Easy as fuck? Those goddamn grip-of-death CPU fan clamps are nightmares. But regardless, the A7V 133 MB I have only (officially) supports chips up to 1.3 Ghz so the point is moot.
However, all in all after doing more asking around about people's scores, I feel better about my computer's rank. The Return to Castle Wolfenstein 25 fps performance was the real hang-up because knowing that it's based on the Quake3 engine and knowing that I was playing 90 fps Quake3 in 1999 on a 700 Mhz TNT2 machine made me expect to run Wolfenstein much better. I'm still not convinced completely. If I put a 2.2 Ghz chip into my computer, that's going to... double performance? That's 50 fps. Still garbage really. We haven't even touched upon AA. Something is wrong.
The good news is that the upgrade test happens tomorrow. I've scratched the MB with a screwdriver as I tried to extract the chip (see above: fan clamp nightmares) so that I could try a 1.4 CPU I have in another computer. I'll be picking up a new MB + CPU tomorrow. Expect more complaining.
Have fun. This is the best part of computers. It's like getting a chance to put the perfect woman together, piece by sensuous piece.
Mmmmmmm. Oh I KNOW you like it when I nmap you there, baby. Now play with those packets for daddy . . . . yeah, just like THAT.
Unf,
