Defragmenting

you've obviously never played an iPad or iPhone then. The graphics on them are truly outstanding.

Have you played MW2 on iPad or iPhone?

No disrespect intended mate, I'm just sayin that a graphics card wins.

I really need to get a quadcore mobo that supports a couple sli cards and more memory. Usin a dual core 2.2 ghz with a radeon 9550 and 1gb RAM

lol well that is a desktop machine, isn't it?

here's some iPad games:















obviously in a unit so small you'll never equal desktop graphics. But those are pretty darn impressive, and the gaming experience on them is ace: holding the unit in your hand like that is great, especially for driving games.

Reminiscent of PS2, it's not bad but I prefer a keyboard and mouse, or a 360 controller.

Nice screenshots

I've derailed this thread totally.

I was just saying it's nice not to worry about defragging etc

For the fully immersive 3D gaming experience, you need totally a PC, good monitor, graphics card etc. A handheld unit could never replace that.

No worries I don't care if it's de-railed lol. It's all a matter of preference. You don't even really have to defrag on a pc really, like further up I think it was DK that said he's never done it. It just re-arranges all the files so that they can be accessed faster.

Eventually they will equal if not rival desktops graphics I'm sure. I do know that with the right hardware you can't get better graphics on anything even a modern console as of right now.

this is one of things that the Mac is so good at. Macs write to HDs in a completely different manner to windows machines which negates the need for defragmenting. Like you say tho, it's not normally needed, unless you're writing and deleting lots of large files from your computer regularly.

Its possible, the graphics capabilities certainly might get up there. The biggest advantage of a desktop is the screen though... but judging by the progression of Apple's handhelds, that may no longer be an issue...

Look at the psp. Graphics that rival the ps2 on something the size of a GBA lol!

[edgray]

the iPhone 4 certainly took handheld graphics into a new dimension with the massive resolution of the small screen. Still, not going to beat a nice 27" widescreen for 3D games.

I've never even seen an Ipad in person lol.
