Games my pc can handle??

Well, I just got my new laptop a few weeks ago and it is great. It has one very horrible UNfeature- a built in graphics card, which means a poor one in this case. (It also has a single core vs. dual core processor, but that should not be TOO big a problem.) My question: can I play, for example, some older "mech" games on this pc? What types of games are compatible with a $360 computer? AND, how do I figure out (online) if my pc has what it takes to play a game before I buy it (online, and immediately download....) -DarkBolt
Ps: It is a Compaq Presario CQ60-615dx

MSI Big Bang-XPower II More MB RAM than the CPU can handle...

I understand reading in a few forum post :" By making more memory available to the system more data can be cached in RAM, so there will be less hard drive activity, and less swapping to memory so your system will perform better." But what happen when motherboard for a desktop that supports( and had install) more RAM than the processor can handle?(aka:processor Max Memory Size).
Please comment in this configuration.as I 'm looking for a MB than offer me the more SATA6 connection i found a few available using LGA2011 socket (MSI Big Bang-XPower II LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6GB/s USB 3.0 XL ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS) than support 128GB. As I understand the processor Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Processor only work with 64GB.
Is there any advantage to have a MB that hold a bigger RAM capacity than the CPU? If so, how can this be translate using in a program like Adobe After Effects, RAM preview? thank

More Memory doe's not make it faster as its Volatile Memory (more RAM but it has to be run at much slower speeds) that is very short term and is just a buffer for active Programs and files it Caches there while its active but in no way improves system speed (as it has to be clocked slower to allow the IMC on the CPU to cope with it)! more memory just allows more Active Large programs and files open at the same time and huge amount of ram will only really be of benefit for things like Video Editing, photo editing and 3D rendering as those take alot of ram to allow all the computations that the CPU does to be held for quick access but only when they are active!
having more RAM then your CPU can Handel is a VERY BAD IDEA as it will just refuse to even post or in very rare cases damage the CPU's IMC leading to a dead CPU!
why MSI have done that is for possible later 2011 CPU's that may allow the 128GB of RAM limit to be used but currently they do not exist currently as X79 is a more professional grade Platform that will probably be around for years to come (may be used for many upgrade cycles and may eventually have a cpu that can use 128GB or ram) and who knows what will happen with Intel CPU's in that time frame! (more of a possible forward compatibility thing as its a very high end platform)
as for after effects it uses RAM for holding Render Files so in theory more ram will just allow it to render Larger files that are more complex without hitting the Available Ram ceiling that your computer has but it will not render any faster as a result it just gives it more headroom to work in!
so overall more ram = more Active space available & no increase in speed (actually maybe a drop in speed as it needs to run slower causing LAG/Latency) so it all depends what is important to you here to whether more ram is of any benefit or just a hindrance but that is down to your own use case scenario!

How to know if this computer can handle a certain monitor's resolution?

I am looking to buy a new monitor, but I am at a loss as to how to know whether my computer can handle the monitor's resolution, will be compatible with it. I used to run two NEC Multisync FE991SB (CRT) monitors side by side, and one of them died. Their native resolution seems to be 1280x1024 per monitor. I am considering buying a DoubleSight DS-263N (LCD) monitor, which has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200, and running it alongside the NEC Multisync FE991SB that has not died.

Any advice on how i can learn about compatibility? And on what card i need to buy, if i do need to buy one? Thanks.

Dear Discussion Folks,
Thank you all so much for your help. I think I understand now, as a result of your comments and this reply from NVIDIA customer support:
"I understand from your mail that you would like to know if GeForce FX 5200 Ultra supports your monitor that has a recommended digital resolution of 1920 x 1200.Please be informed that as per the NVIDIA records, the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1600 x 1200 and the maximum analog resolution supported by this graphics card is 2048 x 1536. Since you have mentioned in your e-mail that the Apple's specs page says that the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1920 x 1200, in this case, I request you to contact Apple Support over phone and get confirmed on this. The reason why I am requesting you to contact Apple is because, we at NVIDIA, manufacture only the basic chipsets for the graphics cards and sell them to Apple Computers. The Apple Computers produce the graphics cards using the NVIDIA chipsets."
This reassured me that there's no reason to worry about the appearance of a contradiction between the Apple tech sheet and the NVIDIA tech sheet. I went ahead and ordered this monitor today: the DoubleSIght DS- 265W.
(by the way, sorry about typing 1900x1200 when I meant 1920x1200).
After it arrives in a week or two, I'll update this thread to confirm that its resolution is supported by the GeForce FX 5200 Ultra card.
Thanks again,
Mark

My ibook can handle which videoformat?

First of all, please excuse me for any mistakes in my written English, as it is not my main language.
So here I go:
Now that I've upgraded my ibook tangerine with a 120GB harddrive, I want to store some movies on it in a format that my ibook can handle.
I will use my macbook to rip a few dvd's and convert it to the proper videoformat, but the question is, which videoformat? I suppose that my ibook can't handle divx, xvid and plain dvd's.
My aim is to be able to watch some tv series on my ibook (ripped from my dvd-collection), that's all, it doesn't have to be high quality, just watchable and without, if possible, frame drops.
Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
iBook Tangerine 300Mhz, 120GB HD, 128Mb Ram Mac OS X (10.3.9) Macbook (Black), 2.0GHz, 2GB Ram, 80GB HD

I've installed the freeware video player VLC on my daughter's 300mhz tangerine iBook, there is an option to drop frames.
She plays movies right from the harddisk (CD is too slow)
Her first option is to use the old MPEG1 Format (VCD 320x240pixels. The compression and Quality is low, so there are only a few dropped frames and you can watch your movie flawlessly.
On the other hand we tried to play movies in MPEG4 Format (464x368 pixels). For the first 10 seconds you will see nothing but a scrambled screen, but all of the sudden the movie shows up and you will be able to watch the scene (with several dropped frames, but not too bad)
If you use the pause function, you have to wait for 10 more seconds before the film continues, don't use the fast forward key....
Hope this helps. If you'll find a perfect solution in between, I'll be glad to hear from you.

[SOLVED] recommendation for a text editor that can handle 25mb+ files?

Not sure where to put it, so I put it her (if it's not the right place, can someone please move it.. thanks!)
I'm building a database of about 60,000 files in folder X.
I'm using php to organise all the files and clean them up (for exmaple removing "-" and ":") and then sticking them into a database.
my main text editor is vim,and then I usually use a gui based editor for fast navigation (lets see you go through 1,010,131 lines of output in vim).
The output is usually suppressed, but the amount of files in X, changes daily (one day can go without change, then next day a user can add 20 files and another user can remove a file), so whenever a new file comes in I want to see that my code can handle it properly, then be able to stick in thee db properly.
recently trying to open a 1million line file in Kate, or Kwrite seems to crash dolphin (KDE).
If I install gvim, I'll need to remove Vim, and I dont want to do that.
I'm looking for something small with scroll bars, that only needs to edit txt files.

thanks for the suggestions thought , I see I have to work on my VIM navigation skills
If you know that it's some specific subdirectory that usually messes up, or you know the name of the file you want to find, you can do /FILENAME to search for it. If you know it usually is around line 600,000, then try out 600000G.

What is the maximum size a sender SOAP adapter can handle?

Hi,
I am using sender SOAP adapter and receiver RFC adapter.
What is the maximum size of request message it can handle efficiently.
In the current scenario which I need to design , the request XML file could be up to 24 MB.
Also if you could comment on which would be the best to use as the sender side - SOAP or File Adapter
when the request message/file is of such size?
regards
Arun G

hi,
>What is the maximum size of request message it can handle efficiently.
it totally depends on your hardware and flow design inside XI/PI
>In the current scenario which I need to design , the request XML file could be up to 24 MB.
this size is not a lot for a "normal" XI machine but it also depends on the
volume of those messages - that is if you need to send
one message like that per day or 1000 per half an hour...
>Also if you could comment on which would be the best to use as the sender side - SOAP or File Adapter
when the request message/file is of such size?
SAP's general recommendation is to use messages around 5mb
but it heavily depends on other factors so don't threat it as a must

External Table which can handle appending multiple csv files dynamic

I need an external table which can handle appending multiple csv files' values.
But the problem I am having is : the number of csv files are not fixed.
I can have between 2 to 6-7 files with the suffix as current_date. Lets say it will be like my_file1_aug_08_1.csv, my_file1_aug_08_2.csv, my_file1_aug_08_3.csv etc. and so on.
I can do it by following as hardcoding if I know the number of files, but unfortunately the number is not fixed and need to something dynamically to inject with a wildcard search of file pattern.
CREATE TABLE my_et_tbl
my_field1 varchar2(4000),
my_field2 varchar2(4000)

Maximum Message size OSB can handle

Hi,
I am trying to find out the maximum message size OSB can handle without any problems.
I know this may be dependant on JVM settings etc,but what is a safe limit.Can the payload size be of 1 GB etc , say for a WSDL based proxy service.
Any formal documentation on the size of messages?
Thanks.

What is the latest windows os that the T43 can handle/support?

I have many problems with windows 7 RTM on my T43 and requires upgrades and so on in order to work so what OS works?

The T43 can handle Windows 7 without any issues. In matter of fact, it runs Windows 7 a lot better than Vista (which never really ran all that good on any manufacturer's laptop as far as I could see). I'm using Windows 7 now on my T43 ... but ... I first upgraded to a full 2 Gig of memory from MemoryTen at www.memoryx.net. Otherwise, forget it.
I did a fresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate (I purchased the OEM version from NewEgg), then installed ThinkVantage System Update 4 to get all the IBM/Lenovo specific drivers. I installed Access Connections, Client Security (to get my fingerprint reader back), and Rescue & Recovery separately from the Lenovo ThinkVantage Windows 7 downloads. So, I have a T43 Windows 7 Ultimate system without all the bloatware. :^)
Seriously, my T43 originally came with Windows XP Pro. XP was okay but even with 2 Gigs of memory, Vista ran horrible on it (I'd never suggest Vista on a T43). But since I installed Windows 7, my T43 shines better than before. And it's more stable than my wife's Dell. :^)
Life is just one big "Beta Test"
Happy owner of a T43 (Windows 7) and T23 (Windows XP)

Looking for Mac that can handle CPU intensive apps (Music & Video)

Hi everyone, I am looking to get a new mac in the near future but wanted to know which Desktop mac is best for music and video? I was thinking of the new iMac but not sure if they are powerful enough? I need something that can handle CPU intensive stuff. I will be using it mainly for video editing and music producing

In a nutshell,
Look at the new 27 inch screen iMac models.
Get the fastest optional CPU,
Decide which optional GPU you'd be comfortable with.
Get the base 8 GBs of RAM and then purchase extra, cheaper RAM through third party Mac RAM sellers.
Then add as much RAM as you think you need. The 27 inch screen models can take up to 32 GBs of RAM.
Decide on optional storage sizes.
If you need a CD / DVD optical drive, these are no longer built-in and you will need to budget for a good external optical drive.
Budget for 3-year extended AppleCare warranty service.
In case of reliability issues with the first 5 years of operational life, the iMac will be covered with free warranty service for the first three years.
Good Luck!

What is the maxium number a vector can handle

Hi,
Well since I have not recieved any replies as of yet to my
other question, and since I need to push my project along, I
decided to use the behaviour scripts given at director-online/havok
site, and I applied them to my car. In additioin, I am also trying
to use the create terrain behaviour that is included in the raycast
jeep demo. However, I would like to set my terrain size to 6000
units in width and 6000 units in depth. So when I attach the
behaviour to the 3d scene, the getPropertyDescriptionList dialog
window opens to allow you to set the terrain's size, which it asks
you to set the upper left corner vector which I set it to
vector(3000, 0, -3000) and then it asks you to set the lower right
coner vector which I set this to vector(-3000, 0, 3000) which in
total should give me the size of 6000 units in width and 6000 units
in depth. However, after I click on the "OK" button my values
change to the following...
upper left corner = vector(3.00000e3, 0, -3.00000e3)
lower right corner = vector(-3.00000e3, 0, 3.00000e3)
In addition, not only that the whole number changed from 3000
to 3, but the biggest problem is that because the end values have
the e3 added to it I get a script error when I play the movie. So I
was wondering if there is a maximum number that a vector unit can
handle? If so then is there another type of format I could use that
handle larger numbers? Or is this a bug in Director 8.51. Yeah I
know, I am way behind in the software versions, but I do not have
$1200 to shovle out for a new version of Director.

Oh I see. So I guess what you are saying is that is
Director's way of compressing vector numbers. Also, as to what you
were saying about the number 3000 is sure not the limit for vector
units, I think I was just jumping the gun considering that I only
glanced at the script error, and then clicked on the debug button
to see where the error happened. Then once I looked at the varibles
in the varible window, I saw these weird numbers with the e3 at the
end of them, and I just thought that it could not add the vectors
together with the e3 at the end of each vector unit. However, to
make a long story short, I detached the script and reattached it
which did no create the error again, and I learned that Director
can add vector units together that have an e3 at the end of each
vector unit. So thanks for clarifying what the e3 means.
