KiNgBrAdLeY7: and my toaster/potato GPU!
Ummm.... Wouldn't the older 8-bit computers be considered a toaster/potato computers?
Last year or so I've heard multiple times that '
this game will run on your toaster' etc etc. But in comparison they are still talking about recent computer buys with 2Ghz processors, duo or quad core systems.
Somehow I'm starting to find it offensive when people say '
this could run on a toaster', when in fact a toaster has literally 0 Hz in processing power, 0 ram and 1 condition based on heat if/when it should act, not reprogrammable, and has 1 purpose only compared to a computer.
I think everyone should get an old Atari/Apple emulator and pull up some of the really old programs and games and see how fast they run, and familiarize yourself again, and realize how good improved everything is to a '
toaster/potato' computer.
