Intel vs. AMD

Wait! You can only get a PSU for a desktop computer. A laptop can have an AC adapter or a bettery but not a PSU. Trust me on this. If your laptop actually has the video power for Doom 3 and Oblivion then you wont have to worry about anything "blowing."

A PSU won't fit in a laptop case or even hook up to the components in the laptop. PSUs have to go directly into the case and don't just sit outside of it.

 

You don't need a PSU for a laptop, the battery is low voltage DC anyway!

 

Just got home from work,totally stuffed!!
this is totally off topic but thought a good laugh does everyone good!!
There's also a bit of wisdom in it.

crowy..HAVE U TRIED THIS YET ? HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO NERO OR DVD DECRYPTER.Sorry caps on..or even copy to dvd..Hate to try this & end up with coasters

 

rick5446,
No haven't used it yet.
I wasn't worried about burning dvd's or cd's,dvd decypter/alcohol/dvd shrink/nero take care of those.What I meant was for anyone with the dollars to buy a blu-ray burner and wanted software to burn the discs this could be worth a look.

 

OK, downloading it now,i'll find something to burn let you know how it goes.

 

crowy,

Well, I got the Prescott up and running. It's only oc'd 5%. It's going to be in a warmer environment and it's replacing a dual PIII Rambus machine so I think he will definately see a difference in speed. Should get the new MB next week. Then I can put my D940 back together. Gonna clock it at 3.71 until I can afford a 600 Watt PS. Plenty fast enough at 3.71. I may not even try to go above that until I get a better MB, early next year. Something with more stages to the power regulation. Don't like solder all over the inside of the case!

Happy Computering,
theone

this package also includes a HP rucksack and a CANON PIXMA MP150 multi function printer for £599.anyone think its worth getting and is the gc a 3d accelerator card?

 

theonejrs,

Never experienced it and don't want too!!
Read some reviews and do some research on psu's.It will save you a headache.
Cant wait to get this new stuff installedStay tuned next week.Just want to hit 3.0ghz stable or not!!!

 

rick5446:
Here's a screenshot of the program:

 

crowy..Keep us posted on it! I'm going to give it a try also,but just on reg Disc's..I've actually found Copy TO DVD better then Nero for burning.Don't know about longivity of Disc though..Don't really know if burning has anything to do with longivity or not,but i do know burning has an important factor in bad sectors

 

OK.It copies what it sees.
Doesn't create dvd's,cd's, what ever.
Only writes to disc what it reads.
By the way to any of the mods...........wheres my senior member status???LOL!!!

 

crowy..U meen it won't create a VIDEO & AUDIO_TS ? But will copy a VIDEO & AUDIO_TS !

 

rick5446,
Thats right!

 

crowy..Does that affect the way DVD Player read the DVD I wonder,as to not writing lead in & lead out

 

The discs created by this program will work on your computer only.Unless its a 1 to 1 copy of a dvd, cd, vcd,or any disc that would usually play in a standalone dvd player.

 

He_man: The CPU is good, the GPU is very poor. For £599 with a printer it's not bad, but games are out.
Crowy: Keep us posted!

 

Well me thinks its a pretty useless piece of software for this day & age.Nice factor is its free ! Hopefully they will add some bells & whistles

 

ok.wonder if its a 3d accelerator card to play mgs2 substance.

edit - i found this about the gc

http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/334/C3442/

from what they say it seems ok and i think it will be able to beat the intel graphics media accelerator 900 by a bit(my previously owned laptop gc)
