3dmark2001: 11721 (currently fastest t-bird athlon under 1.6, 150mhz fsb or less with a ti4400 ) http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6411912

This thing was first built back in 2000, getting upgrades every now and then. Case, motherboard and cpu upgrades are next (antec plusview1000amg, t-bird b 2100+ and an abit nf7 most likely).

0 mph, it really has never moved

[SSJ4 Gogitta]

Well, mine is moving at the speed that the earth rotates, so about 1,000 mph, and moving around the sun at about 67,000 mph, and then around the milky way at 559,234.073 mph.

So my pc is moving pretty fast.

mine generally depends on how high I drop it from.

(dual Athlon 1600s)

This is a friend of mines PC setup:

PIV @ 1.2GHz, PII @ 500MHz, PII @ 550MHz, P MMX @ 233MHz, Connected through a 4-port wired, 2-port wireless 10/100 Router, using a 756K Cable Modem

silly silly
|v(t)| = 8.0665m/s²*t
but we want V(h), so we take
h = -8.0665m/s²*t² +Vot
and solve it for t using the quadratic equation(and for simplicity, we'll use Vo = 0
0 = g*t^2-h = (t+sqrt(h/g))(t-sqrt(h/g))
but t+sqrt(h/g) doesn't provide a real solution(given that it provides a negative time...
so...
|v(h)| = g*sqrt(h/g) = |sqrt(|hg|)|
but that's actually a relative equation. to make it absolute, we have...

v(h) = vo - |sqrt(|hg|)|

go test it. Hold your PC at a height of 10m, and drop it, it's final velocity will be about 10m/s(a little less, like 9.65m/s)

Gravity is 9.8 (9.80665 actually) meters per second per second (m/s²), whcih translates to 32.152134 (32.174174) feet/s².

at a height of 10 meters, traveling at 9.8m/s², It will take about 1.02 seconds to hit the ground. In the extra 0.02 seconds, the object will fall an aditional 0.196 meters (as at the 2nd second, the speed will be 19.6 meters per second)

So after falling 10 meters, the Instantaneous velocity would be about 9.996 meters per second when it hits.

Should bring about 113.4 newtons of force, that is if the pc weighs 25 lbs.

silly SSJ4 Gogitta,

everyone knows that the mass of an object (barring the density of the object is very close to the density of the fluid through which it travels) is non-influential on it's velocity.

Silly s0be, I never used the mass of the object to calculate the velocity. I used it to calculate the force it would have when it hit.

Force (N) = Mass (kg) * Acceleration (m/s)

11.33980925 kg * 9.996 m/s = 113.4 N
