You know your computer is too fast when...

[roxor]

Okay folks, time to get creative again.

Many of you probably remember my previous thread "You know your computer is too old when...". I thought maybe we could now try the opposite. This topic is probably going to be a little harder.

One to start off with:

You know your computer is too fast when...

You try 10 times to rip a DVD movie before you realize it did it in one second on the first go.

[Proto]

When you try to play Tetris on Nesticle, and nothing seems to happen. When you halt the application you realize you have already loist 110 times.

[Kane]

Your FPS in Quake is displayed as GFPS

[Noxious Ninja]

Your computer is too fast when...

The current version of Windows doesn't feel slow.

[roxor]

Your 3DMark score is recorded as negative due to numerical wraparound.

[elty]

Your computer is submerged into liquid carbin dioxide

when it is not yours :)

[kenmasters1983]

your computer is too fast when it blows up just like mine does LOL its happened 2 times already :lol:

[Kidd]

You know your computer is too fast when you don't even notice the existance of the motorcycle minigame in ff7pc.

[Tori-Yama]

...when you finish Morrowind in 2 h.

[Mr. Killjoy]

When you're not in the real world
When you have to underclock it
When it creates a space-time passage
When the cursor moves b4 you touch the mouse

[Player-X]

When you read this before I typed it

[Kane]

When it starts executing instructions before it recieves them, causing a rift in the space time continuum

[Kaiser Sigma]

Youd suddenly awake and realize that it was just a dream :onthepull

[Player-X]

You suddenly recieve a huge credit card bill

[Exodus]

when you don't have that feeling that you need to upgrade
and
that in the next 2 days your computer won't become obsolete.

[Betamax]

you use the "turbo" button (remember them :p) as a decelerator rather than an accelerator. ;)

[Carnage]

when you run doom3 with maximum settings on and the fps= 200

[Boltzmann]

When you can run Halo on more than 60 FPS... constantly :p

[Mako Eyes]

When you can run FFXI at 60, while listening to MP3s, downloading 5 files from kazaa with the supernode function enabled, chatting with 5 different IMs, while making a DVD image . . . all while you compile your new super-huge RPG.

what? did I go too far? :P

[N1ghtw0lf]

when playing a game without vsync you have a seizure or an orgasm...(because of the speed :p)

[Serath]

You know your computer is too fast when Pixar asks to borrow it for their next movie.

Or maybe this one

...when it hasn't become obsolete yet o.O

[GSDragoon]

When you can run FFXI at 60, while listening to MP3s, downloading 5 files from kazaa with the supernode function enabled, chatting with 5 different IMs, while making a DVD image . . . all while you compile your new super-huge RPG.

what? did I go too far? :P

Why do you need to do anything else when you have FFXI? Not to be a smart ass, but you can't have FFXI leave the focus or else it quits on you. Part of their anti-cheating methods.


Sorry, i'm really obsessed with FFXI.

When you can run PlanetSide above 10 fps in a huge zerg fight.

When your comp is fast enough to be a FFXI server, which will exceed 10000000000000 users pretty soon. (Sorry, I just think FFXI is that good.)

When you don't notice a difference between Winamp2 and 3 in terms of performance.

When you can run PCSX2 at it's current state at 60fps.

When it's so fast that it produces heat we cannot cool and blows up.

[Mr. Killjoy]

When compressing a 2gb folder is as fast as creating a shortcut

[hushypushy]

chill out GSdragoon it was just a joke...unless you want me to ridicule you because i doubt 10,000,000,000,000 (10 trillion) people own FFXI.

anyway you know your computer is fast when you are worrying about the year 10,000 rollover glitch :p

[Syed Fawad]

When using a PS2 emulator and GT3 feels faster than NFS HP2 :p

[Cylinder]

10 trillion users? lol!!! Like Square needs that kinda cash, there isnt that many windows users... you need to subtract about 6 0's from that and even then you would be hoping for alot.

to fast when..

..folding @ home solves all diseases in an hour.

[GSDragoon]

chill out GSdragoon it was just a joke...unless you want me to ridicule you because i doubt 10,000,000,000,000 (10 trillion) people own FFXI.

Chill out? I'm just messing around too. It's that I love FFXI that much, and think the game is that good.

[hushypushy]

[Esturk]

Ok guys.. Play nice. :)

Too fast? There's nothing as "too fast" or "too much" when it comes to computers.

[bcrew1375]

You know your computer is too fast when:

You tap a key and get a keyboard buffer overflow.
