What are you all running?

[Gilles]

Probably integrated....

I should crack her open and check. I can't remember, it may just be a shitty card.

 

[RED BARON]

Solid State Drives are definetly the way of the future. Once they get up to reasonable capacities, they will be the definitie way to go.

Inded... to bad the higest is 64 G, that aint much. But hell it is fast.

(Gilles you could just check your computer specifics: it can be done by the comp itself.)

 

[brad.dude03]

As I said, as soon as they up the capacity (and they will, they will) you're basically set to go.

Hows that? Display Properties, Advanced, Adapter?

If so then it seems to be a SiS 661FX. With 32 MB.

 

[brad.dude03]

Good lord no wonder! 32 MB of VRAM, imagine that. Your card must be nearing 8 or so years of age then, yes?

SiS generally makes integrated graphics systems, and yours sounds like a very old one at that.

 

[brad.dude03]

Well SILICONintegratedSYSTEMS I think it is, no? So that does make sense

But it's the 32 MB that gives it away. My Radeon 7500 is 7 years old or so now, and it still has 64 MB of memory, so imagine how old yours is, with only half of that. At least 8 years old, is my guess.

No actually. It's a year old, but my Dad bought it, and didn't want any G-Cards put in. It was custom built, so the guy probably wanted to make it as cheap as possible, since my Dad doesn't play video games he doesn't need a good card, just RAM and a good processor.

7 years old and 64 MB??? How the hell can you even run something?

 

[brad.dude03]

Not anymore, that was my old card. I stopped using it ages ago. I have a brand-freakin' new HD2600XT 512 now and it rapes all

But Gilles, I find it VERY hard to believe that it's only a year old, all of the integrated stuff made since 2006 has 128 MB of memory at least, my HP Laptop from 2002 even had 64 MB integrated...

Ookay that explains it...

Well the computer was bought a year ago. The motherboard seems to be good, but somehow I have that integrated 32 MB. Maybe I checked it wrong.

 

[brad.dude03]

Yep, you checked it right, but it's wierd to have one so small. Meh, just replace away then

I thought it was his dad's So maybe he wouldnt allow him to just replace it.

 

[brad.dude03]

Fair enough, but convince and then replace, as 32 MB wont get you far at all these days.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

unless anyone else has proffessional audio equipment (like me) i probably have one of the better sounds systems connected to my computer.

What are you using?

I use:
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum
Creative Inspire T7900

That is some really sweet sound ..

 

[Pyritie]

Laptop speakers ftl.

But they're very good (for a laptop).

Hehe.. Various laptop manufactors are starting to implement some "good" speakers into their computers fortunately. My MacBook Pro has fairly good sound ..

 

[GST_Nemisis]

im using that creative audio card that looks like a drive and goes into one of the slots where a cd or dvd drive would usually go. you know? the really cool looking one. but my sound system is good because i have it connected to a mixer (along with alot of other stuff), a great amp and some high quality speaks and subwoofer

Yeah that sound card is either the same or slightly older model than the one I'm using. I rather stay with my current setup.. Kinda like the sorround sound

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah I use an old SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 card, it still puts out damned good, and a 5.1 set of Altec Lansing speakers, also getting on in age. One of the speakers finally started to crackle, so i'm getting a new set (hopefully) for Christmas. 280 Watts ftw!

 

[RED BARON]

I have no idea what my soundcard is..

But I got 2 260 Watts speakers at my screen. And a large Subwoofer. Does the job fine for me. Not realy in for the big sound systems. Those are for the living room.

I live in one room .. 7.1 surround sound really does a good action movie worth watching.. I have no idea about the output, but I've never had it up more than half way, it's simply just to loud. It would wake up the dead guys at the local graveyeard.
