Quick time was mac based but is pretty much in the market now for all but real players is theone that is most often used. quick time has smaller video files but not that great clarity ( well since viewing movies in the web really gives much to detail). both are easy to install but my preference is quicktime since real player is more internet prominent. (I don't like the fact that it always searches the web when i just want to watch those downloaded porn videos )

simplefied go for the real player, its easier.

I actually had almost the same problem with my computer hanging whnever i am online or playing games, i swapped everything with known good equipment but the problem was still there. after months of frustration and angst my friend suggested i get a shim. Since i use an athlon xp he said that the heat buildup aften causes problems that appear to be mem or os. (oh the countless debug, fdisk, format reinstall) \it actually lessened my shutdowns and hangs, now i've got a better cooling system for computer and its working fine. This is a problem if you are using amd, intels don't really encounter that problem much.

hope this helps

it is true Quick time is mac Based but there are other altrernatives like media player which is already included with your windows

 

But if you need better players go to GH and buy the CD's

y? nago-overclock ka ba kaya ur having cpu heat problems w/ ur AMD chip?

 

or maybe u bought an overclocked CPU. well, before maraming ganun raket, ewan ko lang ngayon.....teka, lately pala me napanood ako sa news about mga comp stores sa ghills charged w/ selling overclocked CPU daw (i.e. XP 1700+ oc'd to 2100+ selling it at 2100+ price).....

pero I saw na under unvestigation pa lang ito ha....I'm not saying na na prove na ng authorities.

 

in any case, u can just ask or browse the entire thread for tips on what to look for in buying comps.

tanung ko lang kung pano pa ma improve yung speed nung pc without

buying anything else.. pasensya na la kasi pambili eh.. pc ko p3 450

lang with 256ram.. aside from defrag anu pa?

[leinad31]

jepjep: Kalikot sa BIOS (not recommended unless you know what your doing), streamline bootup (mga nasa autoexec.bat at config.sys na di kailangan), streamline progam load (iwas load ng mga TSR na di kailangan).

 

Pwede ring gawin mong boot disk smallest HDD (yung kasya OS plus disk memory plus extra free space) para mabilis read/write. The rest (applications) install mo sa ibang hard disk with its own cable (secondary IDE mo ilagay) para walang kahati ang main disk mo with data transfer to mboard.

 

Pwede ring partition mo HDD kung malaki para mas maliit FAT (mas mabilis read/write) sa boot partition. Pasensya na, FAT32 boi ako eh, sakit sa ulo kasi kung magkaproblema load Win XP tapos NTFS ginamit mo.

1. First things first, perform a clean installation of Windows. This is one of the best ways to speed up your PC. However, this might not be practical.

2. Install the correct and/or latest drivers for your motherboard, video, sound, etc.

3. Install only the programs that you really need. Other programs that run in the background tend to slow down your PC.

4. Optimize the size of your Windows swap file. Go to Google and type the words "optimize windows swap file". That should give you some very helpful links.

5. When browsing Web sites on the Internet, be careful of the various spyware that may be installed. Examples of these would be Gator, Xupiter etc. To combat these, I suggest using Spybot.

6. Install a personal firewall. Try ZoneAlarm.

7. Install an antivirus program. You can either use the free antivirus program that comes with your motherboard (if you have it) or use AVG 6.0 Free Edition.

 

There are still other tips but those are all I can think of for now. Try Googling for them.

Nasa sa iyo na yan kung paano mo gamitin yung HDD. Kung ako kasi sa lugar mo, isang partition yang 20GB, dyan OS at importanteng apps, tapos kuha ka isa pang HDD. Maliit na kasi 20GB nowadays. Kahit dalawang partition na lang siguro, para dalawang FAt table lang load sa memory at refer sa disk access kung kelangan mo ng partition. Pero kung kelangan mo talaga 3, as I said nasa pag-gamit mo na yan.

 

Yung suggestion ni trebbie, clean install ng Win pinaka-ok, para malinis ang registry kaso di nga practical.

 

Pinaka-cost effective na pampabilis, kung willing ka gastusan, bili ka ng additional memory para di na sya save lagi sa swap file (which is a lot slower).

 

Last advice, huwag ka gagamit ng masyado latest na software version, lalo na yung mga suites, kasi geared yun for better performance PCs. Makunteto ka with what works, or kung ano lumabas na software nung panahon ng PC mo, kung speed ang priority mo.

thanks sa lahat ng info guys.. i'll try it na!

Question naman mga computer pros:

 

Some sites that play videos require either realplayer and quicktime, which I don't have.

 

1) Which of them uses a smaller video file?

2) Which has a better picture and sound quality?

3) How do I install them? Which is easier to install?

 

Thanks and I hope you guys can help me here

Pards,

 

First of all, Realplayer uses a smaller file because of its video compression engine however avi has a better picture and sound quality but realplayer files can be much better depending on the compression ratio used (the less compressed the original file the better the quality). Well both are easy to install but I would suggest you install both since you do not know what the sites are playing just to make sure to cut down on download time. Oh, by the way if you are using Windows Media Player 8 or higher you probably would not need quicktime since this can be handle by WMP.

 

Hope this helps. Chow

You're welcome. I hope it helps.

 

Just tell us what happened afterwards. If it's not your RAM, it may be your power supply.

Will do, bootable cd image ang nadownload ko (tama ba yun) burn ko then gawin ko ... post ko results as soon as magawa ko ... kung power supply sa generic 702 casing (yung max x sa gillid) kasi yun galing i guess between 300-400 watts yun ... tingnan naten
