looks like I am above low end, almost at high end, except I am on a dual core duo. not a dual core quad.

Although my processor is a higher rating than the quad core, it is still a dual duo.

See I use pc pistop because it is easy small and fast. not a huge detailed benchmarker for my computer I know, but it also isn’t very taxing on my machine. Some benchmark programs can be to much for your pc and break it by over stressing your components. Pcpistop is a light weight low stress test . it’s over in like 2 minutes. I make the score, I look at it, I tweak my machine I benchmark again and see if I got any faster. It’s great, free and easy…

So if you want to see if you are capable of playing the game, bench your machine and post your link to your score.

We are pleased to present today’s launch of the all–new Millionaires Club – recognizing and celebrating all of the wealthy seven–figure Grand Theft Auto IV players at the Rockstar Games Social Club. Millionaire status is determined by totaling all of the money you’ve ever earned in single–player–mode from completing missions, winning races, doing vigilante side–jobs, and fortuitously picking up ‘dropped’ money in the street.

Come and see if you are a bona fide Millionaire, as well as where your single–player time to reach a million compares against all the other nouveaux riche ‘business men’ of Liberty City. If you would like to see just how rich your fellow Millionaires are, you can mouse over each for a quick glimpse of their lifetime single–player money earned. With three leaderboards ranked by who’s become a Millionaire first, who’s done it quickest, and who is the richest in the City. Grand Theft Auto IV Social Club registrants, simply enter the Social Club and click on the GTAIV area to browse to the Millionaire’s Club to see if you’ve earned access.

Multiplayer Leaderboards are in full effect at the Social Club, fully populated with the statistics of Xbox Live® and PLAYSTATION®Network members who have been wreaking havoc with Grand Theft Auto IV online modes. Registrants can access the boards to see who is top dog in any and all of the 13 multiplayer game modes – as well as leaders in overall scoring across all modes. See where you stand in the scheme of Grand Theft Auto IV online maniacs worldwide.

Just one of the many attractions in the works for the Rockstar Social Club, the Viral Infection zombie feature is coming very soon. Let’s see just how far the infection has spread. More information to come.

Looks like it is not complete, if you read deeper in , you will see that allot of items we are used to are not implemented yet.  but there is a nice feature,

Windows developers are able to download previews of KDE applications for their platform. The libraries are relatively stable already, although not all features of kdelibs are available on Windows yet. Some applications already run quite well on Windows, others might not.

Looks like kde4.1 is going to go a long way with the abilities aquired when most of Linux signed deals/peace treaties with Microsoft.
