Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

Performance can be better... But I have found, even when my pc was new and I was playing games that were below what my pc could handle, performance wasn't always great. My pc was meant for gaming... Only best buy built it and they suck south facing donkey at... Well everything, especially helping people. Anyways, perhaps we should continue this off topic-ness in It's so quiet?

Then there's gaming. Lots get desktops for it, lots sell desktops for it. Getting a ps3 or xbox... But IMO PC gaming owns console gaming. It's just... better. And a lot of people agree.

Gaming was one of the things I had in mind when I mentioned "heavy lifting".

I guess..

Lemme just say that that there are computers that can run black ops as smooth as any console.

FYI I didnt see Stefans post.

Graphics wise, pc tends to be better... But performance wise, I have found that consoles work a little bit better for that. Games crash more often on pcs than they do on consoles.

For gaming, mouse + keyboard will always beat whatever lumps of **** they sell as console controllers.

So far I haven't seen anything there that would exclude the use of a PC. Plus, on a PC, your performance isn't limited by the previously mentioned lumps.

Exactly. Keyboard is better. You just cant really play a keyboard + mouse on a couch.

I love keyboards and mice for games. Heck if I could play old console games (psx, super nintendo, sega, etc) on my pc, I'd be very happy. Couches her my behind, and they also hurt my back, having good posture in my chair is perfect for me... And there is a bathroom tight behind me, so I can just play games all day and be super happy.

Yea yeah, just saying there are advantages to controllers.

But keyboard/mouse IS better.

I think its safe to just say:

They both have advantages. But PC is better.

I do it on a bed, without any problems. Or mouse pads. I switched from ball to optical many, many years ago.
