Well, it's hardly seeing into the future as it has already happened but cool none the less. I wonder if some brains have lower latency than others? :P I may has to upgrade my neural network.
Actually, it is the response time and what Flicko said was correct about LCDs not having a refresh rate. A refresh of the screen would be a complete update of the image being display, so 60Hz would be a refreshing of the screen 60 times every second. An LCD doesn't refresh because the pixles...
Same. While I don't use a limited account I haven't had any Anti-Virus software installed for about 2 years now. I did run a online virus scan out of curiousity. I think it found about 4-5 things but none were really serious. The last time I had a Virus was when I carelessly downloaded and...
In the 2-3 years I've had this computer I've never ran Windows defrag or any other degrag program once. Maybe I should but I'm going to be building a new computer soon anyways. :)
I'm going to build a new PC soon and I'm thinking about whether it be worth waiting a bit longer for DDR3 memory? DDR3 is still expensive at the moment but is the difference between DDR2 worth it overall? I would like to build a new PC now but I guess I could hold out a little longer. When will...
I've done it a few times before. I simply connect the VCR to the TV card (using SCART) then with the TV cards own software record the part I want and then re-encode it to Xvid in VirtualDub. A good bitrate for 640x480 30FPS or 720x576 25FPS would be ~2000kbps if you encode it right but I just...
There are loads of portable players that can play FLAC, some are listed here http://flac.sourceforge.net/links.html#hardware
The iPod can also play it but it needs the Rockbox fireware to be installed. I do agree it's not such a great format for portable devices due to the size and that with...
Where I work a company went bust and all there stock got liquidated into the Logistics company for the dept they owed. I've been assigned to look through the stock to see what's useful and what's not. I came across some nice 21" LCD HP F2105 monitors. I thought I might as well ask if I can buy...
Yeah, might as well just buy a replacement as they're so cheap now.
I'm sort of in the same boat with mine. It reads the DVD fine but with games that require the disc to be in the drive in order to play them, it always says the disc is not loaded in the drive or cannot be found. This means...
Our first ever PC (family) was a Tiny PC. It could only just about run Doom without pausing to read the hard disk.
Specs
AMD 75Mhz (Don't know what model).
8MB RAM (Later upped to 32).
1GB HDD
Soundblaster card
1MB graphics card (don't know what it was).
CD-ROM
Windows 95
Doing that speed test gave me the same results as the other one.
Looking into it more it seems that I must have been switched to ADSL Max causing the modem to sync at the highest speed possible but also making it unstable (it's been cutting out almost everyday and I have to restart the...
My connection speed on my router is reading differently to what I'm actually getting. The ISP I was orginally signed up to (Pipex) was bought out by Tiscali last year and just last week I was moved over to there network. Nothing has really changed it terms of quality, latency etc but my router...
I always turn mine off at night because it's too noisy. I don't bother with standby because some fans stay running and my TV card crashes the computer if I try to use it after.
Even if none of these problems existed, I probably still would shut it down or at least put it into a standby (if...
So does that mean a x1 card would work in x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots while a x8 card would only work in x8 and x16 slots? I've looked around and have seen a few PCI-E TV Tuner cards and Sound cards available so they're useful for something.
Would it be better to get a board that has more of the...
