I have been using Intel my whole life, and it works well for the average person. However, I have been becoming more active on the internet and I find that it is not keeping up. My computer might be out of date, but AMD seems to always be ahead of technology, while Intel is just behind AMD. Other then the price Nividia has very few downsides, so I here. But I have only heard this from people who are devoted to using the video cards that they prefer. Intel people use it because it works just fine, costs very little. AMD people use it because Intel doesn't work as well as AMD when they do whatever it is they do, costs a moderate amount of money. And Nividia people use it because they like high performance and it rarely tops out, costs a lot.

Based on what I understand, Intel is better than AMD

As for Nvidia vs AMD, Nvidia has more power, while AMD is more cost friendly

I am planning on assembling one PC from 3+ other computers. Do you know if I have to re-install an OS on the hard drive for it to work with the new parts, or if I can just leave it? I looked around and I haven't found a definitive answer. I'll worry about buying new parts after I see how well it works.

I believe you have to reinstall because the OS gets configured for a certain configuration. Motherboards aren't all the same

To reply to your previous comment, funnyjunk.com/user/blackcomet/130#130.
No, I have a Vista. A hand-me-down that my mother got it's a 2006. It runs well with regular programs, but a gaming computer it is not. I tweeked Minecraft to play on the bare minimum, but it still skips a few frames now and again.

Can you tell me the specs of your computer?

Looks like you're using up most, if not all, of your RAM with that setup. Have you considered upgrading the RAM?

It's a laptop. As far as I know I can't upgrade. I've tried dissecting it to find out what hardware it uses but I can't get to anything except for the hard drive and a few fans.

What kind of laptop is it? You should still be able to upgrade it.

Gateway.

Gateway what?

Just a Gateway, if you're asking about the OS then it's a Vista, but all it is a a regular Gateway.

What model? I can't tell what it is by simply telling you the make.
Tell me how to replace the alternator in my dodge.

I have given you all of the information that I know. A "Dodge", Gateway, made in 2006 with all of the specs I have shown would help Find the appropriate "alternator", RAM chips.

Does it have a sticker that gives you the model number? Usually it's on the bottom

It's worn down it looks like MT6728 or MT8729

This?

$40 dollars I don't have.

Yeah that's it.

Looks like you can't upgrade the RAM. Already maxed out(2GB is the limit for that motherboard)

I was thinking about assembly my own terminal from spare PCs I have. My mother always crapped them out and bought cheap used computers, so I was going to strip them and use what I want to build my own. However I don't know how to find any information on the internal parts of a computer I know nothing about. As for figuring out if the parts are compatible, I would just use Google to find a reference and do as much research as I can.

I do admit I know very little when it comes to computer hardware, and I'm looking for a forum of knowledgeable people to ask if I have any questions.

3 parts to this. Still explains pretty well

You should be able to google the model numbers and it should give you information. The problem comes when it doesn't have it. Had that problem with a video card I got at a flea market. Turns out it was a GeForce

Just watched the first part, very informative. I would prefer a Nividia video card, but I'll take his advice and stick to my price range, or just rob somebody.

Nvidia vs AMD. Not that different from Intel vs AMD. I tend to go with Nvidia as well, but it all comes down to what I can afford(If only I had a job)

I don't think this is worth it

Are you asking me to post hentai?

I just wanted to have a conversation because I was bored as fuck

Understandable. I haven't been as much as I normally was. I missed most of the "porn ban thing". Has there been any good hentai in NSFW lately?

Aside from the pics and reposted doujins, not much. Been noticing more futa though

Anything interesting happen?

I've been messing with my laptop using rainmeter(had to make my own icons), got my fingerprints done, and now I'm downloading HS DxD BD batch

What's rainmeter?

http://rainmeter. net/cms/

used to customize the desktop

It doesn't look very impressive.

You customize it yourself

From what I can tell it's like Google Gadgets and Bump Top in one.

just without the need to be connected to the internet

Ah. Still, what's wrong with a normal desktop?

The only reason I would customize my desktop is if it allowed me to hover over a folder and a drop down menu appeared allowing me to see and select all the subfolders. And if I hovered over one of the subfolders I could do the same with their subfolders. All that and I still haven't opened anything.

Either that or if I could customize it to simulate a video games menu. But giving shortcut keys to programs and applications is much easier than setting up a customized desktop. not to mention I'm using an old computer, so the ram isn't that great.

Don't know if they have one that does the folder thing, but they do have an applications management type thing

If I remember, it's only 10MB for the RAM

I only have 2038 MB of RAM.

Same as my desktop. Just don't run too many at once

If all else fails

strange feeling whenever i switch mouses

I like to play music while I play Minecraft. Any idea how customizing my desktop would affect the game.
