The computer you mentioned is more powerful than the one you're getting.

Less powerful*
I am not on the ball today.

Triple post for great financial justice.
This computer is stronger than both of your current computers combined, and 150 dollars cheaper. Name brand can suck it.
Don't know about the graphics card though, but if you're using a computer that old and only in ms paint it should be a problem.

He said he wouldn't be using MS paint, but high-end adobe programs.

This forum needs an edit post option...
I'm no tech expert, but from what I understand, when dealing with high quality work, it's the processor that needs power, more so than the graphics card.

Huh. I took a look at that, saw the processor and its really low clock rate and thought: "That doesn't sound very powerful". But apparently its processor can boost itself to be more powerful than the one in the Samsung.

...I don't like how hard it is to tell which piece of hardware is better these days.

Graphics cards basically take over the rendering job for the processor leaving the processor free to take on other tasks. So as long as the card is got better stats than the onboard graphics, then you'll see a bit of a boost of speed. Also graphics cards can give you much more control over your monitor including everything from multiple screens (if supported) to color depth and out put.

I see, so I was wrong. Good thing I have both a good processor and graphics card then.

I used to have a really good graphics card which made up for my shitty processor, but when my motherboard tanked last year, it took my graphics card with it

You typically don't want to overclock your processor, let alone on something that you'd be doing regularly

Lulz in the Marvel universe, pretty smooth, very entertaining.

Hey guys. I haven't been here for a while. I think I might have left behind some obligations here, for that I apologize. I really am. I got accepted into that university I wanted to go to and decided to take arts as my major. (bad idea?) I pretty much been hung up on real life these past few days or months.

So yeah hey guys. Here's a drawing to me coming back. (I'm still tabletless btw) I guess I'm still stuck drawing with a bar of soap.

MadCow calls everything "gay 2/10"
I'm surprised nobody else has noticed it yet.

So Neil Gaiman did the commencement adress at the University of the Arts this year. It's definitely worth giving a watch, or at least a listen.

I think Madcow shouldn't be given any attention from anyone at this forum, as doing so will only add fuel to the fire. He uses words as his weapon, but in reality he doesn't actually inflict any actual damage to anybody. He will move on soon enough once he gets bored.

Next time anyone ever complains about a certain medium not being good for a particular thing, call upon this guy.
The shit he does with wood is nuts. Just goes to show you what patience and skill can really get done.

Those are just awesome, simply awesome.

So, I don't know how many of you guys are heat fanatics, but I finally tried Ghost Chili, that stuff is delicious.

For anyone interested in time lapses, this drawing I made might be fun to watch being created.

Here you go.
