80x86 is Intel's 32 bit assembly language instruction set it doesn't actually mean "32 bit".

In general for most people, it would make sense to just call it '32-bit', so I did.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-32It doesn't actually mean "32-bit". However, the point is Luke has (hopefully) heard of 32-bit, and so he'd be surprised to learn that x86-32 is the assembly language instruction set for 32-bit. In other words, if you're saying you don't know x86 or x64 existed, you don't know 32-bit or 64-bit existed....And that's pretty scary. xD

Woot I got a beastly HP Laptop. This thing will rock your socks off like you wouldnt believe.
What this beast has got under the hood: A screaming Intel Pentium Dual T2300 with an outstanding clock speed of 2.3ghz. Next its got a beastly 4gb of DDR2 RAM at a monstrous 800mhz bus. Now this is just straight up unheard of these days, but a 320gb 5400rpm hard drive that tears up the floor with its awesomeness. And last but certainly not least, an outstanding, marvelous, media power-house known as the Intel 4500M chip set. Which means its power comes straight from the CPU. And takes a max amount of 1800mb of ram for vram!
You're all jealous.
SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!

Also 16Gbs of RAM is pointless. I bet you'll never use more than 6. You're also greatly slowing down your computer for no good reason having to address all that memory.

Well its going to be used for gaming that's why I got all that RAM. The computer I have now has 6 gigs and its almost full. And do you recommend a different graphics card for the monitors? I'm open to suggestions.
