Current situation-

---Voodoo4-------||-----------Crappy processor
-----------------||---------------------------
Rasterisation----||---------------game loop
-----------------||---------transform and lighting
-----------------||-------------------AI
-----------------||---------------other stuff

Situation I want -

------Geforce 3--------||--------crappy processor
-----------------------||------------------------
----rasterisation------||-----------game loop
Transform & lighting---||--------------AI
-----------------------||----------other stuff

in this situation the balance is more equal. the work is better shared between the two processors (as opposed to the situation now - the cpu is doing nearly all the work.

situation you want -

------Geforce 3--------||----crappy processor--------Me
-----------------------||---------------------||-----__
----rasterisation------||-------game loop-----||Empty wallet
Transform & lighting || AI---------||-Fried brain
-----------------------||------other stuff----||

Or

------Geforce 3---||-----------crappy processor
------------------||---------------------------
---In the garden--||---on fire. along with rest of computer

[-peep-]! I just previewed and it got rid of all my bloody spaces! now the 'graphic' is messed up. I've put dashes in to correct. this post took far longer than I first thought it would!

Previewed it again - the font is not fixed width! so it still looks messed up. fancy having a fixed width message entry box for a non-fixed width message board.

(nice - it peeped my profanity) Hello, it's me again. Tearing my hear out now.

In the third table where it reads "crappy processor" it should read "new processor and motherboard". I cut and paste, and forgot to change.

click,click,click,click,clunk,slide,BANG!,thud.
