  1. Tha depends on what CPU you have. Press Start+R, and type in DXDiag. YOu will find information aobut your computer. In the second tab, there is information about your graphics card. There are hundreds of laptop GPU's.
  2. Even though the clock is quicker on the 670, the 680 is better. If you are not familiar with nVidias GTX series graphics cards, this is how it goes. Outdated---------------------------------450 Outdated---------------------550------~460 Outdated-------------------550Ti---~465 Entry level --- 650 ------~560------~470 Entry level --- 650Ti ---~560Ti----~480 Mainstream - 660 ------~570 Mainstream - 660Ti ----~580 High end ----- 670 ------~~590 High end ----- 680 High end ----- 690 The 670 is not a card I recommend. Either the 680, or the 660Ti. The performance between a 670 and a 680 isn't huge, but it's there. You can watch some benchmarks on the internet. Here are some links for you. :) [url= ][/url=][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bsxc3YsGak]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bsxc3YsGak[/url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bsxc3YsGak] [url=http://www.hwcompare.com/12501/geforce-gtx-670-vs-geforce-gtx-680/]http://www.hwcompare.com/12501/geforce-gtx-670-vs-geforce-gtx-680/[/url=http://www.hwcompare.com/12501/geforce-gtx-670-vs-geforce-gtx-680/] If you choose the 660Ti, you can always buy another one if you are not statisfyed, and your hardware is compatible. Glad to help, if I helped. :)
  3. Download Furmark 3D and check so that the graphics card isn't overheating. Download Intel burn-in test to check the CPU as well. What case are you using? What cooler for the CPU? Stock?
  4. Linus actuallly has a video, where he manages to fix it!
  5. Hi. I have got myself a 2009 laptop with a dual core Pentium @ 2Ghz, and 3Gb RAM. The graphics are integrated Intel HD, and it has a 17" HD Widescreen monitor. (~1440x900 I think) I only payed 5€ for it! I was really lucky with the price. The harddrive had failed, and the previous owner wasn't willing to fix it. I have orderd a 32Gb SSD for it, and I will install Ubuntu 12.04 on it, and then probably sell it. The investment in it will be 50€. How much could I sell it for? I'm thinking of something like 100€... Thanks.
  6. Hi. I pay for a 24/2 connection. I recently upgraded from a 5/1 connection. When I upgraded, the speed hit some bottleneck. I was stuck at 16.66/1.03. Then, when I upgraded my odl non-wifi router, the speed mysteriously increased to exactly 17.66/1.43. I have always been pretty sure that the bottleneck is caused by the RJ-11 phone cable that is running from my phone outlet to my router. The mysterious thing about this is, that even tough the cable only has two wires twisted up inside of it, it has greater bandwith than CAT-3 cable, which only is rated for 10Mbit/s. How can a cable that is older, and less capable than CAT-3 cable produce greater bandwith? I live in a very old house, and we have made no upgrades to the communication cabling to the house, and the cable is the same as when it was built in 1967. How is it possible for me to achieve such high rates of networking capacity? How much would it cost to get to 24/2? Thanks for reading.
