Shitty School Computers :DD

[ShadowDeity]

Sup guys,

 

So I wanted to check the specs on PC's at my school (shittiest PC's I have ever seen) and they somehow managed to block the control panel window. (Says "No items to Display").  Any idea how to get around this?  

All I know right now is that it's running an Intel Core 2 Quad and Windows 7.

 

They're called "Lenovo ThinkCentre's".

 

Let the hate begin!

If you think those are bad, you would lose your mind at what we had to deal with.

My HS' desktops are pretty nice actually. A bunch of new dell optiplex's with i5 4590 and 8 gigs of ram.

They all run Win. 7 Unltimate.

[Asulenovcer]

When I was in school, we had mostly i3 and i5 computers. I don't remember of what generation they were.

[Solarisfire]

When I was at School we still has Pentium 1/2 machines...

 

Anything these days is better...

 

Either way why hack around with school equipment? Just game when you get home...

At least I made it look nice (the whole things has a red/white/black color scheme thanks to me)

My school's computers either have C2D E7500 or i3-4130's with 8GB RAM, not to bad for a school comp eh?

 

Plus, why do you want to know? You can find out the CPU and RAM just by Start menu > Computer on windows

[MatthewEnderle]

I had PowerMacs.

What the crap?  I wish.

 

Takes roughly 2 minutes to start Chrome.

Some are running XP still.... and the network goes down every few days. 

 

I have a hard time working on these things.......

Some of ours still have Pentium's.

 

I just wanted to see the shitty specs.  No need to game.

Oh...

 

I'd of just shoved in a USB linux drive and booted off of that then...

 

Then reviewed the specs in /proc

[Bangflop]

My school had the old school Pentium's with 2 gigs of ram and it was running XP... I had to do photoshop on those things

[ShadowDeity]

They have replaced one of the lab's (graphic design lab) with Macs, but the rest are still stuck with shitty computers with shitty CPU's and RAM, this one I'm working on has 4GB of RAM and an Intel Core Quad 2...

 

Damn, I only wish I could drag my gaming PC to school every day...

... Is that really the shittiest PC you've ever seen? That's actually quite good. Certainly better than most PCs I see on a regular basis. (generally dual cores, less than 3GB of RAM and Windows XP/Vista)

My school had a bunch of pentium 2 with less than 128MB of RAM... (It was also 10+ years ago)

[ShadowDeity]

Thankfully this is my last year in HS.  Then off to University!

No, not the shittiest... Was exaggerating but you can't exactly say these are good.

It's good enough for schoolwork (I'd argue that it's overkill for schoolwork)

[Coombzy]

We had Pentium D's with 512MB of RAM for most of the time I was at school. I always brought in my old laptop at the time. In the last few years they upgraded one room to i5's with 8GB of RAM and now... they apparently have macs.

[SkilledRebuilds]

Back when I was at school doing CAD, we had a room full of 486 DX-100's (Singlecore 100Mhz) on SLOW ASS Ribbon cabled IDE-66 HDD's running NT4.0 with 128MB of RAM (Double the norm standard Memory amount of the time)

"You don't know how SLOW!"

/This is the same timeframe I learnt how to OC a 486 DX100 into a DX120 (Overclocking done with ON/OFF toggle combination switches (dip-switchs) on the board to up the FSB and also the Multi, like a calculation table, certain switch's activate certain combo's)

that's fucking amazing

Lat year when I was a senior at my school, our engineering room got a grant for new computers, and our teacher let us chose the components, We got 16GB of  ram, 256GB ssd, and gtx 950s I believe.  A hell of allot better to model on than core 2 duos and 4gb of ram. 

 

950s didn't exist then.

[babadoctor]

my school is in a robotics league, the computers run solidworks

i somehow lobbied the school to buy 4 way GTX titans and an i7 skylake for me to build LOL

[The Official Czex]

were 750s as I recommended , vendor or whoever builds the school's pcs upgraded the specifications to 950s when the  order was put in later in the year. 

 

Ah, OK.

[Kryptic BladeZz]

At my high school we used to have really shitty old dual core Intel's but they finally upgraded them into i5-4590's with 8gb of RAM. Asus too don't know the exact model though. I was disappointed when I took the side panel off and there are no dedicated graphics.
