How good are the Geforce 8 series laptop graphics cards for gaming. I am planning on getting a laptop that has a 8600 in it. Now I don't want to play the top graphics games or even play them at full I just want something that will last me until I finish university in 4 or 5 years and not run mega slow. Note: I know full well a desktop is better then a laptop for gaming but when you need a laptop for University and don't have enough for both a laptop and gaming computer.
Just made a new topic on this and never knew about this one. I just had a look at some of that stuff on that admin tools and I found that Wireless Zero Configuration thing on there. Could ending svchost.exe have stopped my wireless connection from working as I was having problems with it a last week when i got annoyed enough to end the dam thing.
Sorry if this is the wrong section but I was not sure where to ask a OS question here Now I know that Svchost.exe is a windows system file but that a virus/worm/something also uses that name the thing is one of my Svchost.exe is using up 99% of my 2ghz processor. Now a simple yes or no would be good enough but will the windows file ever use up that much of my processor as it is starting to get annoying but I don’t know what Svchost.exe actually dose so I have not tried to stop it from starting and it doesn’t happen all the time.
Sounds like one of the options I had for my pc building assignment at college in England (had a choice of 4 computers to find parts for) but I never picked the one with a unlimited budget. Sorry I don’t know places to look for Australia prices but I hope you do well.
Well i think Company Of Heroes has a DX10 option in its graphics settings but i don't think it turns it into a full DX10 game but i expect it takes advantage of some of the new stuff
That reminds me we don’t get home work but our teachers advise us to do some work at home and our flash drives wont work on half the computers or we have to turn the computers around to plug them into the back as only the front ones don’t work and hardware not working reminds me the time the printer suddenly stopped working because it was no longer installed on the print server for the classroom.
Damn, that sounds like no fun at all. But me and some friends found that if you simply hold Alt+F4 down on the school log in screen for a few seconds the entire compy freezes up, and procedes to a BSoD. Many a fun lesson has been had when the IT teacher has left the room, only to come back to 20-odd BSoD'd computers with some innocent looking pupils going "It broke!" :DShadow_Chicken
I have got to try that as my teachers seem to go out the room quite a lot but it could be hard with a paper ball war going on and needing to dodge something like 20 of them before my side of the room ends up with all of them and counter attacks. But if it works my teachers would probably think I just stuck a picture in power point with a loop set up again :D that fooled them for a wile and what was funny is that the computers are XP an I used an old win 98 picture and it took them about 5 min before they realized what it really was.
Well I am assuming that if Nvidia don’t have any newer drivers then there is officially no newer drivers out but I would not be surprised if someone/company have made unofficial ones.
In my (english) secondary school (its supposedly a technology college. phhhh....) All our compys are made by RM plc. The newest ones are not too bad, 3.4ghz Pentium 4's w/1gb RAM, but they are only in the Geography and Music departments at the mo. In the ICT suites, Library, Humanities, English, Maths and technology computer hubs, we have 3.0Ghz Pentium 4's with 512/256mb RAM and 15" CRT's. So no awesome computers, but they could be a hell of a lot worse. Oh, and theres loads of them considering theres only about 700 people at this school. :DShadow_Chicken
You mean RM can make something better then the rubbish stuff I have at college. I would tell you exactly how rubbish they are but my college locks basically everything expect Microsoft office, Photoshop and Internet Explore and even then Office is not even fully installed on all computers. it’s a bit hard to do assignment work that said use Microsoft Project when its been block on all computers in the class room the same with Photoshop And when you are told to add sound and video to a web page when there is NO SOUND CARD in the computer and Windows media player cant play any videos because it has no codacs. And all this is in a class room for computer courses and before the rubbish RM computers for no reason decide to completely freeze for about 5 min when you are tiring to do work and all that is not just with the students its also with the teachers as well. I do admit that most of that is the colleges network managements fault (I would say my class could do better but we all failed the network management exam back in January :P) but slow computers that take 5 min to start up then 5 more to log in only to freeze 5 min later is really annoying.
