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!

 

Just to clear up some things though, tama yung pinost before that populating all the slots of your motherboard with modules will actually slow it down (as the posted link to an article from tom's hardware described it) but as Dual channel DDR is now fast becoming a norm this is no longer the case for after benchmarking (see tom's hardware article "search for the holy grail" of ram) the fastest configuration of Dual channel DDR is 4 double sided modules, second is 4 single sided modules. just to let you guys know.

Does anybody know how to connect a Mac to a PC network? What software do i need on the mac and/or a PC to do so? are there any tips on configuration? thanks.

you need a window NT/2000/2003 (XP?)

and install the Mac services. hth.

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!

 

...nicely put.

 

magkano kaya 64-bit na laptops nyan?

[JUPITER]

no idea yet hehehhe but for sure like any technology, mataas sa una tapos bababa rin.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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?

[bigbang theory]

i just want to know if u know of organizations hu offer scholarship to aspiring law students..thanks !!pm me about this

nakow, i have a lawyer friend who has a lot of scholars... pero wag na lang natin palalimin ang kwento kung anong mga edad at kung gano kaseksi ang mga scholar nya..he he

well kung gusto mo mag-aral ng ibang platform without re-formating ur system...try http://www.vmware.com/.

1GB memory can help you run 2-3 guest OS at the same time.

may mini-network ka sa laptop mo.

i use this to study firewalls and networking.

i also use it to do clustering on Win2K.

@ dusty,

 

sorry bro, im not into Intel.

 

Im talking about AThlon FX mobile for laptops.

 

Athlon FX/ Opteron is the more intelligent choice coz they made a hybrid processor that can recognize and execute both 32 and 64-bit instructions at the same time and at the same environment.

 

at least, u can run XP 64-Bit edition and use 32-bit programs such as games.

 

The world will not spend billions of dollars just to re-write and re-compile their 32bit to 64bit just so that Itanium can recognize it when there is a better option such as Athlon FX.

 

IBM is now selling servers using Athlon FX /Opteron PRocessors simply because from the demand from the thinking market.

 

The HT of P4 is a bit useless since most programs execute in single threads. Up to now, i haven't heard of any program running in HT mode.

it's great on white paper but so far, programmers didn't make programs for it and 64Bit is now on the horizon so i think it will just be an unused technology just like the SVCD unless their Itanium also use it.

 

When I activated the HT of my friend's PC on a P4 2.8Ghz-C on a hi-end MSI board, for some reasons, it slowed down miserably. We were running XP Pro SP1, 512Mb ram. 80GB

 

the other PC, an Athlon XP2000+ (1.67Ghz) was definitely faster. 512MB, 80GB den.

 

any other ideas as to why is slowed down? HT lang talaga ang binago namin eh. when we turned it off, acceptable na yung speed nya though its not worth the money when its performance is compared to an AThlon 2000+

totoo to pre, astig talaga. hehehe

 

mukha kang intellectual tapos serious effect pa mukha mo hehehe

 

pero sa needs kase ni miss girlamatic/friend ni girlamatic, ok na and there is no need for a very fast laptop na hindi naman nau-utilize ang speed.

 

battery technology ang dapat i-focus ng manufacturers these days.

 

I would appreciate it if my laptop's charge would last for 4-5days just like my mobile phone, motorola.

 

 

 

OT: nakaka-trauma avatar mo pre. naaalala ko to lagi tapos natatawa ako. hehehe

Good afternoon.

Jupiter: can just ask around how much the lcd screen is for my asus L2000 series. thanks :mtc:
