I have only 2 dimms of ram installed in my computer 2x1024mb in dual channel. 1 Question) Is my 2GB crucial ballistix PC2 800Mhz enough and capable for a GOOD GAMING? Did i lag in anything? As fps,texture details,colors,light,speed,etc?
All in Resolution 1920x108p+full antialiasing+VSync+very high details. How much memory i need for a GOOD GAMING in Vista 32 bit sp1?
Okay, so I've had this HP Pavilion with Vista 64 bit less than a week (see specs below) and it's much much faster than my old Dell model [with XP] BUT today I was running a scheduled Hardware Diagnostic and it took like 30-40 min. and towards the end of it I tried to change the Power management so it would not go to Screen Saver mode (as it already had) and when I tried to do so, it took like 3 min. for it to open the Control Panel, 3 more minutes to open the Power Options dialogue, 2-3 more minutes to open the sub-menu there, and so forth - altogether about 8-9 minutes to do this simple task of changing Power Options while running hardware diagnostics.
I can understand that Hardware Diagnostics might take a lot of the computer's resources, but THIS is ridiculous! It was like going back to Windows 98 with 256MB RAM. Problem is, I have this*, so it shouldn't be this slow! Should it??? :
*Pavilion a6750y Desktop
AMD Phenom X4 9650 quad core processor
8gigs PC2 6400 DDR2 SDRAM
750 gig SATA Hard Drive (7200 rpm) (with about 650 gigs of space left!)
ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics with 256mb memory
2MB L2 _ 2MB shared L3 Cache memory
Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit
Is there a way I can tweak my memory or ? to make this not happen? Or does my computer have a serious problem?
A) Will i see any difference if i use 4GB 1066Mhz instead 4GB 800Mhz of ram?
B) Is it better to use 4x1GB or 2x2GB?

Although many people have posted about this. I just thought I would put it were it should be. Avast 4.7 works with Vista x64 although no manual updates, so Im told
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy bro wants to get his pc running vista & wants a dx10 capable card with a bit more power. Hes looking for cards in the £100 area. Currently he has my old 7900gs 512mb which is an ok card for what he does gaming wise, but if we're going to upgrade, i want something at least a little more powerful.
I want to know how the 9600 cards compare to a 7900gs & what kind of heat they kick out. The 7900 runs about 45c so i want to try get something that runs close to that if possible. ps, looking at this one so far BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Although this product claims to be Vista 64 capable will it run in MCE ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the Gigabyte GT-PTV-AF-RH TV Tuner, for which I've downloaded the appropriate Vista x64 driver from the Gigbyte website (www.gigabyte.com.tw). Media Center still cannot see the tuner, as it says "No Tuner Hardware Found" (although I can use the remote in a limited fashion). The Tuner is working, IF I use the bundled Cyberlink PowerCinema. I'd really prefer to use Windows Media Center.
Gigabyte tells me I need to install the MCECodec, which is provided by Cyberlink. Oddly enough, Cyberlink says they're only responsible for Cyberlink Powercinema, and need to contact the card manufactuer.
Gigabyte DOES have a download for XPMCE x64, but the installer says it won't work with Vista x64.
Where can I get the MCECodec so that my tuner card can work with MCE?
If there is no solution, perhaps a recomendation on replacing the Gigabyte tuner with one from another manufacturer that is proven to work with Vista x64 Media Center and that comes supplied with a Media Center Remote Control?
Having run the update advisor, it turns out that my computer isn't fully capable of running Windows Aero (shock). The advisor recommended that I chose Home Basic, but I would be able to run Premium, just without the Aero graphics. So my first choice is, Basic or Premium (lacking few features)? My second choice, is after I decide which version, whether I should get the upgrade package or shell out for the full version, just incase?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI certain its a hardware issue but i was just curious. don't they both broadcast on the 802.11 band (is it called a band?)? so why wouldn't they be capable of either or? (i know bluetooth uses smaller wave lengths and wifi larger, that much i do know) it would probably be impractical to try wifi on bluetooth band as you would get severely reduced performance. but why not bluetooth on wifi band?
