my schools pc (massive overkill)

[Leonard]

It is not over kill, they are just making sure that students have sufficient power for what ever they are studying. 

[Keyboy]

My school 6 months ago had intel celeron's 2GB of ram, no graphics card some old 480 square monitor, they just got new ones with intel 2 core duo -.-

My current college has upgraded their PC's. Haswell i3, 120GB Evo and 8GB of RAM with a M-ATX Motherboard. - I built a couple of them! I thought that was pretty good for college! But now I've realised they've be skimping out on us!

[-iSynthesis]

so for a while now i have been talking about my schools pcs, and well here is a pic proving that my school has boss pcs

So what do you all thing, is this overkill?

 

EDIT: i forgot to mention, that we have a 24" and a 17.6" monitor per seat

 

EDIT: for all those that dident believe me:

How does it feel? that the school has basicly the same PC as you do? i dont need to worry because we're using some shitty first gen i5 with integrated graphics

[TheRuke]

Why do you have 16GB when you can just download some more?

[aj2000]

Are all of your school's computers like this?

[YeroJero]

The IT technicians must be part of the master race...or just incredibly inefficient with financial management.

[Twililooks]

The main point in school pc's is, they barely know what the hell they're building or buying for PC's.

Must be another day in Bsc Video Game Development lecture.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

My school PCs dont have a gpu B)

[aidenrelkoff]

DAFUQ?? I only got Core i3-2330s in each system, running at a blistering 200F and severely underclocked to 1.6 GHz. No discrete graphics whatsoever, paired with a crappy 19 inch acer monitor. Glad that they are almost silent and are not OEM brands (yuck dell is the worst).

ikr

Open a cmd and run this command:"userpasswords2" at my old school we had the same thing, the only thing we could get access to in the control panle was "display" if you go there you can make your self admin i did so i could hack into the network and unlock everything on the pc

Lucky kid, the best our school has is dell optiplex i3's...

And the so called 'good graphics' ones in art have nvidia 3** series gpus in them with a c2d lol. My laptop beasts most of their stuff

[Flyguygamer]

What school district do you go to and home many computers do they have?

[Cwazywazy]

Most of the computers in my school are 2.8GHz Core 2 Duos running on the Intel graphics. (I forget how much RAM. 4GB I think.) They can run Halo 1 okay. (Someone hid Halo in the student shared drive so everyone can play it.) It runs MC at tolerable FPS on low with Optifine. They all have 1280x1024 screens. There are probably 150-300 of these things in my school alone. (The district uses these in all the schools.)

 

Then there's the computers in my Applied Electronics classroom. Core I7s with Quadro graphics. (Forget the rest.) And big Dell 1080p screens. They can play Halo at max settings and fullscreen. (MC runs good too.)

 

Then they have a few laptop carts that are mainly for the English classrooms. They're different models of HP laptops and I haven't (yet) used one of them but they are loud. Intel I5s. The worst part is that they ALL run at like 1024x768 or something when the screens are (Just a guess) 1336x768. It looks awful. Because of restricted privileges I can't change anything in the control panel. (I can open task manager which is nice.)

 

I actually found a laptop that was running full resolution and it looked glorious except it wouldn't connect to the server so I couldn't log on. Oh yeah, they all have those pointing sticks which I prefer over touchpads but most of them were taken off by kids. (My first laptop had just a pointing stick, no trackpad which is why I use it so much on my current laptop.)

[Corvus]

We have a ProBook 6465b with 4GB RAM and an AMD A4-3310MX APU. 

It's rather descent for what it has to do actually.

[DEA]

Ehm our school computers has sh*t specs but it doesn't matter cuz it runs remote desktop and the server is like 10km away and the internet runs on a copper cable D:

 

Some computers even have i3 and i5, That doesn't make a difference :C

We built a gaming pc with a 4770k + 7970 triple monitor eyefinity with 2 128gig SSDs in raid 0 in our class/work room place (i don't remember the english name for the room lol)

Pretty beast

 

(Though all the PCs that we practice/do work on are pentium 4, core 2 duo or i3 Dells)

[Lil Chillbil]

When I was in 8th grade I was put in charge as an network admin on over 50 imac g3's and that is ALL we had. 

 

this was in 2011 btw

[Scottonpc]

Even for an editing PC that is overkill

[LePawel]

My uni also has pretty much exact copies of that, except they're located in the "Games Development" suite, with 3DS Max, Visual Studio n shit
