Aberax Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 after being told it probably isn't worth fixing my laptop, im looking at new ones.http://www.harveynorman.com.au/products/in...-new-range.html Looks pretty good for what i use it for, 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR2 RAM, 512mb dedicated graphics. Why not try and find a replacement screen on ebay and replace it yourself, it isnt that hard, if you dont feel comfortable to do it yourself, i can do it. Replacement screens go for about $150-$250. If ya need any help let me know, i have been pulling laptops apart at work recently as our store has started doing minor repairs.

SLAPS Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Unpatiently awaits for the 'decent' 120 odd GB SSD's to drop from the 600+ price range. The degraded over time write speeds appear to be sorted with the higher end SSD's via their TRIM/WIPE programs (until Windows 7 that is) now the wait for the price to drop.

bezender Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 would only need the server card on a gigabit lan, and even then its maximum overkill in a domestic setting. it would make zero difference on ur intarwebs speed.

Dohmar Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 cheap ones are inferior to a server cardhence price difference only because theyre hardware accelerated - which is really only an issue when you're dealing with MAJOR bandwidth transactions (as steve alluded to) or if you're an anal FPS gamer who wants an extra 2 fps (and about a quarter of the ethernet latency - which means SFA unless you're LANning it up) i think there was a game company making hardware based cards, they were around teh $150 mark for gamer nuts... server cards will still set you back more IMHO you can't go past the realtek 8139 series if limited to 10/100.... really good driver support and dirt cheap ($7 or so) -D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/138/#findComment-4620284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberax Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I remember an add in some PCPP mags, of a ninja holding a gaming network card....ummmm, was called....Killer. But i don't reckon you would see much difference between a $20 10/100/1000 and a $200 gaming network card for normal everyday use, with a bit of lanning. As for server work, yes i could see a difference there, but why go to that extent for just basic use.

SLED Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 anyone got an external DVD drive I can borrow to install Office on my laptop......the internal one is playing up on this particular disc but the disc is fine on other PC's. Funny thing is, the laptop plays other discs fine.

Aberax Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Just copy the files off of the cd/dvd onto a flash drive and run them from there on the laptop, or transfer the files across a network.
