By Kuristosu Dei
I had my own old computer in my home.that ages was above 2 years.I thinks it was same as a mature cats,isn't it?that's why I refer it so old.I use my Dell Dimension 8300 with 256 megabytes memory inside and I use NVidia Riva TNT2 as my graphic card.as long as I use it to play a games like DOTA or anything standar graphic game,it was not had a problem.but sometimes I must defragment my hard disk weekly because so many crowded and unstable file system was poped up in my HD.

I had a plan to substitute my memory to 1 Gygabyte.so the risk of hang,or crashed was disrupted.and I want to use more better standard graphic card from Nvidia,I don't use latest games that wasting too many memory.I play only standard games that spend little memory only.

I had jealous for my friend(Rahadian),he had AMD ATHLON XP2,and could handed 64 bit memory.and his computer memory had 1 gygabyte.how cool I express it.but he don't use his computer to play some complicated graphic games.he more likely to watch some anime DVD in his computer and he always use it for coding by used of macromedia dreamweaver 2004,yes,he is genious in programming.he maintain informatics commnunity website in my college..

today,I going to his place and request him to teach me how to coding some of web that used to be home task yesterday.thanks Dian.

Laptop

By Kuristosu Dei
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A laptop computer, or simply, a laptop is a small mobile personal computer that has components that are similar to their desktop counterparts but are optimized for mobile use and efficient power consumption. Laptops usually have a built-in keyboard and typically employ liquid crystal displays (LCD). There are several categories of laptops like Ultra-Mobile Personal Computers (UMPC), Ultra-portables, Thin-and-Lights and Mainstream.

Laptops are also known as notebook computers or simply notebooks. A laptop generally runs on a single main battery and is capable of doing the same tasks as a desktop computer can. For a given price range, laptops are generally less powerful than a desktop computer as they prioritize their compactness and energy efficiency over absolute performance. Thanks to advances in dual-core processors and perpendicular recording, laptops are giving tough competition to PCs.

A laptop computer, or simply laptop (also notebook computer or notebook), is a small mobile computer, which usually weighs 2-18 pounds (around 1 to 8 kilograms), depending on size, materials, and other factors.

Laptops usually run on a single main battery or from an external AC/DC adapter which can charge the battery while also supplying power to the computer itself. Many computers also have a 3 volt cell to run the clock and other processes in the event of a power failure.



 

How to Choose the Best Graphics Card for Gaming

By Kuristosu Dei
First you need to look at the several factors surrounding the question 'what do you want in a graphics card?' Do you want the best quality, the best price offer, dual screen monitor support, what kind of games are you going play and so on. If you are into first person shooters at the highest quality you might spend around 300 to 500 dollars, but if you love strategy games then you might only spend under a 100$, it makes a big difference.

So as you research, what price range do you have in mind? Are you willing to spend over 100 dollars for a higher quality graphics card or do you want to stick with a basic model? Also, if your wondering whether the card in your computer is good enough to play the games you want?

The answer is most of the time no. The one put inside computer (unless it is a gaming computer) are usually bare minimum and not optimized for high computer gaming. And even if your video settings read 128MB in your system, it isn't always that, because your graphics card can be using shared ram. A long story short if your wanting to play any of the bigger RPG's or First person shooters then your gonna need a new one. On the other hand if your playing MMOs or (Massive Multiplayer Online games) or older RTS or (real time strategy) then you might do just fine.

On to bigger, better things, you need to look at how much MB of memory the card has and whether you need an AGP or PCI graphics card. In order to find out whether your slot is an AGP or PCI Click Here, it will give you the step by step on how to figure this out. In order to find out how much MB or memory you want its really up to you. It ranges from about 128MB to 768MB depending on how great you want your PC games to run. Most of the better games require a better one that will perform rather well, and requires a higher memory. Other than that you shouldn't really have to check much else, the card you buy (if fairly new) should come with all the newest shaders and parts tact on to the unit.

Now that your a little more educated visit this site YourGamerCard.com and it will show you every graphics card needed for whatever computer game and how much the card will cost you. I personally write for this website and you will probably find what your looking for.



 

Rebooting a Windows XP Computer Using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

By Kuristosu Dei
We are frequently involved in projects with small and medium sized organisations. Due to the size of these organisations often the network infrastructure available is limited as a result of smaller budgets than their larger competitors. One side effect of this reduced budget is that our clients sometimes need hardware and software to function in ways it is not exactly designed for.

One example of this is often not being able to afford the licence fee for Windows Server and instead to use Windows XP Professional or even Windows XP Home to run a central file, print or database server. Clearly this approach would not work for a Microsoft Active Directory Domain Controller but can be used for many other types of server and there are times where there is no other option.

There are two usability downsides to be aware of for remote administration when taking the decision to use Microsoft Windows XP instead of Windows Server.

The first is that Windows XP Professional when accessed through Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections does not display a log off button or a reset option on the shutdown - the only option is to shut down the server which is not ideal and will mean that it won't restart afterwards; this can be solved.

The simplest way to overcome the problem is to create a batch file to restart the server, to do this:

1. Open Notepad (or another text editor)

2. Type: shutdown -r -t 5

3. Save the file somewhere sensible (such as the desktop) with a name such as restart.bat, the important thing is it ends with the extension of .bat

To run the file just double click it, the switches in the shutdown command are:

-r = restart (instead of shutdown)
-t 5 = the amount of time to wait before restarting in seconds - in this case 5 secs.

The second issue is that terminal services functionality available to facilitate remote administration through tools such as RDP is only sufficient to allow one user to log on at a time. This can cause problems if you use it as a development server for example, but as a file store it is unlikely you want more than one or two administrators - with a small number they can manage the situation by phone calls.

Techita would advise wherever possible to use the version of operating system designed for the role you intend the server to perform, however when this is just not possible this tip may make the management that little bit simpler.

Why Is My Computer Running Slow?

By Kuristosu Dei

Computer slowness can be caused by a variety of issues, which can be categorized in 2 categories: hardware or software. Computer hardware are the physical parts of the computer system, for example motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc. Computer software are all the programs and applications that are installed on your PC. Software includes the operating system like Microsoft Windows XP or Vista and all of the applications such as Microsoft Office, Photoshop, etc. Viruses, spyware and malware are software as well.

Things to check:

* Startup programs
* Virus and spyware scan
* Hard Drive out of space
* Fragmented hard drive
* Bad sector or corrupted files
* Overheating due to dust

Most common reason for computer slowness is unnecessary applications running in the background. When new programs & applications are installed many times they will be configured to start automatically when your computer starts.

These applications are not always needed, and will take up a portion of your computer's memory (RAM) which in turn will slow your computer down. To check what applications start automatically, clicks on the start button, then click on run, then type 'msconfig' and click on OK. Once the Systems Configuration Utility is open, click on the Startup tab. On the startup tab you can select the programs that you want to start.

Unselecting any of the programs in the startup tab will not remove them from your computer; it will merely keep them from starting automatically every time you turn your PC on. I recommend unselecting all the applications that you don't need. If you see software that you don't recognize it could be indication of virus of spyware.

If your computer is running slow and you're getting a lot of pop-up windows, even when you're not using the computer, your computer is most likely infected with a virus and/or spyware. Everybody should have antivirus software installed, updated and running at all times. There are many antivirus software packages, the best one on my opinion is Nod32 from ESET.

Regardless of antivirus software that you use, you should always keep it updated, and regularly scan your system for viruses. Most antivirus software don't check for spyware, so if your computer is infected by spyware, you should download a specialized spyware removal software. There are 2 programs that I use myself all the time, Spybot and Adaware they are absolutely free to use. Once you download and install these programs, make sure to run the updates and scan your entire computer.

Make sure your hard drive is not out of space. If it is, it's a good idea to get an upgrade, or delete some programs and files. Delete all of the temp files, temporary internet files and cookies, you could do it manually or use another free program called "ccleaner".

When files are stored on your computer's hard drive they are not always stored in the most efficient way and can become fragmented. Fragmented files take a lot longer for your system to open or save. To start the defragmentation utility click on Start then programs -> accessories -> system tools -> disc defragmenter. Defragment all of the drives listed. The defragmentation process can take anywhere from about 5 minutes to a couple of hours, and sometimes needs to be repeated. I recommend defragmenting the computer hard drive about once a month.

Another cause of computer slowness could be a corrupted system file or a bad sector on the hard drive. Bad sectors can corrupt systems files which can slow down your PC or even keep it from running.

To check and correct bad sectors run the scan disk (chkdsk) utility.

Make sure the computer is not overheating or running very warm. Most computer allow air to flow through the computer, this is great for cooling but also causes a lot of dust to accumulate inside of computer case. Dust will cause poor air circulation and might overheat your PC. Open up the case of the PC and blow all dust out using compressed air.
