http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0072977&catid=
I need to install new programs and stuff since its brand new and way faster than the one i had before. Can you guys tell me what programs to have to make my comp safe and no viruses.
Thanks :D
Nice Comp. I personally use Avg Free which you can get at http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 It hasn't let me down yet unless I inadvertantly invite something nasty in but you cant blame the software for my stupidity...
um nice, i guess it could use a better vid card but xep for that its decent, btw, anyone know how much 2Ghz amd is rated at?
i know that a 1.8 is rated at 2.5
Anti-virus:
NOD32 or Norton Corprate edition.
Firewall:
ZoneAlarm
I also need some good programs. Like media players, music downloads and so on. I want the best programs because like i said i want this to be a fast comp with out viruses and bugs. Also is there a way to download files faster? I heard there was a special program for that.
There are three main slot types actully.
AGP, PCI, and PCI-E
PCI is used on most expansion cards, but hardly any graphic cards.
AGP and PCI-E are the main graphic card slots.
PCI-E is many times better then AGP.
Now, you CAN NOT put a card ment for one slot into any other kind of slot. You will break it if you force it in, and a warrenty won't cover that.
AGP and PCI-E differ a lot, whilst AGP gives x8 output, PCI-E gives x16. And as far as that computer goes, not a good deal, much cheaper to build your own rig.
And on a side note, PCI based graphics cards SUCK!
Im having a little problem. I just wantted to stick a MS PRO Duo in the card slots but now i cant take it off. Its like stuck there and yes i stick it in the right one. Can anyone tell me what to do?
Most motherboards have a small clip in the card slots to the right, just pull it and the card should come out with some ease.
