You guys heard of that one 20mm fan that actually runs pretty quiet? Would've labeled it fake news if it hadn't been in the c't.
bloody hell, amazon are generous, how did you manage that. *sigh* the mighty atom cant run X-Plane 10, shame really, but it runs on C2D, its like BeamNG, demands a good CPU, luckily the mighty Pentuim dual core E6700 runs it perfectly, but it is let down by the woeful GT610 in that pc --- Post updated --- heatsink? who takes a heatsink! the Athlon 64 X2 isn't all bad, the radeon X1250 works in windows 10 pretty well, but in all honesty it is a rather rubbish graphics card, at 1920x1200 the framerate can dip below 60 to 30, so opening and closing windows doesn't look all that smooth --- Post updated --- heatsink? who takes a heatsink! the Athlon 64 X2 isn't all bad, the radeon X1250 works in windows 10 pretty well, but in all honesty it is a rather rubbish graphics card, at 1920x1200 the framerate can dip below 60 to 30, so ope I don't think an Athlon 64X2 can encode that many streams at decent resolutions and framerates, at least without taking off that is, maybe it will manage 2 maybe 3 640x480 25fps H.264 (3 streams would lead to dropped frames). one webcam will be ok for recording at 640x480 @25fps
Talking about old laptops - I recently found an old HP Pavilion from like 2007 in the basement. It had Vista and tons of viruses and stuff. After sorting out some overheuting issues I installed Linux on it. Runs pretty well if you consider it being that old, still it randomly crashes sometimes. The only thing I like about it is the keyboard, those old ones are great to type. Considering it was called an "entertainment PC" back then (for games and stuff), looking at the specs now is rather funny: Nvidia 8400 GS AMD Turion x64 Dual-Core and 2 Gigs of RAM I don't think I'll use it for anything anyways, was pretty fun to restore though.
By giving as little details as possible *Grins evilly* "Screen won't display." It's not wrong, just misleading.
I have had 3 webcams with Sempron 2800, 15fps as cameras wouldn't do more, thing is, with Linux you don't put video to screen, there is no any kind of graphical UI, Motion runs in a console, so you don't really need to run X, via network you can then use browser to observe what cameras show and of course trough file shares accessing recorded videos is easy and enough quick. With Vista such laptop did not really run even single webcam well.
Could it be taht im one of the rare people to still have a floppy disk drive? And not on a old pc its on my windows 10 pc but it sometimes wont work anymore sadly
Floppy drive? I don't have one. Most modern PCs don't have one. I only have one PC, so you're probably one of the few people that have one... XD
Its in my pc case since the early 2000s and i never took it out and im actually suprised that windows 10 still supports it
UPDATE! Was going to get the I5 4460 CPU but instead im trading my G27 racing wheel for a core i5 4690K LGA1150 CPU
I mean, the 100 series boards was for the Intel Skylake 6000- CPUs (e.g. intel core i5 6600K), and @luckyman has a Haswell CPU which is the Z97, H97 etc chipset. It gets really complicated really fast with the intel CPU and motherboard combinations, I would suggest taking a look on youtube for a guide- helped me out when I was particularly stumped and oblivious
I have a floppy drive in one of my older computers. I have a USB floppy drive I can use on the others if I ever need to.
there really isnt all that much difference between Kabylake and Skylake, and Skylake isnt much different from Haswell, its just a smaller manafacturing process (14nm) which means higher overclocks, if you have a decent cooler then you can push an LGA 1150 cpu high,
Sorry guys, made my self look super dumb there. I had it right just I guess me being me I didn't realize that I typed 1151 instead of 1150 because I've been doing that a lot. IDK why i think 1151 but i typed it more than once.
Performance-wise yes (one of the reasons why AMD Rysen is set to be such a big thing- new competitors), but unfortunately you can't just shove a Kaby-lake CPU into an LGA 1150 board
Anyone else experienced random black squares like this? I really hope that it's not my GPU, but I shouldn't worry about that as BeamNG is the only game it happens in. Oh yeah, and the only other PCI-E GPU I have is awful. And my integrated graphics are awful. And I can't afford a new GPU at the moment. So, I'm praying it's not that.
I guess I should just turn it off then, don't even have a HDR monitor and I probably couldn't notice the difference if I get used to no HDR.
