Finally a new laptop!

<< < (3/5) > >>

Kuroshima:
I play 1080p on my single core athlon @ 2.2 Ghz....
Haha you should get a htpc with a quad core and mount it to the back of a 22"
way more powerful... Just not as convenient :p
that will definitely help your encodes... Oh and make sure it's cuda/ stream enables.

Takeshi:
I ended up getting the Acer Aspire 7540G.

This laptop is so fucking awesome. I just played Mirror's Edge with the nicest graphics I've ever been able to. I'm getting L4D2 Demo and I've even thought about getting Batman Arkham Asylum, though I think it's a bit pricey at the moment, might wait for Christmas or something. Also, I've spent enough money for one day, I think. ;)

Screw it, got it anyway.

I'm trying to get Bioshock to work since it didn't work on my old laptop and I know a lot of other people have had issues with the game. Also, I hear it was Game of 2007 so it should be good to say the least.

Arrg, I can't for the weekend! It's going to be great!

Goodbye anime, hello gaming! (this is seriously not helping with my 127+ unfinished anime series...

EDIT: On a crap note, laptops these days are filled with crap software from the manufacture. Meh, don't know how much I'll wait to re-format the whole thing. I suspect I can use this laptop's serial number and my "legal" Windows 7 DVD to re-install Home Premium fresh, though I also hate that since a lot of buttons on the laptop becomes useless. Though the function which you can use to turn your computer's settings and programs into what they used to be when you got it is really nice.

Kuroshima:
Can't you go get an oem disc? They are all the same. Software for buttons is on manufacturer website.
There is most likely also a recover partition... Though loaded with crapware.

Takeshi:
Ah, yes, that I can always do. Also, my HDD is so big, I can actually just do the main partition. Then I can always restart and use the (11GB) recovery partition to get it back to manufacture settings.

Do you mean a legal OEM disc? As I already said, I already have one, but I downloaded it. It's build 7600. So if that disc works, then I'll stick to it.7

But for now this laptop seems to be doing great at whatever I throw at it so don't need to think about it for a long time. Can't wait to get Gotham Knight 1080p to test this laptop's

Cuda? That's the thing that'll make your graphic card decode the 720p/1080p files instead of stressing your CPU, yes? How can I tell if I have it or not?

zherok:
Fairly sure CUDA is limited to nVidia units.
