking a bit dire financially. AMD own ATI.  Saying that, nVidia are not looking good - lost something like $150m in the last quarter :o

i only went for an AMD as somebody recommended them, at least its dual core which hopefully will help it chug along plus its got a warranty, just hoping the bloody fairy lights on it are turn offable :D, out of interests sake TB what would have been my best bet processor wise?
