[QUOTE="ConcreteBuddha, post: 208280, member: 3139"] If you had a superconductor for a power cord, your computer would use power more efficiently. This efficiency AND the higher clock speed AND all other factors add together to equal the natural enhancement bonus. You already assumed that "higher clock speed = natural enhancement bonus" and thus "damage potential = natural enhancement bonus." I am saying that a natural enhancement bonus comes from enhancing all of the parts of the computer. If you stuck your 1.6 GHz on a 5 inch. monitor with no speakers, a copper wire for a power cord and a Atari controller, it's going to suck compared to a fully upgraded, top-of-the-line model, with a G-Force 4, Audigy, 21" Monitor, awesome speakers, optical mouse, heat sinks and the best programs to date. With this in mind, a regular old spear with a steel head and a wooden shaft is your 486 with an nVidia I. A wooden shafted spear with an adamantine head is your 1.6 GHz with the same nVidia I. Would you seriously like to contend that this is as good of a computer as a 1.6 with a GForce IV? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
