  1. Up to now, i haven't heard of any program running in HT mode.

    bro do u know blackberry and other mobile apps? due to limited memory capacity and performance we are creating more than 5 threads just to run it smoothly and in decent speed. thats the beauty of hyper threading... and about the ht technology of intel well i'll ask you are you using the capabilities of direct x 9 right now? the latest games that are about to be release yes but the games that we are using now no. theyre using 8 or 8.5. and lastly if you though i am an intel fan oopps... i have just appreciated theyre technology... in fact i haven't got an intel pc.. our first one was an amd 586... then amd 350, and now athlon 750. :upside:

  2. i'm not into those applications, pure gaming and some basic applications lang ako. everybody, cept bro matsutsu says that 512 is good enough. what do you recommend? will there be a significant enhancement of my games if I go to 1G ram?

    512 bro is enough for gaming as long as you have decent video card and processor. not unless you want to study programming... :)

  3. HI GUY'S! thanks for all the input re: memory from 512mb to 1GB, i'm staying put with 512mb for now as the consensus is, overkill lang at walang masyadong gain (sorry bro matsutsu!) i'm largely into games only and not much technical thingies so okie na siguro yon!

    bro buti kapa... try developing applications using forte(java) or the JDE of blackberry... and u will see the difference of a 512mb memory and 1gb memory... ;)

  4. hi there techie girl,

     

    the diff between Centrino and P4/P4-M are their speed and Power saving technology.

     

    Centrino is the best at this time. It can conserve energy better than P4-M moreso than a P4. Based on the Banias Processor with 1024Kb L2 Cache, its 1.4Ghz is actually faster than the P4-M 2.2ghz which only got 512Kb.

     

    at 60K, u cud buy the Acer centrino but that laptop is one of those I dont recommend mainly because of its weak construction. Im not sure if its our climate or its poor materials that makes it brittle and break like a cookie after sometime.

     

    personally, I won't Buy laptops now that are way too expensive. simply because, If u are wary about the depreciation of assets, the P4, Centrino will suddenly lose their value come mobile 64-Bit generation which is next year. In United states, 64-Bit laptops are already being sold this Q4-2003. It will be here next year .

     

    99.99% of the computers and laptops sold here in the phils now are all 32-Bit.

     

    64-Bit computers are the latest trend. They are faster and can do more multitasking processes and its completely different from the 32-Bit we are using now.

     

    Confusion on what to buy is the main problem when buying something.

     

    Here are my suggested Guidelines:

     

    1. It should first fulfill my NEEDS.

    2. after that, what are the extras, do I NEED them? how much are the extras.

    3. What are the other options

     

    For your needs and the timeliness of purchase, u should only buy a PIII or a PII, those already depreciated so when 64-Bit comes, they wouldn't lose value like the Centrino and P4 will when 64-Bit arrives here.

     

    and do you know that when P4 and Cenrino are in battery mode, to conserve batt life, it will slow down to 300-500MHz? If they are run in full speed using their batteries, it will only last for an hour or less. So sometimes, I ponder, why are users buying Ghz-speed laptops when they aren't run at that speed, only when connected to wall socket - which a desktop already does.

     

     

    Guten tag! Buen dia! Good day! :)

    hi! to fully maximized the 64-bit capability of a processor you need a 64-bit compatible applications. right now almost all desktop apps are 32-bit. the only 64-bit apps now are for those high end servers though some software houses now are creating 64-bit apps. the p4 HT would be a good processor with multi threading capability. :)

  5. do we really need a high end laptop?

     

    i think more of a personal preference at kung marami kang datung.

     

    i used to have a laptop pero boring din kasi can't play 3d games. (i did play tomb raider 1-3 pero low res lng)

     

    pede ding personal video player lalo for dvds and vcds...lalo na when ur travelling. kills boredom at pa-astig effect.

    :lol:

    i think it depends on how ur going to use the notebook. for developers a high end notebooks is really a MUST. this actually serves as demo servers during presentations and demo of apps. especially useful for database driven apps. on the other hand, there are also notebooks out there that are designed for 3d gamers. although the price of these notebooks are too HIGH, it can outperform desktops... there are notebooks out there that uses the video card tech from ati and it uses an independent memory (not shared). you can check them out... but hold yourself forr the price... :)

  6. Magandang araw po

    I have a problem with my internet explorer at home, ayaw niyang iopen ang MTC. Pag tinatype ko yung url ng MTC sa address it is directed to another website parang mywebsearch yata yun. I suspect there is a script that is being loaded from my computer kaya the website is being directed to another website.... ano ba ang dapat kong gawin to correct this, will it help if I reinstall Internet Explorer??? tulong naman

    hello.....

     

    try scanning your system for possible virus and regularly update your virus def files or engines....

    also run spybot search and destroy....

    if you are using winxp enable the built in firewall or install zonealarm its free....

    goodluck.........

  7. pc cillin is not a good anti virus.....(on my opinion and experience)

    Ano naging prob mo dun bro?

     

    Sa akin kasi so far ok sya 100% basta updated ka lang ng pattern file mo at scan engine. Dito sa Libis ang HQ nyan hehe so mga pinoy ang masisi mo kung updated ka na at nagka prob ka pa.

    yup sa libis nga ang hq niyan d2 sa phil... in fact may kaibigan akong nagwowork diyan... im just saying na the scanning capability of norton is far more reliable than that of trend... he have been hit by blaster in our opis.... almost all workstations have been affected running win2k and winxp except mine and some who are using norton..... we are using trend corporate anti virus updated daily by our network admin.... then we have been hit again by wilchea but we are not affected...... in fact the tool they used in removing that worm came from symantec the maker of norton... :)

  8. i am posting here a forwarded letter i got from my email. its worth thinking actually....

     

    The one that got away

     

    In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared

    something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you

    first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the

    one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with...and the one that got away.

     

    Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with who everything was

    great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault

    in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't

    fall the right way, I suppose.

     

    I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner

    that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an

    equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing.

    It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way

    that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.

     

    How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not

    ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it

    just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become

    dealbreakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and

    the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and

    little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

     

    Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready

    to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might

    not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll

    work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll

    make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will.

     

    So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find

    yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is

    different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've

    become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no

    telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a

    long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter.

    All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away,

    is the first person you think about.

     

    You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?"

    You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?"

    That's what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you'll have in your

    life.

     

    If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got

    away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is,

    this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize

    that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of

    your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past

    it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's

    never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.>

     

    Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case it's

    the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that

    person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when

    you're old and gray and reminiscing.

     

    But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's

    not yet too late? Simple...find him, find her. Because the very existence of a

    "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one?

     

    Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've

    dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one

    that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away."

     

    You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If the

    timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know,

    I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to

    someone, "Hey you, you're the one that almost got away."

     

     

    post script: sweetie, ALMOST but not quite! hey you.... yes you! ;)

    hey.... that's nice......

  9. Guys is updating your bios really safe? Kasi balak ko nang mag-update ng bios, and it is my first time to do so. Ang inaalala ko lang kasi ay kapag nagkaroon ng power outtage withing the updating process, baka mawala lamn ng motherboard bios ko at maging useless na.

     

    Any tips or guideleines on how to perform bios updating safely and successfully would be appreciated. Thanks :)

    it is safe. just wish that the the electricity will not be interrupted. Its only about 10secs or less. borrow a UPS. or do it on a moment you think it's quite impossible to have a power interruption in your area.

     

    most of the time, your system performance will improve coz Bios flashing normally corrects bugs on the initial bios release.

     

    good luck. btw, do not do online flashing, download the flashfile first then flash it from the file.

    Thanks for the info.

     

    May problema pa uli ako. Yung outlook 2000 ko nagtataka ako, everytime na nakakadownload ako ng eamilgaling sa isang ISP, iniiba niya yung entry ng Incoming Mail Server to "localhost" at pagkatapos yung user name naiiba din(nadadagdagan ng "/" then yung mail server for incoming mail). Kapag nababago ang mga ito di na kumukuha ng mail, not unless I manually change it. Ano kaya cause nito?

    Maybe try mo I-scan mo yung system ng Trojan scanner, baka may trojan ka na nag chachange ng configuration.

    Nag-scan na ako ng PC using PC-cillin and there's no Trojan found. Baka meron kang alam na site na nagbibigay ng freeware para mag scan ng Trojan.

     

    Thanks.

    try mo din spybot s&d......

     

    pc cillin is not a good anti virus.....(on my opinion and experience)

     

    try searching in symantec. they have loads of free utilities that can clean ur pc and also do try to change ur anti virus software. i suggest norton anti-virus....

     

    gudlak....
