your school labs's computer hardware?

[NickyVida]

Fired up the school's lab computer and it felt notoriously slow. Yep to my astonishment it has a 3770 chip and 8gb ram. So that leaves the gpu as the most likely cause. Spotted CCC nearby and i facepalmed. Literally. An HD 7450 as the gpu.

Ah well. Not too shabby i guess. My pre vious school rocked a c2d and a nvidia gpu.

[flibberdipper]

Dells have Core 2 Duo E7500's, 4GB of RAM, Radeon HD 3450 512MB, 80 or 160GB SATA Seagate Barracuda's, along with Windows 7 Enterprise x64. I forgot what our iMacs have.

[NickyVida]

Thats the os of my schools lab. I dunno what hdd its running though for that do i need to pop off the case hinges?

[TheNinjaNextDor]

I think they're either running Celerons or Pentiums and using integrated graphics. They all run Windows 7.

[Single Infinity]

The ones in the CS lab at my uni run 8 gigs of ram and Xeons. Most of the rest of the computers in the school run 4770k's.

You wished you could play games with your schools computers?

 

 

I study IT and we have like 4 classes with 20 x thinkpad t420 (i5 2520m) + 4gb ram in some classes and some classes with i5-3470 HP desktops with 8gb ram and 1080p displays. All computers have just igpu.

 

Also everyone in IT class can get t420 + bag for 50€ deposit and when school ends either keep it or return it for 50€. (It comes with most adobe software too.)

And those thinkpads sell like 1500€ here O_o

[OnCue]

We have just a ton of iMac's from like 2008. Complete w/ Core 2 Duos @ 1.2 GHz, 1GB RAM, and a 320GB hard drive... Yeah really cutting edge stuff. Kinda weird, they run super smooth for having such low specs.

We did just get a technology bond for $10 million and everybody got iPad 4s and all the teachers got new MacBook Pro 2013s, which are pretty sweet.

[Flight1sim]

We have some MacBooks, Macbook Pro's, Imacs, and Macbook Airs...

Usually Core2 Duos and i5's

2008-2013

[Wtalk2]

Pentium 4 2.8GHz with 1GB of RAM and 40GB 5400RPM HDD's running Windows XP

[bamerx98]

for our cad class we just got upgraded hardware but before they were Core2duo E8800 i think and they had 2 Gbs of ram and xp, these are the better pcs of the school every other lab is core2duo, or older. the new cad computers have i7 4770 16Gbs of ram, fire pro w7000 and 2Tb hdds

[Kyuubixchidori]

A bunch of our labs are running brand new I5s, 16 gigs of ram. The tech oriented classes have gtx 640s, the normal labs are integrated. all the teachers have I5 laptops. Each room has a 48 inch flatscreen and a touchscreen projector. theres probably 60ish of those tvs through out the halls. 

[DroPouT1999]

My school was still using P4's until about have way through my first year, so yeah...

 

EDIT: And CRT's

[MG2R]

We run a mainframe (dual socket, 128 GB RAM) and a bunch of thin clients in one room. All other computers in school are dells at an average age of about 5 years, I guess. Al machines are capable of doing what they need to be doing.

[megadarkwood]

Stupid..

 

i7, 1gb ram and igpu or some shit

 

Dell AIO's obviously

[Doxxy]

Pentium 4 2.8GHz with 1GB of RAM and 40GB 5400RPM HDD's running Windows XP

That's so easy to exploit it's not even funny.

[Wtalk2]

That's so easy to exploit it's not even funny.

Can't wait for all the computers to get infected with all the new XP viruses.

[DIV1D3]

I had, and still do cause I bought it off the school, a ThinkPad L440, i5-4200M and 8GB RAM, 720M and supposedly there was a 250GB HDD, but when I cracked that baby open it was a 60GB SSD . 

The only thing I was annoyed about was that it came pre-installed with Win8, but the school put Win7 on them . Oh also the touchpad was such a pain to get used to, the buttons were one with the touchpad, sooooo annoying. It was like I was using a x10 more capable, heavier Mac. 

[James.]

About half of the computers are Core2Duo Machines with 3GBs of ram with 17 inch square monitors (that really are not that bad.), and the other half are Pentium 4 machines with 512MB of ram, 40GB hard drives, and use CRT monitors that can give you a headache. Additionally, around 75-80% of the computers are still running windows XP...

No. Open Computer, right click the drive, properties, and then the hardware tab.

 

[Stigs]

My tech lab's computers are some Dell desktops with Xeons, I think 8gb of RAM, and an AMD Firepro GPU.

[flibberdipper]

I forgot about the middle school (I was just thinking the high school).

 

More Dell's, some are Optiplex GX280's? with 3.0GHz P4's, 512MB of RAM, 40GB Maxtor or Seagate 7200RPM, Intel Extreme Graphics 2, and Windows XP Professional. Others are Optiplex GX760's (like the high school), most with Core 2 Duo E7200 or E7500's, 4GB of RAM, Radeon HD 3450 512MB, and Windows XP.

 

One had a Core 2 Extreme Q9650, 8GB of RAM, Windows XP Professional x64, and a GTX 480 (not a Dell), but some of us ( ) ran Prime95 and Furmark ALL HOUR and made the room super hot. They replaced it with another of the 760s.

[pspfreak]

Dells with 4GB Ram, c2d and some low end ati hd card. Running windows 7. 17" 1280x1024 monitors.

[abhay6547]

My school's computer lab recently got some updated Core 2 Duo Dell PCs like last year.

 

This is sort of off-topic but today, in my computer science class, we saw that there was a large pile of twigs and leaves near the back of the classroom. The window was open and, guess what? A squirrel got in over the weekend because our teacher left the window open and it chewed up the whole back row of cables. Cables like those from mice and keyboards and also ethernet cables. This meant a lot of my classmates couldn't use their computers and had to share with others. What's weirder is that the squirrel is still in that room somewhere, but no one knows where. There was a case box chewed up with a large hole in it but nothing inside.

[1823alex]

HP/Compaq Elite 3200 or something with an i7 ivy bridge (I think) 16gb ram a western digital blue drive standard stuff etc.

[Lord Gaben]

HP Desktops

Dual core i5's

4gb ram

Integrated Intel

Windows 7, only just upgraded from XP

And these are our best machines

Worst are some HP thin clients connected to one win server 2003 machine and using them is super laggy
