Intel vs. AMD

Really? Oh, I have some, but no more than before, firefox takes care of most of them for me.

 

ok guys, should i TRY and get the Spectra and the X850XT 512mg or just get the 1900XT?

birthday is in 9 days, and the reason it said i am low on memory, is because my video card is turbo cache, so it takes 256mg from me..

 

well what about laptops. i have an intel one atm but planning on buying a new one.But am concerned about Amd getting heated too soon as it would be on for days together.also the city i live in , we have hot summers here for 5 months, so that will only add to the problem. Any opinions about whether i should go for an intel again or amd??

 

@ddp,
LOL!! Didn't realize the size of it !!
Job done.

 

emptiness,

I just got done spending a week using a new Dell Latitude D820 with a dual core 2400 "Yonah" CPU. Didn't have any heating problems with it. Where I live in So. Cal. it's been 100 to 106F lately. Even with AC it still gets warm inside sometimes. I prefer Dell Laditude laptops. They are very rugged. I can't say the same for their Inspirons! I have an old 1GHz P3 Dell Latitude C610 that I won't part with. There are newer and more advanced laptops these days but I don't see myself running out and buying a new one very soon. Besides, I'm not real fond of most of the current crop of laptops, and for the life of me I don't understand why the shiny screens? As near as I can see it makes for a brighter screen that you can see annoying reflections in, which makes the brighter screen useless because when the light reflects off of it you can't see the screen! I also don't care about weight, I care about it being able to take normal abuse. Some of the slim widescreen ones out now are so flimsey that they flex if you pick them up wrong. Dell also has the best laptop keyboard in my opinion.

I know they banned Dell laptops on the airlines, but that's a battery problem, not the fault of the computer. They will get it right! They always do!

Happy Computering,

LOL yep but what an insult, not allowed on aircraft! I must say, nice as the screen on a sony vaio looked, I think the normal LCD on our HP is better.

 

Sam,

I couldn't agree more. All those shiney screens look good except in a moving environment. There reflections are more than annoying, they are irritating. I think the color depth while not quite as bright,is not quite as good on the shiney screens. My 5 year old Dell 14.1" screen looks better, at least to my eyes!

In a dark room without much other lighting, the vaio screen would run rings around the hp in multimedia, but in most conditions that is indeed the case. If only it had more RAM though, 256MB is ghastly.

Ooh that reminds me, on almost all computers I've used, once in windows the memory usage is around 300M, which of course is quite large, yet on the school computers and one of the laptops at work, the page file is only about 100M when ready to go. How is that done? There aren't many applications I use in addition to the other PCs to get 300M, it goes up to 500 when they're open!

 

Hum.. thats weird because, the school computers have crap running in the background to.. problably more.. More RAM maby.. maby i misunderstood. seems to me like you just have a lot of probes and stuff running On your computer.. POST NERD PORN. . wheres the pictures everyone??? LMAO

Have fun,

Nah, there's very little difference, and the amount of RAM they have is irrelevant, this is how much is USED. Our 256MB laptop never uses under 320, so it's always paging, and therefore slow, yet a 512MB laptop at work only uses 92MB in windows. This system uses about 400.

 

now u have me wondering, because in just this and media player, i am using 307 pg files.. ? i thought if you have a gig or so.. u don't have to worry about that, unless you are in application intensive games.

 

That's correct, but our laptop only has 256MB RAM, so a page file that large is a problem!

 

so what is my problemb?
any ideas?
anything i can try?
my dad has a fresh versoin of windows in his desk?
could my op just be running slow?
or is it because of the video card?

 

In games that system will crawl due to the very slow video card, but in windows it should run quite well.

 

what system will crawl?
and on the back of my ps i have a swich thing, which one should it be at? what should it show?
and the one in this is a 450W and you can see the specs on my pictures..

 

If you're in america then 100-110V, never 200-240! If you're in europe then maybe, but not in the US. Your system will crawl with a 6200, they're not exactly the epitomy of speed.

 

it is set to 115v i have not changed it.. would it fry me system or somthing if i changed it?

AABBDDCC?? wheres andreia

 

May not fry, but it certainly wouldn't work. However, if you set 100V where I live you would fry a system.

 

Y?
