QUOTE(mikuo @ Mar 2 2010, 05:33 PM) omg~ haha!! u read me! i mistook myself wif the gma x3100... going bonkers from seeing alot of numbers
ic ic, btw, can u tell me how to tell which processor is better than another? i am very very very unfamiliar wif this kind of things
gotta learn some things.... but different web are giving me different reviews on how to tell which processor is better....
does processor sees how many GHz to know they are better? intel.com and amd.com..... or wikipedia... GHz now, is relatively unimportant now, Better is quite wide definition, some processor are better at specific tasks... most are between 2 to 3GHz any-ways (has been for 4 years or so), processors have been multiplying in additional number of cores 2 to 4 to 6... to 8... the new mobile i5 and i3... 2 cores 4 threads (4 virtual cores, HT).. some i7, 4 cores, 8 threads. |

QUOTE(bgkeh @ Mar 4 2010, 10:36 PM) hello guys, i know this is laptop recommendation, but i dont want to make a new thread regarding my question.
if i buy a new laptop with 2gb ddr3 ram, should 1 or shouldnt i upgrade it to 4 gb?
thx in advance ^^ Get with a single stick of 2GB DDR3 RAM (the newer i3 or i5 [or i7])... wait for 2GB DDR3 sticks to fall in price( say <RM70)... you'll get a cheap upgrade to 4GB with dual channel |

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Mar 12 2010, 07:43 PM) Can, its just that the video will be downscaled to 720p.... Actually down scalled to the scree's res. (which is @1366x768... or any other screen res)... the only typical notebook screen that actually does 720p (1280x720 @16:9) is the 1280x768 screen (that is actually 16:10) |

QUOTE(Omnitricks @ Mar 13 2010, 06:23 PM) Now the Dell Vostro 3700 is better than the Acer 5740g in terms of performance (for now anyway since its cheaper?) Then the BenQ S42/S57 is it better though being apparently rare? If lets say budget allows a few *00(5?) extra meaning should get Dell Studio 15 or is there something else? Performance is too wide a term to use when all you're comparing is gaming performance.... |
